The contours of this response will be determined by geopolitical power-play; economic growth; consumer behaviour; poverty and social justice; the influence of incumbent and new businesses; governance and political leadership at the centre and the provinces - and most importantly the ability to attract and generate finances.

Radical Islam in South Asia and Implications for the Region
May 20, 2011
Vikram Sood
Western discourse on radical Islam in the past has tended to concentrate on the Arab world, and the effects of this phenomenon in their part of the world. There was little discussion on the South Asian region except for a few debates, which were more in relation to Al Qaeda terrorism, about radicalism in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It has been overlooked that the poorest and the largest number of Muslims live in the South Asian subcontinent, totalling around 480 million in three countries - India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Ashok Singh
Over the last three decades, a particularly radicalised form of selfawareness has manifested itself amongst Muslim societies in many parts of the world. In the long journey of Muslim radical thought, the contemporary period seems to represent a distinct phase. In studying its development amongst European Muslims, we must take note of the fact that the Muslim Diaspora in the cities of Europe have experienced an unique set of influences, which have transformed the Muslim thinking on their identity, and pushed some of them to take a radical stance.
