Description: This book provides a detailed account of the emergence and metamorphoses of Lashkar - e - Taiba (Le T) and its political arm Jamat ud Dawah since the early 1990s. Linking the group's narratives to the process of Islamisation in Pakistan and divergent views on the country's Islamic identity it is the first systematic analysis of how the organisation globally reviled as the perpetrator of the 2008 Mumbai Bombings has developed its conception of da'wah (proselytising) and jihad in response to regional and global developments. Samina Yasmeen makes extensive use of Urdu materials (pamphlets books ephemera) by Markaz Da'wah wal Irshad the parent organisation of Le T to examine the 'insider's vision of the dominant threats to Pakistan and the Muslim ummah as well as strategies for countering these threats. She argues that while adopting an oppositional narrative vis - a - vis India and the West Le T has increasingly turned its attention to da'wah narratives within Pakistan engaging with broader spectrums of society. Women have increasingly been assigned significant agency in this narrative and Ju D's activism in education and social welfare has helped it acquire social capital. This in turn prompts a re - imagining of the movement's relationship with the Pakistani military.
