Birbradhra jyu, :-) Here is the definition of terrorist adj : characteristic of someone who employs terrorism (especially as a political weapon); "terrorist activity"; "terrorist state" n : a radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities. If you use this definition which is from dictionary.com maobadi are doing all of the above. The only minor difference is some of the terrorist groups use their belief infavour of their religion (thats what they believe) and maobadis use their belief against religion. The point is they both use their "belief" for terror activities.
