ISIS: Does it Pose a Real Threat to India?
On this week's episode of The Big Fight, we look at a group that shook the world with its acts of terror - the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria also known 'ISIS'. The extremely tech savvy terror group has made its plans for world domination very clear through various media channels, but how serious are these threats? Some might argue that it's a case of all show, no go. However, there are those who state that the sightings of ISIS flags in Kashmir have a different story to tell. The force which has been crowding our news feeds with videos of its gruesome executions, will be discussed by some of the finest thinkers in the field. We will also be joined by a family member of Areeb Majid, a young student who had travelled to Iraq to join the ISIS, but has since returned to India. We ask, does 'ISIS' pose a real threat to India? Does it deliberately target the young and the impressionable? What can India do to protect itself from this new threat?
