Students Islamic Movement of India
The Students' Islamic Movement of India is a banned organisation that was formed in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, in April 1977. The stated mission of SIMI is the โliberation of Indiaโ by converting it to an Islamic land. The SIMI, an organisation of extremists has declared Jihad against India, the aim of which is to establish Dar-ul-Islam by either forcefully converting everyone to Islam or by violence. The Indian government describes it as a terrorist organisation, and banned it in 2001, shortly after the 9/11 attacks. The ban was lifted in August 2008 by a special tribunal, but was reinstated by K.G. Balakrishnan, then Chief Justice, on 6 August 2008 on national security grounds. SIMI's ideology and its objectives create fear and resentment among the people of India.
