ABSTRACT

One of the longest-surviving insurgent groups fighting the Indian state in the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir is Hizb ul Mujahedeen. It has been linked with the Kashmiri offshoot of the Islamist organization Jama’at e Islami and has been called its armed wing. By looking at the degree of involvement of Jama’at e Islami in the Kashmir insurgency and its relationship with Hizb, the article focuses on existing organization structures. Existing structures affect the effectiveness of the insurgent group. More specifically, the paper inverts the focus from Jama’at e Islami as the political front of Hizb ul Mujahedeen and argues that the latter, in a clear understanding of the ‘micropolitics of rebellion,’ used the former to organize themselves. This article also investigates the militantization of Jama’at e Islami – a perception that its political program is inherently violent – because of its association with the insurgency.

摘要

Hizb ul Mujahedeen 是在有争议的查谟和克什米尔地区与印度政府作战的现存时间最长的叛乱组织之一。它与伊斯兰组织 Jama'at e Islami 在克什米尔的分支有联系，并被称为其武装派别。通过考察 Jama'at e Islami 在克什米尔叛乱中的参与程度及其与 Hizb 的关系，本文重点关注现有的组织结构。现有结构会影响叛乱组织的效力。更具体地说，该论文将 Jama'at e Islami 的焦点颠倒过来，认为它是 Hizb ul Mujahedeen 的政治阵线，并认为后者清楚地了解“叛乱的微观政治”，利用前者来组织自己。这篇文章还调查了军事化Jama'at e Islami 的看法——认为其政治计划本质上是暴力的——因为它与叛乱有关。
