Islamist Recruitment: Intensifying Efforts
There is a visible increase in activity of militant outfits in South Asia - particularly India, Pakistan and Bangladesh - in their respective recruitment drives, especially using online communications. Previously, terrorist formations were using printed Jihadi literature, propaganda videos and face to face interactions with religious motivators to entice people to their cause.
