Analysis: The Mumbai Blasts and the Indian Mujahideen
14 Jul 2011 by Shashank JoshiThe three bombs that tore through Mumbai add to the city's death toll from terrorism - 700 killed since 1993. If the Indian Mujahideen (IM) is responsible, it indicates the grave threat posed by domestic Indian groups plugged into international jihadi network.

2 Mar 2010 The bomb attack in Pune on 14 February, claimed by a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) splinter group, has once again brought the spectre of jihadist terrorism within India into focus.

Analysis: Explaining Miliband’s ‘Kashmir Gaffe’
9 Feb 2009 A comment made by David Miliband on Kashmir caused outrage in India after he inadvertently breached the fiercely defended separation between the Kashmir question and the problem of terrorism in Pakistan.

Analysis: Beyond Mumbai: Prospects for Indo-Pakistani relations
11 Jan 2009 The Indian government has defied its own hawks by seeking to work with the Pakistanis and pursue the attackers of Mumbai.

Analysis: Enhancing Indian Counter-Terror efforts after Mumbai
4 Dec 2008 by Avnish PatelIndia’s internal security reforms have not matched the pace of the liberalisation of its economy.
