What is Masood Azhar’s MASTERPLAN against India? | Jist

Host Mukul Singh Chauhan sits down with Dr. Abhinav Pandya, author of *Inside the Terrifying World of Jaish-e-Mohammed*, for a deep dive into one of India’s most dangerous terrorist organisations — Jaish-e-Mohammed — and its key figure, Masood Azhar. The conversation explores the rise of the group, its radical ideology, jihad‑driven recruitment and funding strategies, and its use of women in militant roles, including as suicide bombers. Dr. Pandya also discusses how Jaish uses public rallies in Pakistan‑occupied Kashmir and Karachi to spread propaganda and raise support. This discussion has gained renewed relevance in light of recent developments, where multiple members of Masood Azhar’s family were reportedly killed in India’s Operation Sindoor. The strike has dealt a significant blow to the Jaish‑e‑Mohammed leadership and underscores the importance of understanding the roots and structure of such groups.
