10. ABOUT SIMI
A Radical Islamist Organization of young and Educated students floated by
the ‘Jamaat-i Islami Hind’, intended to work among Muslim students to create
‘Islamic Consciousness’ among them and to engage in missionary work
among non-Muslim students to convert them to the Islam Faith.
SIMI emerged as a coalition of student and youth Islamic bodies, namely the
Muslim Students Association, Students Islamic Union, Students Islamic
Organization and Muslim Youth Association.
SIMI advocates ‘Liberation of India’ by converting it to an Islamic State and
has declared Jihad against India to establish Dar-ul-Islam (Land of Islamic
Rule) by either forcefully converting everyone to Islam or by violence.
In 1979, less than two years after the SIMI was established, the Soviet Union
invaded Afghanistan, Ayatollah Khomeini toppled the Shah of Iran and in
Pakistan, the military dictator Zia ul-Haq set about imposing Islamic Laws by
force. The SIMI voiced its opposition to the Soviet invasion, welcomed the
Iranian Islamic Revolution, seeing it as the first step in the eventual global
revival of Islam, and wholeheartedly supported Zia’s ‘Islamisation’ policy.

12. STATUS
On 27 September 2001, the Government of India banned SIMI for 2 years
under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967; after the governments of
the states of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh pushed for its
proscription in the wake of the organization’s involvement in incidents of
inter-communal strife.
Now proscribed under the Prevention Of Terrorism Act, 2002 (POTA).
Since the ban, SIMI has been operating under the banner of
‘Tahreek Ihya-e-Ummat’ or ‘Movement for the Revival of the Ummah’.

13. Dr Shahid Badar Falahi (charged with sedition and inciting communal
disharmony in the State of Uttar Pradesh) functioned as the National
President and Safdar Nagori as the secretary-general till the organization was
proscribed under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, 2002.
STATUS
Operating underground, and reviving SIMI cadres under the umbrella of
different outfits, under the leadership of Nagori. Nagori, a Proclaimed
Offender booked under Unlawful Activities Act and absconding since
September 27, 2001, also has links with the Pakistan’s Inter Service
Intelligence (ISI), the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas and other Radical
Islamist leaders.
By the year 2000, the SIMI, as reported, had about 400 full-time workers called
‘Ansars’** (A term used in inspiration) and 20,000 supporters or ‘Ikhwans’.
** Ansars were the people who had helped the Prophet in Madina, when he
was
driven away from Mecca by the idol-worshippers. While the Prophet strength-
ened his position in Madina with the support of Ansaars and fought back
Mecca, SIMI intended to fight against the political system in India with the

14. OBJECTIVES
Propagation of Islam
Jihad to establish the supremacy of Islam
Counter the increasing moral degeneration, sexual anarchy in
the Indian Muslim Society, by aggressively imposing Islamic
Beliefs.
Restoration of the ‘Khilafat’ (Caliphate), a duty binding on all
Muslims, and one that the Muslims of India, despite being in a
minority, must abide by.
Emphasis on working for ‘Ummah’ (Universal Muslim
Brotherhood)

15. IDEOLOGY
In line with the general Islamist understanding, SIMI sees Islam as a
‘Complete Programme’, providing detailed instructions on all matters, from
the most intimately personal to collective affairs such as the state and
international relations. The mission of Prophet Muhammad is seen principally
as the struggle to establish true monotheism or ‘Tauheed’. This is taken to
mean not just the worship of the Only One True God ‘Allah’ but also, and
equally importantly, the rule of Allah.
SIMI utilizes the youth in the propagation of Islam and also to mobilize
support for Jihad and establish a Shariat – based Islamic rule through “Islami
Inquilabi”
SIMI maintained, “It is the responsibility of this (Muslim) ‘Last Community’,
the ‘Best Community’, to rise up and face the challenges that surround it, to
revive ‘Deen’ (Faith), to lead and guide not only the Islamic world, but all of
humanity along the ‘Straight Path’ and rescue it from the clutches of Satanic
power. It is the demand of the time that Muslim Youth should struggle for the
superiority and establishment of Deen and Revival of Islam in the light of Holy
Qur’an and Sunnah” (Saga of Struggle – Annual Report 1998-2000, Pg 3,
Published by SIMI, New Delhi)

