ABSTRACT
India is hardly an exception to the growing worldwide worry over narco- terrorism. It symbolises the merging of terrorism with drug trafficking, when terror groups and drug cartels work together to finance and support violent acts that upend societies.1 The relationship between drug trafficking and terrorism in India is a serious threat to national security since it fuels internal conflict, bloodshed, and the breakdown of social order. The Northeastern states, Jammu & Kashmir, and even some areas of Punjab have been especially affected by this problem. The intricate connection between drugs, organised crime, and terrorism has made it difficult for national security organisations and law enforcement to uphold peace and security. The threat of narco-terrorism to India's internal security is examined critically in this article, along with its effects, the major actors engaged, and the difficulties in thwarting this expanding threat.
Keywords: Drug Trafficking, Terrorism, National Security, Golden Crescent.
