New Delhi, Sept 21 ( India): The vicious propaganda ran by the notorious extremist group Islamic State (IS) has attracted a number of youth from all across the world. Interestingly, their targets are not just disfranchised Muslims, but perhaps, even people from other faith including Hinduism.

The latest aspirant from India to join the terror cult is a Hindu girl graduated from a top college in Delhi University. She was influenced by IS online justifications, and gained sympathy for the inhumane murderers. Her father, a retired army lieutenant colonel subsequently informed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) about the suspicious activities of her child.

According to a report carried by The Indian Express, sources within the NIA have informed the media group that the girl is firm on her will to join the IS. The de-radicalization programme conducted by the NIA has failed to convince her to quit the aspirations of turning an extremist.

According to the retired army personnel, his daughter in her mid-20s, went to Australia three years back for post-graduation studies. He believes that it was in Australia she got influenced by the evil ideology.

Sources within NIA have confirmed that the girl revealed her plan to convert as a Muslim and travel to Australia, and subsequently to Syria and serve in the caliphate of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The case of regretful radicalization of the young girl highlights a shocking development. Not only are Muslims, alienated from the mainstream attracted to ISIS, but, even non-Muslim educated youth are willing to travel to Islamic State and indulge in the ‘so-called divine’ war.
