"Such political patronage has made the banned Students Islamic Movement of India very strong in Kerala. SIMI operates behind a dozen front organizations, of which at least two are based in the state capital and others are located in strategic places, like the main seaport. The Kerala government officially declared in 2006 that SIMIās cadres had developed links with the Lashkar-e-Taiba of Pakistan. Police reports indicate that SIMI is operating under the cover of religious study, rural development and research. Some of these organizations are spreading āextremist religious idealsā among the youth of Kerala, under the guise of ācounseling and guidance centers working for behavioral changeā. SIMI is also reported to have established a womenās wing. It receives generous funds from Kuwait and Pakistan."
