Body · points
External actors
(1) State actors → hostile neighbours around India with legacy of war. → Terrorist organisations from Pakistan like JuD, Al-Qaeda etc got state's (Pakistan) backing - funds, Arms supply → Maoists in India supported by China. → Cyber attacks on critical installations.
(2) Non-state actors :- They too play important role in disturbing India's peace. (i) Civil society Organisations = psychological wars by them by controlling the minds. → external agenda to disturb economic growth by halting the projects (IB report → 8% GDP impacted). → funding sources very shadow; boost illegal activities.
