In November, I asked if ISIS was establishing itself in South Asia and suggested that we will face severe consequences if we ignore this “possibly game-changing threat.” Having just returned from almost a month in South Asia, I can say confidently that this is no longer a question: ISIS is in South Asia, and it might already have set up shop in India.
My November piece focused on Bangladesh and a suspected ISIS headquarters in the capital of Dhaka. In the short time since then, more evidence of an increasingly powerful ISIS there has emerged.

As the ruling Awami League and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed have a strong interest in maintaining the fiction that Bangladesh is a “moderate” country and that any threats to moderation come from their political rivals, the police denial is not unexpected.
