The Indian Mujahideen & The Wahhabi Threat

It is quite known that Pakistan moulds its military and national security strategy according to its mood regarding India. In my incessant quest to understand the Pakistani obsessive behaviour towards India, I received information introducing me to a terrorist group (the Indian Mujahideen [IM]) - operating within India - and to some other interesting facts.

"The stated goal of the IM is to 'liberate India' from the influence of Western materialistic culture and further its conversion into an Islamic society." - Rohit Singh in Understanding the Indian Mujahideen

[NB: the aim to purge a nation of the western influence is the same as Al-Qaeda's (and affiliates); Haqqani Network's; Jemaah Islamiyah's; Boko Haram's, Hamas' etc]

The Indian Mujahideen is an offshoot of the SIMI (founded on the 15th of April 1977 by Mohammed Ahmedullah Siddiqi) and, its creation served the purpose of Indianising the Jihad against India - through the IM, Pakistan is able to destabilise its neighbour, from within, whenever it suits the ISI and the military.
In order to carry out its plans, it was capital to train IM members in Pakistan; where 200 of its elements went to get training on how to assemble arms and explosives and to be indoctrinated into believing that they were victims of the Hindus and of the Indian State. After leaving Pakistan, they were "tasked by its masters to spread jihadi tendencies in India, through homegrown militants, aided, abetted and calibrated from across the borders" (idem).

The IM has carried out several terrorist attacks in India (see the list here) and it was involved in the Mumbai 2008 terror attack - having assisted the LeT (Lashkar-e-Tayyiba). While studying their involvement in such attack, the similitude between the IM's and AQ's MO (for instance) is sound: cell members visit the vicinity of their intended target in order to effect a survey prior to the (usually a celebratory) date of the attack; prepare intel, weapons, ammunitions and safe houses.

The Indian Mujahideen abide to Wahhabism (i.e. fundamentalist Islam; synonymous to Salafism). All the IM members have reportedly received education in madrasas (i.e. the Wahhabi Deobandi Schools) sponsored by Saudi Arabia - a Kingdom known for funding the spread of Wahhabism, not only in India but also, throughout the world.
Despite having the classification of "Indian" in their title, IM elements are not loyal to India but to Islam because they were taught that:

1. A Muslim’s first loyalty is to his religion and then to his country,
2. Muslims should recognise only the religious borders of the Ummah and not national borders,
3. A Muslim has a sacred right, and obligation, to go to any country to wage jihad to protect the Muslims of that nation.

If we come to think about it, the IM is no different than the AQ, the AQAP, the AQIM, the Al-Nusra, the Taliban, the LeT, the JeM, Hamas and other Radical Jihadist groups. All these subsidiaries share the same ultimate goal (the Establishment of a Global Caliphate) under the same sponsors and facilitators; who, interestingly enough, are the very same ones that the West has been cuddling for decades, despite the many reports written about them (see example).

We are used to view Iran as a terror State-Sponsor; however the time has come for the globe to view Saudi Arabia as such as well (the only difference is that the first doesn't constitute such a great political dilemma as the second does).

And when we think of these two countries, we have to think of India who buys oil from both of them (although it has sharply decreased its oil trade with Iran due to western-imposed sanctions); being, thus, in a conundrum: how do you tell a country, on whose oil you depend, that it is guilty of disrupting your home and of perilling the security of your citizens? On the other hand, how do you explain your citizens that in order to develop the country, you have to put their head on the block? India needs to speed up its energetic independence, as part of national security strategy as well.

So what would be the safest political route to help mitigating the problem? India, and others in her position, would have to start sending the appropriate messages to its immediate foes and perturbers - to show strength and might, lest they are perceived as impotent.
