On 15 August every year, Popular Front of India cadres in uniforms resembling paramilitary organisations stage coordinated marches in cities across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. The Rohingya crisis, the Patthalgadi movement in Jharkhand, the proposed Khalistan Referendum, and the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka look, at first, like unrelated events driven by different actors. Binay Kumar Singh's argument is that they are not.
Through six case studies drawn from recent Indian history, Singh maps what he describes as a coordinated effort by four forces — Islamic fundamentalism, Christian evangelism, urban Naxalism, and the media-NGO-human rights nexus — to work in tandem against India's territorial and civilisational integrity. The book traces how finance, ideology, and organisation flow between these groups, arguing that their alignment constitutes a common minimum programme: to make India bleed. Endorsements from a former Director General of Police of Uttar Pradesh signal the book's intended audience among security and policy professionals.
For readers who follow India's internal security landscape and want a single analytical framework connecting these disparate incidents, Singh's case-study structure is the most direct way in.
"This book should be treated as an authority on post independent history of India. It could even be suggested as a monograph to be studied as part of curriculum in the Central universities," RVS Mani, Author, The Myth of Hindu Terror "The so-called elites and secularists are either blissfully unaware or choose to look the other way. This book clears all the elements of doubt that the enemy is at the gates and unless course corrections are ensured on war footing, we are quoting a recipe of disaster." Vikram Singh, Former Director General of Police, Uttar Pradesh "On 15 August every year, PFI cadres dressed in uniforms similar to paramilitary organisations stage a perfectly synchronised march in cities across Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The 15th August Parade is also a tactic for hiding their extremist ideology and an attempt to portray themselves as a good, nation loving and law abiding citizen group." "On the other hand, proselytisation of innocent tribals continued unabated under the sponsorship of the colonial regime." "It is a joint action plan and well-coordinated effort of all the four (Islamic fundamentalism, Christian evangelicals,Urban naxalism and media -NGO-human rights nexus) which forms the recipe that poses gravest threat, where one helps the other to achieve the Common Minimum Programme i.e. to bleed India" "These elements use finance coming to them in any form, to further their agenda....not bound by national boundaries..." The activities of the PFI, the Rohingyas, the Patthalgadi in Jharkhand, or the proposed Khalistan Referendum; or even the blasts in Sri Lanka may look like disparate events, fuelled and supported by different people for different reasons. But are they? With six case studies of events in our recent history, Author Binay Kumar Singh gives a unique perspective as to how forces inimical to India's growth and civilisational ethos work in tandem to inflict injury on her. Read the story of how Islamic fundamentalism, Christian evangelism, urban naxals and the media-NGO-human rights nexus have come together in what appears to be a common goal -to make India bleed. Are we paying heed?
