Bharat's PRAHAAR Doctrine: A Proactive Shift Against Terrorism

• Bharat introduces its first National Counter-Terrorism Policy and Strategy, moving from reactive to proactive deterrence.
• The PRAHAAR doctrine is built on seven pillars: Prevention, Response, Aggregating, Human Rights, Attenuating conditions, Aligning international efforts, and Recovery/Resilience.
• The strategy targets terror modules, their support infrastructure (propaganda, funding), and aims to prevent weaponization of e-commerce and social media.
• It addresses the evolving nature of warfare, including Fifth Generation Warfare and the '0.5 front' in civil society, emphasizing a whole-of-society approach.
• The policy tackles homegrown terrorism, radicalization, and evolving terror funding mechanisms, including the use of e-commerce platforms.
