India, Jihadi Terrorism & Iraq
Institute For Topical Studies, Chennai, India
Supplied note: "The latest paper of the Institute For Topical Studies, A-2/3, Bharathi Dasan Colony, K.K.Nagar, Chennai---600078, India, on the above subject is now available at the web site of the South Asia Analysis Group (SAAG), New Delhi, at [the URL below] - br."
[Extract: "What is happening in Iraq is of tremendous importance from the medium and long-term point of view of India's counter-terrorism strategy [in Jammu and Kashmir]. The failure of the Soviet troops in Afghanistan to prevail over the jihadis and their withdrawal from there gave the jihadis a feeling that they have defeated one super power. Were the US troops to fail to prevail over the jihadis in Iraq and withdraw in humiliation from there, they would think that Islamic jihad has defeated the other super power too. With their morale and feelings of invincibility strengthened, they would start spreading out in different directions including India, thereby aggravating our national security problems." - b.raman]
