The difference between a terrorist and the militant is very fine.
New Delhi: Militants and terrorists are two words that are often heard in news and discussions, but there is a deep difference in their meaning and purpose. Both take an aggressive stance to implement their ideas, but their methods, goals and influences vary on society. The international media on terrorist attacks in India often uses the term militant of militants for terrorists and it was seen even after the Pahalgam attack. However, the US House Foreign Affairs Committee Magority has also admitted that this attack has not been carried out by militants but terrorists. Come, we tell you the difference between the two.
What is the difference between militant and terrorist
The main difference between militant and terrorist lies in their purpose, methods and influence:
Militant:
Definition: Militants are individuals or groups who try to implement their political, social or religious views aggressively, but not necessarily resorting to violence.
Objective: To promote any ideology, policy or change.
Methods: protests, strikes, or sometimes limited violence.
Example: Any group that performs against the government or launch agitation to change policies.
Terrorist:
Definition: Terrorists are people or organizations who deliberately spread violence, fear and terror to achieve their goals (political, religious, ideological), especially targeting common citizens.
Objective: To create fear in society, destabilize the government or make a wide impact.
Methods: bombings, murder, kidnapping, or large -scale violence.
Examples: Terrorist organizations such as ISIS or Talibans that attack massively.
What is the main difference between the two
Militants can resort to violence, but this is not their primary strategy. Terrorists make violence and fear their main weapons. Militants usually fight for any change or improvement, while terrorists often focus on spreading chaos and fear. The impact of terrorist functions is wider and focused on citizens, while extremist actions are usually limited to specific goals (eg government or policies).
