Armed Violence or Terrorism?

Terrorism is India's most prominent armed-violence issue. But it is not the cause of most deaths. That claim belongs, rather, to individual acts of murder. As Figure 1 shows, in 2009 more than 14 times as many violent deaths were attributable to criminal murder as to terrorist activity: 32,369 cases of criminal murder, compared with 2,231 deaths from terrorism (NCRB, 2011a; SATP, 2010).
