This monograph is written by Prof. Alam, Senior Fellow with Policy Perspectives Foundation breaks a new ground by trying to understand the core elements of the process of radicalization in India. This will help us to anticipate the trajectory of radicalization and its extent in the coming years.

We, at the Policy Perspectives Foundation, felt the need for a better understanding of the process of radicalization amongst the Muslims in India. We felt the need to identify factors that infused Indian Islam or Islam in India with a greater resilience against the forces of radicalization and more importantly that of violent extremism. Such a study, we felt, might enable us to open the way for an informed strategy suitable to Indian environment and consolidate/strengthen its intrinsic quality.
