Radicalization in India is entering a new and complex phase. This phase is far more decentralized digitally driven, and socially embedded than ever before. Unlike the earlier decades, where radicalization was associated primarily with organized terror outfits operating across the borders, the contours today are blurred, multi-layered and often invisible until a flash point emerges. The glaring example of this is the terror attack near Red Fort in Delhi on 10th November killing nearly fifteen people and injuring dozens. What has shocked investigators and public is that the attack was allegedly orchestrated by a network of highly educated professionals mostly doctors rather than by a stereotypical image of militants. This new face of radicalization is shaped by Information warfare, Algorithm driven echo chamber, Micro targeting of youth, Identity based fracture lines, Transnational extremist network, and State sponsored psychological operations. Further the convergence religious extremism, etho-national radicalization, lone wolf tendencies and foreign backed hybrid warfare makes this extremely dangerous. It is a hard fact that Pakistan continues to remain the epicenter of anti India radical campaigns, using technology, social media terror proxies, disinformation networks and strategic maneuver to destabilize India's internal cohesion and challenge its sovereignty, especially in sensitive regions like Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and other parts of North-East.  
    Therefore, it is utmost important to know about radicalization, uncover the new age of radicalization, its drivers, Pakistan's strategic role and its implication for India's security and societal harmony. One must also chalk out a road map to counter this evolving threat. Radicalization basically is the process by which an individual or a group adopts increasingly extreme political, social or religions ideologies that may involve the acceptance or the use of violence to achieve their goals. This process can lead to support for or participation in harmful activities, inciting, killing of individuals or terrorism. It is complex process that can be influenced by various factors such as social isolation, as sense of justice or experiences with conflict or repression. Digital indoctrination now operates through viral videos and misinformation, influencer style and radical preachers, AI generated deep fakes manipulating religious sentiments, and gamified content that makes extremism appear heroic. Besides, India's fast expanding smart phone penetration has inadvertently created fertile ground for digital radicalizers operating from abroad especially from rogue nation Pakistan.
