While the Islamic State in Iraq> and Syria (ISIS) continues to instill fear in people in Iraq, a National Investigation Agency dossier reveals that more than 300 Indian youth have been recruited by the ISIS and Pakistan based Tehreek-e-Taliban.

According to a report by Times Now, the dossier mentions that many youth are being recruited from Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra and are being trained in Pakistan, Syria and Iraq.

Report also suggest that the youth, who are recruited, may carry out massive attacks across the country.

However this is not the first time that Indians are being recruited by the ISIS. Few weeks back, when ISIS was carrying out attacks across Iraq, some Muslim youths were taken into custody from Tamil Nadu for wearing ISIS t-shirts, supporting the terror group.

More like 200 million, which is certainly bad enough.

The majority in India are Hindus, making them a target for ISIS.

I was making a sardonic comment about "convert or die"
