The number of militants in Jammu and Kashmir has drastically decreased from around 6,800 in 1996 to just one active local terrorist today. This change reflects effective counter-terrorism efforts and a growing rejection of violence among locals, especially youth. After a resurgence post-2016, militant numbers have sharply declined, marking a significant shift in the region's security landscape.
