INTERNAL SECURITY CHALLENGES AND LAWS IN INDIA

INVITATION TO AUTHORS

INTRODUCTION
Internal Security is one of the important components of Indias National security. Initially, it
was confined to maintenance of law and order, containment of communal violence and in
very few cases, counter-insurgencies. India is a country, which has been faced both an
external aggression as well as internal disturbances from the day of its birth. Threats for
Indias Internal National security have many faces i.e. Insurgency, Terrorism, Communal
Violence, Caste and Linguistic Violence. The rise of fundamentalist forces is posing the most
serious threat to Indias security. Many legal and judicial steps have been taken to fight all
these threats but at the same time threats are changing their faces with the time. Thus, the
concept of the Internal Security, threats and laws related to thereto are in immediate need to
be addressed.
