Introduction

The film titled The Kerala Story, initially claimed to tell the story of 32,000 women from Kerala who were radicalized and went to join terror group Islamic State. After outrage over the claim and careline demands for a ban, the trailer was modified to say that the film was really about 3 women. It's been criticized as another film that vilifies the Muslim community and furthers a communal narrative ahead of state and national elections. In this episode we take a look at Islamic State and India and just how much the terror group managed to spread its influence here.