16. IDEOLOGY
SIMI’s ideological inspirations were Muslim thinkers who had launched major
Islamic movements in the Indian Subcontinent, after the decline of Muslim
rule in the eighteenth century. Prominent among them were:
Shah WalliullahShah Walliullah : He had invited Ahmad Shah Abdali of
Afghanistan to fight against Marathas in 1760.
Sayyed AhmadSayyed Ahmad : A staunch follower of Shah Waliullah, who had
launched Islamic Jihad “to liberate all India”
from foreign domination and establish a
genuine Islamic state. He was however, killed
in a battle with Sikh in 1831 at Balkot (Islamic
Movement, a monthly organ of SIMI, Volume 3,
January 1992)
Haji Shariat AllahHaji Shariat Allah : He had launched Fara’idi movement in
nineteenth century to create pure Islamic order
in the society.
Maulana SayyidMaulana Sayyid : He was the founder of Jamaat-e- Islami.
Abul Ala MaududiAbul Ala Maududi

17. IDEOLOGY
SIMI is against all Ideologies and Religions other than Islam, and condemns
them as false and sinful (Taghuti) and their adherents as ‘Rebels against
Allah’. SIMI maintains that Idol-Worship is a sin and it’s their Holy (Islamic)
duty to terminate Idol- Worship.
All non-Muslims (unbelievers) are Kafir’s, and no distinction is made among
them. Muslims are exhorted to give up the ways of the ‘Unbelievers’ and to
inculcate an unrelenting hostility to ‘Un-Islamic’ culture and to fully abide by
the Path of the Prophet. Because the ‘Enemies of Allah’ are expected to show
stiff resistance to Islam, violent Jihad is to be waged, if need be, against
those who put hurdles in the path of the struggle for establishing the Khilafat.
Nationalism is seen as a false ‘Idol’, and one devised by the non-Muslim
‘Enemies of the Faith (Islam)’ to divide the Muslims and thereby weaken them.

18. IDEOLOGY
Secularism, even in the form of state neutrality vis-à-vis religion or the
separation of religion and state, is seen as inherently anti-Islamic, for to
choose not to be ruled by Allah’s laws is a sign of rebelliousness against Him.
Democracy is also condemned, for to be ruled by manmade laws instead of
the Shariah is tantamount to the unforgivable sin of ‘Shirk’ i.e. associating
Partners with Allah
SIMI does not believe in a Nation-State, it does not believe in the Indian
Constitution or the Secular order and opposes ‘man-made’ institutions and
upholds that the concepts of Secularism, Democracy and Nationalism,
Keystones of the Indian Constitution, are antithetical to Islam

19. IDEOLOGY
Political power, in other words, is seen as central to the Islamic mission. All
man-made systems of law are condemned as ‘false’, even Satanic, and
Muslims are reminded that unless they actively struggle to be ruled in
accordance with the Shariah their commitment to and faith in Islam is not
complete and remains suspect.
As Shahid Badr Falahi, President of SIMI, once put it, “The Qur’an itself says
that the Kafir’s will naturally oppose the Muslims. If through any of our
actions the Kafir’s are agitated this itself is a proof that what we are doing is
right. We have deliberately adopted the policy of the Prophet in this regard. If
this drives the enemies of Islam to anger we cannot help it”.
The fact that to actively and openly struggle for the establishment of an
Islamic polity in the Indian context would certainly invite stiff opposition from
other religionists is recognized, but the trials and tribulations that this would
mean for Muslims are, it is insisted, to be welcomed as a true test of their
faith and commitment and to have always been the lot of the true believers,
from the Prophet’s time onwards.

