Swami<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv71317225article-block\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Each bombing the Indian Mujahideen carries out is a medium for a political message enmeshed with India\u2019s dystopic communal landscape: that democratic politics cannot defend India\u2019s Muslims<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cYou who have ruled India for eight hundred years, you who lit the flame of the one true God in the darkness of polytheism: how can you remain in your slumber when the Muslims of the world are awakening?\u201d the al-Qaeda ideologue Asim Umar asked India\u2019s Muslims last summer. \u201cIf the youth of the Muslim world have joined the battlefields with the slogan \u2018Shari\u2019a or Martyrdom,\u2019 and put their lives at stake to establish the Caliphate, how can you lag behind them? Why is there no storm in your ocean,\u201d Mr. Umar demanded to know.<\/p>\n<p>Last week\u2019s arrests of key Indian Mujahideen operatives have led to speculation that India\u2019s most feared terror group \u2014 responsible for savage serial bombings in major cities, including the 2006 attacks on Mumbai\u2019s suburban train system \u2014 may be disintegrating. Tehseen Akhtar, its key recruiter, is now in prison; so is Muhammad Zarar Siddibapa, its operation chief.<\/p>\n<p>For investigators though, these breakthroughs have brought forth disturbing new evidence that Mr. Umar, and other propagandists like him, are succeeding in calling a new army into being \u2014 an army born in Indian towns and cities scarred by communal warfare and hardened in the battlefields of Pakistan\u2019s north-west.<\/p>\n<p>The dusk that shrouds the Indian Mujahideen heralds, the evidence suggests, the coming of its second sunrise.<\/p>\n<p><b>The new\u00a0<i>jihadis<\/i><\/b>Karachi residents Muhammad Fahim and Muhammad Abdul Walid, held by the Uttar Pradesh police last week, told investigators that they had first been recruited by the Lashkar-e-Taiba, and then broke with it to make their way to a Taliban training camp in Afghanistan\u2019s southern Helmand district. Then, they were led by the fugitive Pune\u00a0<i>jihadist<\/i>, Mohin Chaudhury to the Indian Mujahideen\u2019s Karachi-based chief, Riyaz Shahbandri. Faisalabad-based bombmaker Zia-ur-Rahman, Mr. Akhtar\u2019s recently arrested deputy, served with Taliban groups in Pakistan\u2019s Punjab before volunteering to serve with the Indian Mujahideen fighting across the border.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, new\u00a0<i>jihadist<\/i>\u00a0cells have sprung up within India. The recruits include young people, their minds fired by Internet Islamism, as well as veterans once linked to the proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Fugitive Ranchi resident Haider Ali, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) says, raised volunteers from both these groups for the bombing of the revered Buddhist shrine at Bodh Gaya last year, as an act of vengeance for communal violence against Myanmar\u2019s Rohingya Muslim minority.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ali\u2019s cell, only loosely connected through him to the Indian Mujahideen, followed up that attack with an attempt to assassinate Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi at a rally in Patna, surprising the organisation\u2019s leadership in Karachi.<\/p>\n<p>In Tamil Nadu, volunteers at a Chennai college even signed up to serve with\u00a0<i>jihadists\u00a0<\/i>in Syria \u2014 recruited by local Islamists, and financed by a Singapore-based executive.<\/p>\n<p>Key commanders of the Indian Mujahideen, meanwhile, remain active in Karachi, most important of them being Riyaz Shahbandri, his brother Iqbal Shahbandri and Abdul Subhan Qureshi. There are a host of second-rung leaders still at large, like Mirza Shadab Beg, Shahnawaz Alam, Muhammad \u201cBada\u201d Sajid, Alamzeb Afridi, Zulfikar Fayyaz \u201cKagazi,\u201d Rahil Sheikh and Ariz Khan. The man who financed them all, ganglord Amir Raza Khan, is also at large.<\/p>\n<p><b>The western storm<\/b>From Internet chats between Mr. Shahbandri and Mr. Siddibapa, recovered by the NIA, we know that several of those men have sought combat training with\u00a0<i>jihadists<\/i>\u00a0in Pakistan\u2019s north-west, and in Afghanistan, developing skills the Indian Mujahideen\u2019s cadre never had.<\/p>\n<p>It has long been evident that the gathering storm of violent Islamism in Pakistan would lash India, too. In 2010, al-Qaeda released a posthumous audio message from Egyptian\u00a0<i>jihadi<\/i>\u00a0Said al-Masri, claiming responsibility for the bombing of the German Bakery in Pune. \u201cThe person who carried out this operation was a heroic soldier from the Soldiers of the Sacrifice Brigade, which is one of the brigades of Qaedat al-Jihad [the al-Qaeda\u2019s formal name] in Kashmir, under the command of Commander Illyas Kashmiri, may Allah preserve him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. al-Masri\u2019s message was wrong on several details of the operation, but for investigators, news that elements of al-Qaeda had developed links with\u00a0<i>jihadi<\/i>\u00a0groups acting against India did not surprise anyone.<\/p>\n<p>David Headley, the Pakistani-American Lashkar operative now serving a life term for his role in the 26\/11 attacks, had told the NIA of an anti-India \u201cKarachi project\u201d linked to global\u00a0<i>jihadi\u00a0<\/i>groups.<\/p>\n<p><b>Driven by communal events<\/b>Following Pakistani military ruler General Pervez Musharraf\u2019s 2007 siege of jihadists holed up inside Islamabad\u2019s Lal Masjid, Mr. Headley told the NIA, that an ideological war broke out among Pakistan\u2019s\u00a0<i>jihadis<\/i>. In spite of efforts by Pakistan\u2019s Inter-Services Intelligence, he said, the \u201caggression and commitment shown to\u00a0<i>jihad\u00a0<\/i>by the several splinter groups influenced many committed fighters to leave Kashmir-centric outfits and join the Taliban.