The Indian Embassy in Seoul on March 24 opened a two-day digital exhibition on the “human cost of terrorism,” highlighting its global impact and the need for international cooperation.
Hosted by the Embassy of India in association with the Korea Democracy Foundation, the exhibition is being held at the National Museum of Korean Democracy from March 24-25 and is open to the public.
The exhibition was inaugurated by Lee Jae-oh, president of the Korea Democracy Foundation; Gourangalal Das, India’s ambassador to South Korea; and National Assembly member Kim Jae-won.
Featuring images, videos and testimonies, “Human Cost of Terrorism” documents the effects of terrorist acts across continents and highlights the need for stronger international cooperation to address the threat.

Speaking at the opening, Lee emphasized the significance of the venue and the importance of collective memory. “What was once a place where freedom and human rights were denied has now become a space that reminds us of the value of democracy and the dignity of human rights,” he said. “It is therefore especially meaningful that this exhibition is held in such a place.”
He added that democracy requires continued vigilance. “Democracy is never given; it is a value that has been protected through countless sacrifices and solidarity,” Lee said. “We must remember these tragedies and work together to ensure that they are never repeated.”
Das highlighted shared democratic values between India and South Korea under their “Special Strategic Partnership” and called for a unified global response. “Terrorism anywhere is a threat to peace everywhere … No nation can tackle terrorism alone,” he said. “Our response must be coordinated, resolute and global.”
He also noted that democracies are often primary targets. “These are the first places where the forces of terror seek to strike to undermine stability, erode civil liberties, foster fear, polarize societies and discredit democratic governments,” Das said. “Terrorism tries to kill values, not just innocents.”
Kim underscored the role of cultural cooperation. “Culture is the backbone of such humanitarian values,” she said, expressing hope for continued collaboration between the two countries.
The exhibition drew attendees from diverse backgrounds and aims to promote resilience, peace and international cooperation.
