Description
Shipra Publications Cross-Border Terrorism by Jayanta Kumar Ray
This book traces the emergence of Pakistan as a fountainhead of international terrorrism, another name for worldwide jihad. There were at least two major foundations of the jihadi mindset of Pakistani leaders. One was Wahabism/Salafism, journeying from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan--along with abundant money. The other major foundation of the jihadi mindset was the way the campaign for Partition of British India was conducted by the future leaders of Pakistan. This hatred could easily metamorphose after Partition into a jihad not only against resident Hindus (or Christians) after the birth of Pakistan, but also against other Pakistanis: East Pakistanis (who seceded to form the independent state of Bangladesh in 1971); Ahmadis and Shias inside Pakistan, who have been the targets of jihad by the dominant sect of Sunni Muslims.
