Should Naxalists be called "terrorists/Shontrashi"? Should our liberation war freedom fighters be called terrorists by Pakistanis as well? Any ideologists or revolutionists for that matter around the world should also be called a "terrorist"?

Navarene:

You bring up a good question. I consider everyone who uses terror or armed conflict a terrorist. This is not to pass judgement on the validity of their 'cause'. As you probably know, history is replete with instances where the use of the means of terror/conflict has justified the means.

As another poster has also noted: one man's terrorist is another man's freedom/resistance fighter. I'm sure Niazi thought the Mukti Bahini were terrorists, while to us, they are our beloved freedom fighters.
