Cross-border Terrorism — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

Focus on memorizing specific dates, names of terrorist organizations, and legal provisions. Create timeline of major attacks with exact dates and casualties. Remember constitutional articles (355), acts (UAPA, NIA Act), and international conventions (SAARC Convention on Suppression of Terrorism).

Practice questions on FATF grey-listing, surgical strikes timeline, and terrorist organization profiles. Use elimination technique by identifying obviously wrong options first. Watch for traps mixing up attack dates, response operations, and legal provisions.

Current affairs integration is crucial - track recent developments in India-Pakistan relations, ceasefire violations, and international diplomatic initiatives.
