Advance Praise for Indian Mujahideen: Computational Analysis and Public Policy “This book presents a highly innovative computational approach to analyzing the strategic behavior of terrorist groups and formulating counter-terrorism policies. It would be very useful for international security analysts and policymakers.” Uzi Arad, National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister of Israel and Head, Israel National Security Council (2009-2011) “An important book on a complex security problem. Issues have been analysed in depth based on quality research. Insightful and well-balanced in describing the way forward.” Naresh Chandra, Indian Ambassador to the USA (1996-2001) and Cabinet Secretary (1990-1992). “An objective and clinical account of the origins, aims, extra-territorial links and modus-operandi, of a growingly dangerous terrorist organization that challenges the federal, democratic, secular and pluralistic ethos of India’s polity. The authors have meticulously researched and analysed the multi-faceted challenges that the “Indian Mujahideen” poses and realistically dwelt on the ways in which these challenges could be faced and overcome.” G. Parthasarathy, High Commissioner of India to Australia (1995-1998) and Pakistan (1998-2000). This book provides the first in-depth look at how advanced mathematics and modern computing technology can influence insights on analysis and policies directed at the Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorist group. The book also summarizes how the IM group is committed to the destabilization of India by leveraging links with other terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, and through support from the Pakistani Government and Pakistan’s intelligence service. Foreword by The Hon. Louis J. Freeh.

Recent acts of terror have exploded the myth that Indian youth is insulated from the global terrorism phenomenon and had little time for extremism. The communal riots post the 1992 incident, the rise of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and the mutation of a section of aspiring Muslim youth into terrorists with the help of forces across the border. The story of home-grown jihadists would have been skewed had it not been for the testimonies of David Coleman Headley and Sarfaraz Nawaz on the involvement of the Pakistan Inter-Services Intelligence, top Lashkar-e-Taiba leadership, the Al Qaida and the Karachi project, whose demon child the Indian Mujahideen is. This book is the first-ever attempt to link up jihadists all over India and trace their linkages with terrorists based in countries like Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

India was divded because of the obduracy of Jinnah, and in August 1947 India was partitioned and a separate country Pakistan came into existence. The demand for creation of a separate Islamic country for Muslims by dividing India was being raised since 1940. Babasaheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar believed that the partition of India into two countries on religious lines was not practically possible, and such a partition would be more harmful for humanity than the Nation, and lead to large-scale violence, which actually happened. Dr. Ambedkar believed that Hindus and Sikhs in the newly-created nation of Pakistan should come to India, and Muslims in India should go to Pakistan, an Islamic country created on religious lines. Despite so many years have passed, some terrorist organisations (state actors) such as Indian Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, Jaish-e-Muhammed, Hizbul Mujahideen etc. have continu- ously waged a war against India and have gone forward to destabilise and disturb our socio-economic situations. This book takes an in-depth look at the heinous misdeeds of the 'Indian Mujahideen', the masterminds of Islamic terrorism, who created an army of Islamic Jihadis whose brutal and bestial acts have put humanity to shame. These heretics have worked to bring the world to its knees by creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation by making videos of their heinous inhuman acts of torture and broadcast- ing them across the world. A well-researched readable book exposing the activities, mechanisms, working style and dangerous intentions of the terrorist organisation 'Indian Mujahideen', which has become synonymous with terror.

Following India’s general election in May 2009, this book undertakes a critical evaluation of the performance of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA). It presents a thorough analysis of the UPA coalition government, and by providing an understanding of the new innovations in the UPA’s policies, the book goes on to evaluate the effectiveness of these policies against their aims and objectives. This book suggests that there is an analytical framework for assessing the political consequences of the policies and the UPA’s success, both at the national and state levels, with particular reference to new policies in governance, secularism and security. These three areas constitute important fault lines between the main national political parties in India, and provide an interesting point of departure to explore the new emerging trends, as well as the strong underlying continuities between the UPA administration and its predecessors. The book offers new insights into the structure of Indian politics, and is a useful contribution to studies in South Asian Politics, Governance and Political Parties.
