Poverty is all around the nation. Poverty is the reason for one's vulnerability to anti-social elements and activities, but it is not the reason for one actually becoming a terrorist. ISI and other militant organizations try to correlate the poverty of muslims to India's apathy towards them (conveniently sidelining the fact that poverty also affects hindus). The ones who do join this jihad movement could be buying into this false correlation. This is why we see militancy on the rise. Poor hindus are not becoming terrorists because there is no organization trying to brainwash or persuade them to do so. Certainly the blame falls on those who choose to take this wrong path, and their poverty has a lot to do with their decisions, but one cannot ignore this brainwashing tactic.
