Terrorism Finance: Sources and Trends in India
Terrorism finance (TF) has been termed as the life blood of terrorism, one of the most important factors sustaining its continuing threat, both from within and without. In the West, a large body of work on the subject appeared after 9/11; in the Indian context, however, there is little contribution towards existing literature. This article contextualizes the reality of terrorism finance in India and provides an alternative framework for a better understanding of this threat. It analyses both the external and internal sources of terror finance and emerging trends in the country in order to provide a better understanding of the nature of threat, as a prelude to countering it at the policy formulation level. It also reinforces the findings through a case study of the United National Liberation Front, a terrorist group in North-East India.