20. IDEOLOGY
Islam does not recognize any national differences, and all Muslims are
brothers to each other. Hence, they must be ruled by a single Khalifa.
National, as well as racial, regional, linguistic and sectarian identities are
seen as a sign of ‘Ignorance’ (Jahiliya), which is vehemently opposed to
Islam, and represent major hurdles in the path of establishing the rule of a
single Khalifa over all Muslims.
The Khilafat is seen as a divinely ordained order and also as the only solution
to the many problems of not just the Muslims alone but of all humankind. In
the absence of the Khilafat, the Muslims cannot lead their lives fully in
accordance with Islam. It is envisaged as a pan-Islamic polity, for all Muslims
are said to belong to the same nation (Qaum, Millat). Muslims who are
“comfortable living under an un-Islamic order” are warned that they shall be
consigned, rather uncharitably, to Hell.
According to SIMI “the end of Khilafat (Caliphate) led to our (Muslim)
disintegration into different countries on the basis of nationalism, language
and other sectarian prejudices. Naturally therefore, our main responsibility is
to strive in those areas, which are directly related to the reinstating of Khalifa”
Since its inception SIMI has kept Caliphate at the centre of discussion from
local to central level and had been in communication of thought on this issue
with the like – minded Islamic Organizations of the world.

21. IDEOLOGY
The SIMI sought to propagate its message through mass contact
programmes, lectures, seminars and rallies as well as through its abundant
literature, mainly the writings of Sayyed Abul Ala Maududi.SIMI maintains that
Renaissance of the Ummah depends on Islamic Scholars because the
community can attain its glory only when it will be led and guided by sincere
Ulema (Scholars).
SIMI considers Al Qaeda Chief Osama Bin Laden as a ‘True Believer of Islam’;
an outstanding example of a True Mujahid, who has undertaken Jihad on
behalf of the ‘Ummah’ and regards him as an epitome of ‘Islamic Hero’.
According to Safdar Nagori, a prominent SIMI leader, Bin Laden is “not a
terrorist” and neither is Jammu and Kashmir an “integral part of India”. At its
congregations, messages and recorded speeches from the Palestinian Hamas
leader Sheikh Ahmed Yasin and Qazi Hussein Ahmed, chief of the Jamaat-e-
Islami Pakistan have been relayed.
Shaheen Force, a cell for young children aged between 7 and 11, seeks to
“protect the children from present-day misguidance and vices” and keeps
them “under the shade of Islamic Culture”. SIMI also has a wing that aims to
channelize the talent of girls for the Islamist cause.

24. INFLUENCE
Established a special wing called the “Tahrik Tulaba-i-Arabia” to work among
Madrasah students and the Ulemas. SIMI had reportedly organized regional
meetings in West Bengal and in Chittagong (Bangladesh).
Several Radical Islamist Organizations in India are controlled by SIMI Cadres.
Few of them are:
National Democratic Front (NDF), Kerala
Islamic Youth Centre (IYC), Kerala
TamilNadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK), TamilNadu
Solidarity Students Movement, Kerala
Karuna Foundation, Kerala

25. INFLUENCE
Official sources have identified that SIMI has the support of a large section of
the Muslim populace in districts such as Lucknow, Kanpur, Aligarh, Agra,
Faizabad, Bahraich, Barabanki, Lakhimpur Kheri and Azamgarh in UP and is
suspected of engaging in subversive activities..
In early 2003, a senior police official in Lucknow (tasked with investigating
SIMI in Uttar Pradesh state), warned that the group was trying to re-organize
with the help of the ISI. His claim was based on the confessions of two
detained SIMI operatives, Obaid Ullah and Mohammed Arif. (Press Trust of
India, January 27, 2003).
Intelligence sources have stated that after proscription, large numbers of SIMI
cadres fled to the northeastern parts of India and neighboring Bangladesh for
sanctuary, training and bonding with other Islamic groups.
SIMI has a national presence with strong bases in the States of Uttar Pradesh,
Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Kerala, Maharashtra (Aurangabad, Malegaon,
Jalgaon, Thane and Pune), Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal (especially in the
border districts of Malda, Murshidabad, North and South Dinajpur and also
Kolkata) and Assam.