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In turn, al-Qaeda became increasingly interested in India, as a means of competing for influence and legitimacy with traditional\u00a0<i>jihadi\u00a0<\/i>groups like the Lashkar, which were supportive of the Pakistani state. In the wake of 26\/11, al-Masri himself released a statement warning India of attacks if it struck against Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>The renewal of a\u00a0<i>jihadist\u00a0<\/i>constituency within India shouldn\u2019t be a surprise: the rise of Mr. Modi, and the Hindu nationalist tendencies he represents, has unleashed existential anxieties among large numbers of Indian Muslims. Though the numbers of jihadi recruits are minuscule, the members of the new cells are also true to a familiar pattern. The earliest Indian\u00a0<i>jihadist\u00a0<\/i>formation, the Tanzim Islahul Muslimeen, was formed to protect Muslims against communal violence, and carried out its first strike, the 1993 bombings of inter-city express trains, to avenge the demolition of the Babri Masjid.<\/p>\n<p>In interrogations, Indian\u00a0<i>jihad\u00a0<\/i>volunteers have repeatedly said they acted to avenge the Gujarat carnage of 2002. Feroze Ghaswala told police he had volunteered to join\u00a0<i>jihad\u00a0<\/i>training after witnessing the mass burial of 40 Gujarat riot victims. Peedical Abdul Shibly and Yahya Kamakutty, both successful computer professionals, are alleged to have prepared to carry out attacks in Bangalore. Men from Kerala trained in the mountains of Jammu and Kashmir with the Lashkar-e-Taiba. Zabiuddin Ansari, from Maharashtra, famously ended up in the 26\/11 control room.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in April 1977, SIMI, the fountainhead of the modern Indian\u00a0<i>jihadist<\/i>\u00a0movement, was itself driven by the forces of communal violence. From the outset, scholar Yoginder Sikand has said \u201cthat Islam alone was the solution to the problems of not just the Muslims of India, but of all Indians and, indeed, of the whole world.\u201d It drew thousands disillusioned with traditional politics, Dr. Sikand has recorded, providing supporters \u201ca sense of power and agency which they were denied in their actual lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From December 1992, following the demolition of the Babri Masjid, SIMI\u2019s language became increasingly aggressive. In a statement in 1996, it declared that since democracy and secularism had failed to protect Muslims, the sole option was to struggle for the caliphate. Soon after, it put up posters calling on Muslims to follow the path of Mahmood Ghaznavi, the 11th century warlord. In 2001, after the 9\/11 attacks, SIMI activists organised demonstrations hailing Osama bin-Laden as a \u201ctrue mujahid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Early in the summer of 2004, a group of young men fed up with SIMI\u2019s inability to act on its own talk gathered in the small coastal town of Bhatkal in Mangalore \u2014 and founded what we now call the Indian Mujahideen.<\/p>\n<p><b>The\u00a0<i>jihadi\u00a0<\/i>tradition<\/b>To understand the durability of the\u00a0<i>jihad\u00a0<\/i>within India, it is important to remember that its cadre are inheritors of a long political tradition. In a manifesto sent to the media after their September 2008 bombings in New Delhi, the group said the attacks were carried out \u201cin the memory of two most eminent Mujahids of India: Sayyed Ahmed Shaheed and Shah Ismail Shaheed (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon them) who had raised the glorious banner of Jihad against the disbelievers.\u201d The historian Ayesha Jalal has shown that the notion of\u00a0<i>jihad\u00a0<\/i>was an important theme in both pre-colonial and colonial India. Syed Ahmad and Shah Ismail were killed battling Sikh troops in a failed\u00a0<i>jihad\u00a0<\/i>involving the tribes of Pakistan\u2019s north-west.<\/p>\n<p>Historian Stephen Dale has observed that these ideas stretched to the south of India, noting the work of the Sixteenth Century author, Zayn al-Din al-Ma\u2019bari, who chronicled the\u00a0<i>jihad\u00a0<\/i>against Portugal\u2019s intrusions into the Indian Ocean, hoping to \u201cinspire the Faithful to undertake a\u00a0<i>jihad\u00a0<\/i>against the worshippers of the cross.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each bombing the Indian Mujahideen carries out is a medium for a political message enmeshed with India\u2019s dystopic communal landscape: that democratic politics cannot defend India\u2019s Muslims. India\u2019s intelligence and police services deserve credit for the long war they have fought, but it is time for politicians to act to heal our fractured nation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0907\u0902\u0921\u093f\u092f\u0928 \u092e\u0941\u091c\u093e\u0939\u093f\u0926\u0940\u0928 \u0915\u093e \u090f\u0915 \u090f\u0915 \u092c\u092e \u0935\u093f\u0938\u094d\u092b\u094b\u091f \u090f\u0915 \u0930\u093e\u091c\u0928\u093f\u0924\u093f\u0915 \u0938\u0928\u094d\u0926\u0947\u0936 \u0926\u0947\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u093e \u092a\u094d\u0930\u092f\u093e\u0938 \u0939\u0948 \u0915\u0940&#8230; <a class=\"meta-more\" href=\"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/?p=4810\">more <span class=\"meta-nav\">&raquo;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4811,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-2","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4810"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4810\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4812,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4810\/revisions\/4812"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotsforumindia.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
