摘要：The threats to Indian security have intensified with the rise of Taliban. We have faced attacks for decades from Jaish-e-Muhamad or Lashkar-e-Toiba and other Pak inspired jihadists. Now the new threat lends another dimension and urgency. The number of Jihadi groups has proliferated but when Kashmir and India are the target, all converge with alacrity. As early as February 1999 when Pakistan was planning the Kargil incursion, President Rabbani of Taliban-ruled Afghanistan (with Mullah Omar supporting), was asked to provide 20-30,000 volunteers for Kashmiri jihad. He startled the Pakistanis by offering 500,0001. This may be classic Afghan hyperbole or Pakistani boastfulness but the anti-India bias and the magnitude of the threat are revealing.
