Here are snippets from the annual DGPs and IGPs conference discussion:

The challenges for the national security for the radicalization of the India Muslim youths by some radical organizations are:

High level of indoctrination. These organisations are engaged in radical interpretation of Islamic scriptures and concepts, They also create a sense of victimhood in Muslim psyche. In pursuit of puritanical Islam, they preaching go against modern values such as democracy and secularism. The PFI (Popular Front of India), was the most potent radical organisation. It evolved as a national-level organization since formation in 2006 by merging three South-Indian based outfits.

Further, the papers suggested, to a tackle radical organisations, multi pronged approach is required, including monitoring of covert activities, creation of detailed data basis on leaders and other entities of interest.

And quote: “Emphasis should be given to identify and monitoring the hotspots of radicalization and prior analysis must be done about the potentiality of a radical organization in spreading extremism involvement of its cadres in violent action and accordingly the plan of action should be initiated, the papers noted.
