India suffering from lack of Muslim intelligence officers in its war against terror

You can never win a war without deep field intelligence. India made a big blunder when ten years back it decided not to recruit addition Muslim intelligence officers.

From the Research & Analysis Wing (R&AW), India’s external intelligence agency, to the domestic Intelligence Bureau, down to the neighbourhood police stations, Muslims form a fraction of the forces. Even the elite Indian Police Service has only four per cent Muslims, according to the government-appointed Sachar Committee.

The disconnect has now created a huge blank wall between police and information from Muslim neighborhoods that is crippling the nation’s fight against terrorism. Local police are even unable to read radical Urdu pamphlets from religious zealots.
