The Jihad Game lays bare how Pakistan’s army and ISI turned jihad into a weapon of statecraft and a way of waging permanent war against India. From the 1980s till today, from the blood-soaked alleys of Kashmir to the terror camps in Pakistan, this hard-hitting book exposes the networks of terror, money and manipulation that power Pakistan’s shadow war against India. It reveals how Pakistan’s military-intelligence complex built an ecosystem of militant groups, nurtured them over decades and continues to deploy them as instruments of chaos. Drawing on ground reports, first-hand interviews and sharp analysis, The Jihad Game uncovers the machinery that keeps the conflict alive and what India must do to break it.
This book is a chilling, clear-eyed account of Pakistan’s longest running covert operation and the battles India must be ready to fight.
