South Asian militancy

South Asian militancy refers to various armed movements and groups in countries like India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, often driven by political, ethnic, or religious grievances. These groups may seek independence, autonomy, or religious governance. Key examples include separatist movements in Kashmir and Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan. The complexity arises from historical conflicts, such as the India-Pakistan divide, and socio-economic issues. Militancy often leads to violence, instability, and human rights concerns, affecting regional security and international relations. Efforts to address the root causes are vital for achieving lasting peace in the region.
