Islamisation of north-east is now a real threat…
A few days ago, I came across this very worrying article, “ISI fomenting trouble in India’s north-east” that corroborated the fear I had for a very long time of ISI coordinating its anti-national activities across India.
First some excerpts:
“…Pakistan’s Inter Service Intelligence is working with Bangladesh’s intelligence agencies to facilitate cooperation between north-east militant groups like United Liberation Front of Asom and other jihadi outfits in South Asian regions, besides Tamil rebels in Lanka, US intelligence service Startfor has said.
…In its latest forecast titled ‘India: The Islamisation of the Northeast’, it observes that there is a growing Islamisation in the region — spurred by ISI, and instability in neighbouring Bangladesh…Stratfor says there exists a strong nexus between ISI and Bangladesh’s intelligence agencies.
…There are growing indications…that these two agencies are working clandestinely in Bangladesh to bring all the north-east-based insurgent outfits and jihadi elements under one umbrella.
…ULFA’s adoption of suicide bombing, Stratfor says, looks to be the result of the group’s increased Islamisation caused by collusion with Islamist outfits in the region.
The bomber in the April 9 suicide attack was Ainul Ali, a Muslim…(although) …ULFA did not have many Muslim cadres in its fold in the past…the increasing flow of Bangladeshi refugees across the border has given the group more — and more capable — members willing to sacrifice their lives for the group’s cause with nudging from the ISI…”
The Stratfor report is titled “India: The Islamization of the Northeast” and was published on 20th April 2007.
This article reminded me to update an essay I wrote almost two and half years ago titled “Arc of Islam” that threatens our strategic environment (pl. see the second article in the link).

The only answer is tit for tat
