Udaipur Murder Case: After the barbaric massacre in Udaipur, once again the discussions of the growing network of ISIS in India have gained momentum. If we look at the figures, the influence of the terrorist organization Islamic State has increased in India. The population of Muslims in the country is about 170 million or more than 170 million. India is the country with the second largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia. It becomes necessary to mention the Muslim population here because ISIS has always been targeting Muslim youth to spread terror and religious hatred. After the recent events, it would not be wrong to say that India is always on the radar of jihadi terrorist organizations and its threat has now increased manifold.India has always been the target of ISISIndia has always been a prime target of ISIS and Al Qaeda. Violent clashes often come to the fore between Hindus and Muslims in the country. These terrorist organizations take advantage of these violent clashes and try their best to spread hatred. It has always been seen that terrorist organizations have been targeting India for jihadi radicalization and recruitment of terrorists.India included in this list of Islamic StateIndia is already included in 19 regions in the list of Islamic State bases. The Islamic State has already continued to form alliances with anti-India terrorist groups to strengthen against India, due to which the threat of ISIS has increased in the country. ISIS has vowed to turn India into Khorasan state and Khorasan map has also been published. The Islamic State's Khorasan province covers Afghanistan, Pakistan, parts of India, and other surrounding countries.What is Khorasan?The announcement of the expansion of Khorasan province by ISIS comes four months after Al Qaeda announced the expansion of the Terror Branch in India. According to experts, Khorasan has been kept in the category of such an area where people are always ready to take up arms.The growing influence of ISIS in India?One of the proofs of the growing influence of ISIS in India is that last year this terrorist organization published recruitment material in Hindi, Urdu, Tamil and other languages spoken in India as soon as it entered Iraq. Then there were reports of at least four Indians going to Iraq to join ISIS. The officials had also issued an alert to the security agencies regarding this. Meanwhile, signs of the influence of Islamic State have been seen in Kashmir as well. Recently, there have been some cases of young Muslims being radicalized in India.ISIS Threats to IndiaIn early 2020, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) published an India-focused propaganda material called Voice of Hind. Terrorist organization Islamic State had threatened to kill Hindus who insult Muslim women over the Hijab controversy in Karnataka. The terrorist organization had said in the March edition of 'Voice of Hind' that every cowardly Hindu who keeps an eye on the honor of our sisters will be mercilessly cut into pieces. In recent months, there have been several reports of Indian Muslims being arrested and deported from the Middle East.
