Impact of Terrorism on Khem Karan Town (Majha Region) of Punjab (1980-1993)

Abstract

This paper attempts to examine terrorism in the Punjabi town of Khem Karan. During the 1980s and 1990s, the state's predicament was explored in this paper. It looks at how terrorism has stigmatized large sections of the population. The paper's primary goal is to examine society's struggle during the time of terrorism (1980- 1993). Punjab is a well-developed state in India's northwest. Punjab is the country's personal bodyguard. To keep their nation safe, the people of Punjab have had to go to war with foreign powers. Punjab has developed into a major food producer for the entire country. During the green revolution of 1966-67, Punjab's wealth rose steadily. However, the dark days of Punjabi history followed that period. Some in Punjab are seeking to turn the Punjabi Suba morcha into Khalistan by launching terrorist attacks. As a result, districts like Tarn Taran, Amritsar, and Gurdaspur have felt the effects (Majha region). Despite this, border regions have suffered greatly, with many citizens unable to receive a quality education, and the economy, social welfare, and financial well-being of the region have all been harmed. They didn't stop when the dark days were gone, however.
