Interview With Shiv Shankar Menon

"Terrorism is not the kind of strategic threat that is in the public mind and in the media. If you look at deaths from terrorism, they have come down steadily," said Shiv Shankar Menon.

If you look at deaths from terrorism, they have come down steadily. But if you look at where is the violence in our society and so on, it is from communal violence, polarisation – that has actually gone up. Since 2012, it has been going up. That for me is a real risk because that leads to other things. It leads to radicalisation, communities being alienated and so on. And social violence. To know more about the story watch out the video.
