After 9/11, the world has changed and started re­alizing the painful effects of terrorism and its disastrous consequences. As per report of Global Terrorism Index (GTI), South Asia remains the region with average GTI scorein 2022. The region recorded 1,354 deaths from terrorism in 2022, a decrease of 30% com­pared to 2021. Deaths in Pakistan rose significantly to 643 in 2022, a 120% increase from 292 deaths in 2021 and nine times higher than 2021 terrorism deaths. Over the last one decade, the pattern and trend of terrorism has changed but we have not equipped ourselves to combat the terrorism in the language of terrorists.
