History
Right from the first few days of its independence, India has been a target for terrorists. Within the first few months of its independence, the first major infiltration backed by Pakistan took place in the newly acquired state of Jammu and Kashmir.The Indian Army was able to repel the infiltration successfully. In the 1970s and 1980s, India was targeted by Sikh terrorists, demanding a new nation for the Sikhs. The Khalistan Movement (so called) resulted in the assassination of many political leaders including the then prime minister Indira Gandhi. In the 1990s a new form of terrorism emerged. Some foreign intelligence agencies (mainly the ISI of Pakistan), started recruiting the mafia gangs which were headed by Muslim's. They started a propaganda against India by preaching "Jihad" to the Muslim gangsters. The result was a series of bomb blasts in the heart of Mumbai (then Bombay). It was only after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington that the world realised the potential of terrorism. India and many other nations like Israel, Philippines, Indonesia etc. were able to curb the financial supply to these organisations.
Current List
Following is the list of terrorist organisations which are currently banned in India. Some of them are now inactive as the government was successfully able to convert the opinion of the dissatisfied sectors. The best example of this would be the state of Punjab which had given maximum recruits [citation needed] to the Babbar Khalsa group.
