Discussions about homegrown and self-radicalised terrorists are back on the table, and the Indian security agencies have once again a new headache to deal with.  There are many similarities between the Faridabad module and the ones that the Indian Mujahideen operated. Both these terror groups had only Indian Muslims in them and the operatives of both these outfits were educated, and many came from well-off families. Intelligence Bureau officials say that while both modules have many similarities, there is a slight difference in the manner in which Pakistan has handled them. The Indian Mujahideen was part of Pakistan’s ambitious Karachi Project. It was being handled entirely by Pakistani operatives. It was just a namesake homegrown terror outfit, which was entirely funded and handled by Pakistan. However, there is a marked difference in the Faridabad module. The module had a bunch of self-radicalised persons. They were educated and even raised their own …
