A detailed study of the Indian Mujahideen, based on a clinical analysis of curated data, is beginning to pay dividends in understanding when the outfit will launch attacks and who its targets will be.

The reality so far in global geopolitics is ‘once a contested land, always a contested land’. The best example has been Jammu & Kashmir (J&K). Over 65 years have passed since the first batch of Pakistani intruders, with the help of army regulars, came face to face with the Indian army, and the violence continues unabated in the J&K. Since then, India and Pakistan have fought at least three major wars and as many skirmishes, with intermittent, mostly half-hearted and ineffective bilateral peace overtures from both sides.

For some time now, Buddhist nationalist groups in Myanmar have opposed Muslim businesses and social practices, creating a sense of mistrust and antagonism between the two communities that frequently erupts in violence.
