The Big Picture - Al Qaeda Vs IS: Can it

pose a threat to India?

For years the Al-qaeda has operated in many parts of the world with its biggest strike in America
I
among others in the last decade.
Meanwhile the breakaway group of Al-qaeda -the Islamic state- has been indulging in deadly
I
activities in Iraq and Syria. It has challenged its parent organization.
The recently released video by al-qaeda has shown that it is planning to launch attacks on India
I
and some of its neighbours.
In India terrorism has been mainly dominated by lashkar e taiba and its various avatars.
I
IS has started attracting some Indian youth.
I
Real threat is the money which is attracting the youth.
I
India has to have its own investigation system dedicated to investigate Islamic States roots in
I
India.
What IS has done in the recent past is said to be the creation of mobile anarchy.
I
The terrorist organizations have been splitting up due to differences in ideologies.
I
The IS does not seem to be a western creation.
I
New modules are sprouting up to recruit new people.
I
Communal disturbances and alienation in India have been attracting Terrorist organization to
I
recruit people from India.
The funding sources for Terrorist organizations are also keeping an eye on the marginalized
I
sections of India.
Marginalization and lack of inclusiveness in economic and political processes are the reasons for
I
indulging and participating in such activities.
Studies conducted by some security agencies have shown that radicalization in India is on the rise.
I
Minority representation in the Indian Parliament is very less.
I
There are home grown terror activities in India and these internal issues need to be tackled
I
immediately. And this can prevent external forces from coming to India.
Because of unemployment, poverty and ideologies, the youth is being attracted.
I
The funding to the terrorist organization should be cut.
I
Along with the measures to counter terrorism, several other things have to be looked upon to
I
ensure that Indians dont get attracted to these terrorist outfits.
