Book smashes "Islamic terrorism" myth in India
A book by a very senior retired police officer, who knows the system inside out, says it all in black and white: who started terrorism in India, who created and sustains the terrorism libel against the Indian Muslims, how investigations are manipulated by agencies which not only play blind to the Hindutva terror but even encourage it, how innocents are picked up with no proof and how evidence is cooked up to implicate them in crimes they never committed, only to keep the myth of "Islamic terrorism" alive, how the Hindutvites with the help of their supporters in the system used the 26-11 Mumbai terrorist attack to kill ATS chief Hemant Karkare in a side operation? This and many other questions nagging the country in general and the Muslim community in particular will be answered by this first of its kind book on the phenomenon of "Islamic terrorism, rather terrorism against the Muslim community in India.

Pharos Media is pleased to inform about our new book “Who Killed Karkare? — The real face of terrorism in India” written by a former senior police officer. For the first time, it probes deep into the "Islamic terrorism" in India. Of particular interest is the book's detailed study of the 26/11 attack on Mumbai during which Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare was killed.

From the back cover of the book: Political violence, or terrorism, by State as well as by non- State actors has a long history in India. The allegation that sections of and individual Indian Muslims indulged in “terrorism” surfaced for the first time with the ascent of the Hindutva forces in mid-1990s and became state policy with the BJP’s coming to power at the Centre. With even “secular” media joining the role as stenographers of security agencies, this became an accepted fact so much so that common Indians and even many Muslims started believing in this false propaganda.

This book, by a former senior police officer, with a distinguished career that included unearthing the Telgi scam, peeps behind the propaganda screen, using material mostly in the public domain as well as his long police experience. It comes out with some startling facts and analysis, the first of its kind, to expose the real actors behind the so-called “Islamic terrorism” in India whose greatest feat was to murder the Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare who dared to expose these forces and paid with his life for his courage and commitment to truth. While unearthing the conspiracy behind the murder of Karkare, this book takes a hard look at some of the major incidents attributed to “Islamic terrorism” in India and finds them baseless.