26. MEMBERSHIP
Students up to the age of 30 years are eligible to be its members and after
completing this age-limit they retire from the organization and can join other
affiliated organizations.

27. PUBLICATIONS
SIMI publishes several periodicals in various languages and formed its own
publishing company to propagate its message of ‘Islamic Revolution’:
The Shaheen Times – English
Tahreek (Weekly) – Hindi
Iqraa (Monthly) – Gujarati
Rupantar (Monthly) – Bengali
Sedhi Madal (Monthly) – Tamil
Vivekam (Bi-monthly) – Malayalam
Al Harkah – Urdu
Islamic Movement (Monthly) – English,Hindi,
& Urdu.

28. IMP. EVENTS
A regular feature was its special week-long campaigns aimed at creating an
awareness of the Islamic ‘solution’, in which, inevitably, the intention was to
‘prove’ that Islam alone had the solution to all problems afflicting humankind
In 1982, the SIMI organized an ‘Anti-Immorality’ week, in the course of which
‘social evils and general immorality’ were condemned and ‘immoral’ literature
was publicly burned.
In 1983 the Kerala unit of the organization held a special ‘Anti-Capitalism’
week, in which it was sought to be stressed that the ‘Islamic economic
system’ alone could provide genuine social justice
In September 1985, SIMI played an active role in joining protest
demonstrations all over the country against the Supreme Court verdict in
Shahbano case.
In February 1991 the SIMI organized the ‘Babri Masjid’
day all over India, holding demonstrations against the
efforts of Hindus to destroy the disputed mosque in
Ayodhya. SIMI leaders issued appeals to the Muslims
to ‘Stop thinking in Defensive Terms’ on the question
of the Mosque.

29. IMP. EVENTS
After the demolition of Babri Mosque, in a letter sent to various Muslim
leaders and Ulema, a top SIMI leader, Abdul Aziz Salafi, insisted that the
Muslims should make it clear to the Government of India as well as to Hindus
that the Muslims ‘would now refuse to sit low’. He insisted that Muslims could
no longer trust various ‘Secular’ parties to guarantee their rights and that they
should now ‘establish their own political identity’
SIMI activists put up posters in several towns appealing
to Allah to send down another Mahmud Ghaznavi
(who had attacked India and destroyed Hindu Temples),
to take revenge for attacks on Muslims and their places
of worship. SIMI had distributed posters and audio
cassettes extolling the militants, and exhorting the Indian
Muslims to follow in their path.
SIMI projected the Muslims killed in communal riots as martyr’s and
complemented those who were detained by Police with the honor of ‘Islamic
Warriors’ sacrificing for the ‘Cause of Faith’.

30. IMP. EVENTS
Four years later, the SIMI spelled out precisely what it had in mind. In a
statement issued in 1996 it declared that since democracy and secularism had
failed to protect the rights of the Muslims, there was no alternative left for the
Muslims but to struggle for the establishment of the Khilafat. It appealed to
non-Muslims to recognize that nationalism and westernization were not the
solution to the manifold problems facing the country, the only answer to
which, it argued, was what it called the Islamic political order
In 1994, in an effort to win the support of ‘low caste Dalits’ in its attacks on
Hinduism, SIMI had organized the ‘Anti-Varna Vyavastha’ week all over India,
in the course of which, through public lectures and the distribution of leaflets
and posters, it was stressed that the salvation of the ‘Dalits’ lay in conversion
to Islam.
In September 2001, posters hailing Osama and supporting the Taliban,
praising the Taliban’s destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas, were put up in
several towns of India, and Muslims were exhorted to ‘Trample over Infidels
(non-Muslims)’.

