The Screen’s Seduction: Online Radicalization in Jammu & Kashmir

Radicalization in Jammu & Kashmir has entered a new and far more dangerous phase—one that no longer depends on physical recruitment camps or cross-border movement alone. The Screen’s Seduction is a Global Eye Intelligence Conflict Intelligence Report that exposes how digital platforms have become the primary battleground for extremist recruitment, indoctrination, and operational coordination.

This report traces the evolution of cyber-enabled radicalization in J&K, detailing how Pakistan-backed terror networks exploit social media ecosystems to weaponize grievance, identity, and emotion. It analyses the role of encrypted messaging apps, viral propaganda videos, algorithm-driven amplification, and misinformation campaigns in transforming vulnerable youth into lone-actor threats. Case studies illustrate how online narratives replaced traditional insurgent mobilization, lowering entry barriers to violence while complicating detection for security agencies.

Beyond security implications, the report assesses the social and economic fallout—community polarization, normalization of extremist ideology, disruption of tourism and investment, and the psychological toll on families and institutions. Crucially, it outlines counter-radicalization frameworks combining OSINT, digital forensics, AI-driven threat profiling, community engagement, and strategic communication.

This is decision-grade intelligence for policymakers, internal security professionals, technology strategists, and researchers. Global Eye Intelligence is followed by those who track threat vectors before they metastasize online. Missing this report means confronting radicalization only after it turns violent.
