With the globalisation there is increase in the interdependence intercommunication and inter commutation so disturbance any where is disturbance everywhere.When we enter into knowing about the meaning of terrorism the discussions about the meaning of terrorism are enduring in everyday language, government policy, news reporting, and international politics. Different words are used to describe the act of violences. The value judgments frequently implicit in the use of the words terrorist or terrorist group can create inconsistency in their use. For example, the bombing of a bus in London was carried out by terrorists, but the bombing of a bus in Israel was perpetrated by a suicide bomber. Or again, terrorists in London bombed a tube train, but insurgents in Iraq have assassinated the Egyptian ambassador. The use of the words can imply judgment where there is no clear consensus about the legitimacy of militant political groups. In this paper the language to describe, discuss and debate the violence will be discussed in the era of globalization.

From the years of independence these states have gone under political, economic and social transformations. Political transitions, the breakdown of interdependencies of the Soviet infrastructure, diverse pace of economic development, multi vector foreign policies has pushed each state towards different political, security and economic scenarios. But the insecurity in Afghanistan is jeopardizing the stability in Central Asia, which has not been resolved yet. The future of Central Asian States is in Asia and in Europe, both in the East and the West. During the early days of independence of the Central Asian States, the jubilation for nationalism and religious revivalism was so high that the central Asian states were forced to align with their Islamic neighboring countries like Afghanistan and Iran. An open door policy was followed with the hope that an extended neighborhood would stabilize their independence and will reduce their dependency on Russia. The terrorist bombings of the United States on September 11, 2001 fundamentally changed the geopolitics of the region, which became very important to US security interests. Both energy and international terrorism drew US physical presence in this region. The rise of Taliban and its coming to power in Kabul has radically distorted the security scenario in Central Asia.

While there have been joint efforts to save the Aral Sea, as well as a flood of internationally introduced technical projects, states in the region have spent most of the past two decades squabbling over the use of water. The region is muddling on with outdated allocation quotas from Soviet times, and the creation of new infrastructure projects like the Rogun Dam in Tajikistan has led to diplomatic saber rattling. During the Soviet period, central planning created a "cotton belt" in the lowlands of what is now Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, irrigated through a complex system of dams, pumps, and channels using water coming from mountains in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. However, the breakup of the Soviet Union left the emerging republics of Central Asia without a regional water management strategy.The two major regional rivers of Amu Darya and the Syr Darya disch...