31. The Saudis had invited in the U.S. military shortly after Saddam Hussein
invaded Iraq’s oil-rich neighbor Kuwait, on August 2, 1990. To help protect the
kingdom and prepare to expel Iraq from Kuwait, the United States sent about
500,000 troops to Saudi Arabia. By 1997, when the base of American troops in
Saudi Arabia, became a centre of U.S. presence, radical Islamists all over the
world took it as a danger to their Faith.
IMP. EVENTS
U.S. presence was opposed by some in the kingdom and was among reasons
cited by Saudi-born Osama bin Laden for his Al-Qaeda attacks on America on
Sept. 11, 2001. SIMI joined other Radical Islamists for their aggressive
criticism of the presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia.
In July 1998, SIMI cadres held demonstrations
in major cities of India against the presence
of U.S. troops in the ‘Holy Land of Hijaz’ Saudi
Arabia, which they called “not only a gross
violation of some of the last instruction or will
of the Prophet, but also a sinister plot on the
part of the enemies of Islam to desecrate and
capture its holiest site.
(Annual Report 1998-2000 of SIMI, Page 9)

32. IMP. EVENTS
In 2000, the arrest of a Chinese Muslim from Xinjiang and his SIMI accomplice
at the border between West Bengal and Bangladesh provided the Indian
Police vital information on the SIMI’s contacts with Islamist Groups in
Western China
In September 2001, SIMI organized a conference at Mumbai attended by about
25,000 students, to gain more support for its demand of restoration of the
Babri Mosque. There it was stressed that the time had come for Muslims to
‘turn to Allah’, to engage in ‘missionary work’ (Da’wat i.e. invite non-Muslims
to accept Islam Faith) and to launch armed Jihad against the Indian State.
Shahid Badr Falahi, the then President of the SIMI, asserted that, Muslims and
Islam were being targeted by Hindus in league with agencies of the State.
Hence, he declared, ‘It is high time that Muslims organize themselves and
stand up to defend the community’
In September, 2001, SIMI activists organized demon-
strations at several places in India, castigating
America as an ‘Enemy of Islam’ and ‘an Agent of Satan’,
and lionizing Osama as a ‘True Mujahid’ and a ‘Hero
Fighting the non-believers’.

33. IMP. EVENTS
In October 2001, Safdar Nagori stated in Lucknow that declaring Bin Laden as
an international terrorist was part of “an evil design of the U.S.” He later
admitted to distributing audio cassettes of Bin Laden’s speeches in and
around Kanpur city (The Milli Gazette, October 2001).
SIMI was also responsible for communal riots in Pune and Kanpur in 2001
and for bomb blast in Sabarmati Express in 2001; and had campained against
singing of ‘Vande Mataram’ (Salute to Motherland) in U.P. schools.
During a special operation, security forces recovered CDs, tapes, books,
journals, posters of Bin Laden and documents urging all Muslims “to take
revenge for the Babri Masjid demolition, to support the secession of Kashmir
as well as the Jihad of Bin Laden in West Bengal” (The Statesman, Oct 5,
2001)
In late 2002, Maharashtra police seized as many as 30 compact discs
containing speeches of Maulana Masood Azhar, chief of Jaish-e-Muhammad,
along with clippings of communal riots in Gujarat from SIMI offices in
Aurangabad.

34. IMP. EVENTS
Following the October 2005 deadly bombings in New Delhi, the Indian
Government claimed that “Islami Inquilabi Mahaz” (The Islamic Revolutionary
Front), a hitherto unknown outfit, which accepted responsibility for the Delhi
blasts, is associated with the outlawed (SIMI). Intelligence Sources revealed
that the masterminds behind the October blasts had several meetings with
SIMI cadres in the southern cities of Gulbarga and Hubli.
In 2005, SIMI struck twice in a single month; on July 5, SIMI operatives staged
an attack on the disputed temple complex in Ayodhya, and, on July 28, SIMI
operatives played a role in the bombing on board the Shramjeevi Train that
killed 12 passengers and injured at least 52 others (The Hindu, Aug 1, 2005).
SIMI is also suspected of involvement in the blast at Ahmedabad Railway
Station in Gujarat on February 19 2006 and the twin blasts in Varanasi on
March 7 2006 that killed 18 people and injured over a hundred others. (Daily
News and Analysis, February 22 2006; Hindustan Times, March 30 2006).
