Abstract
In August 2020, a lone wolf terrorist belonging to the Islamic State was arrested in New Delhi with explosives. The same month, a doctor was arrested with similar charges from Bangalore. Notwithstanding Government of India’s policy of downplaying the threat, the appeal of the global jihadist organisation is attracting India Muslims to its fold. These men are found to be in various stages of planning to carry out attacks or have been involved in facilitating the activities of the group. As a resurgent Islamic State carries out its terror attacks across in several theatres around the world, India is likely to witness an increase in jihadist mobilization in the coming months.
