The Jihad Game by Abhinav Pandya is a hard-hitting exposé of how Pakistan’s army and ISI weaponised jihad as a tool of statecraft to wage a prolonged, covert war against India. Tracing events from the 1980s to the present day, the book takes readers from the blood-soaked streets of Kashmir to terror camps inside Pakistan, revealing the deep networks of militancy, funding, ideology, and manipulation that sustain this shadow war.

Drawing on ground reports, first-hand interviews, and incisive analysis, Pandya explains how Pakistan’s military–intelligence complex systematically created, nurtured, and deployed militant groups as instruments of chaos. The book not only exposes the machinery that keeps the conflict alive, but also examines the strategic challenges India faces and what must be done to counter Pakistan’s longest-running covert operation.

Clear-eyed, chilling, and meticulously researched, The Jihad Game is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand South Asian security, terrorism, and modern geopolitical conflict.
