🌍 Parichay (Introduction)
7 July 2005—London ki subah ek khushi ka pal lekar aayi thi, kyunki ek din pehle hi UK ne 2012 Summer Olympics host karne ka honor jeeta tha. Lekin kuch hi ghanton baad, dilli ki subah si energy ko terrorist bombings ne tod diya.
London Underground aur ek double-decker bus par suicide bombers ne attack kiya, jisme 52 logon ki jaan gayi aur kai hazaar ghayal hue.
Yeh ghatna ne global terrorism ke khilaf unity ko aur zyada mazboot kiya. Saath hi, extradition treaties aur policies pe focus badha, taaki terror accused ko safe havens me bhaagne se roka ja sake aur unhe kanooni karwai ke liye wapas laaya ja sake.

- Original sense: kisi vyakti ko ek authority se doosri authority ko handover karna
- 19th century ke legal documents me yeh term formally use hona shuru hua, jab inter-governmental treaties banne lage

Extradition vs. Deportation:
- Extradition: Legal process jisme criminal suspect ko doosre desh me trial ke liye bheja jata hai
- Deportation: Administrative action jisme kisi non-citizen ko unka visa breach hone par nikaala jata hai
- Extradition vs. Rendition: Rendition me suspect ka covert transfer hota hai, extradition legally governed hota hai

💡 Kya Aapko Pata Hai? (Did You Know?)
🎓 Antim Vichar (Conclusion)
Extradition ek legal mechanism hai, lekin iske peeche ki kahani trust, diplomacy aur insaaf ki hoti hai. 7 July 2005 ne duniya ko dikhaya ki terrorism sirf ek security threat nahi, ek legal challenge bhi hai—jiska jawab global collaboration se hi possible hai.
Aaj ke era me, jab crimes cross-border ho chuke hain, extradition ek moral and procedural necessity ban chuka hai—taaki har vyakti, chahe jahan bhi ho, justice se na bach sake.
