INTER SERVICE INTELLIGENCE [ISI]AND ITS ACTIVITIES IN INDIA
INTRODUCTION TO ISI: ISI is the premier intelligence agency of the ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN and is headed by a PAK ARMY general of rank LT.GNL and operates under the instructions of DG-ISI who is further commanded by the COAS of the PAKISTANI ARMY.
[without wasting much time in learning the HISTORY/FORMATION of ISI lets directly come to the topic]
Even a common man knows that PAKISTAN has spent a large amount of time under the MILITARY RULE.During this period the functioning of the state saw a drastic change and proved dangerous to its neighbours INDIA and AFGHANISTAN.
ISI had and still has a very crucial role to play in INDIA AND AFGHANISTAN's POLITICAL SPECTRUM . "ISI IN AFGHANISTAN" will be covered in a different blog and in this blog we will try to understand ISI in INDIA
ISI sees INDIA as its PRIMARY ENEMY and this can be understood and backed by understanding the structure of ISI. Not much of ISI's general information is out in public domain but with a little chunck of information which it has put out it is clear that ISI was raised keeping INDIA at its centre

in this way ISI and PAKISTANI ARMY along with its "TERROR BUDDIES" create a state of fear in INDIA .ISI's reach is not only limited to J&K but also in PUNJAB and NORTH-EAST INDIA and reports confirm that it also aims in setting up network and planting assets in MUSLIM MAJORITY AREAS in MAINLAND INDIA

Recent visuals from J&k confirms the fact that the presence of ISIS (ISLAMIC STATE of IRAQ & SYRIA) in jammu and kashmir is true. but ISI may not have direct links with ISIS because its is seen that ISI is particularly interested in PRO-PAKISTAN and ANTI-INDIAN MILITANT GROUPS. While ISIS's AGENDA is GLOBAL JIHAD.
