In 2022, Yasin Malik, the leader of a Kashmiri group declared by a US federal appeals court as a terrorist organisation involved in killings, bombings and kidnappings, was sentenced by an Indian court to life in prison. While Malik continues in principle to be re-elected as chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) while incarcerated, JKLF's actual operations have since been managed and supported by a network of radical Kashmiri and Pakistani activists thousands of miles away—in Texas. Image: members of Jammu Kashmir Students Liberation Front holding protest demonstration against Indian court to give the death penalty to Yasin Malik, on May 25, 2022, in Karachi, Pakistan.

Since its founding in 1979, the IRGC has evolved from revolutionary militia to military force, then to an ideological-security cartel and a “state within the state”—and now, under the pressures of war and a looming succession crisis, into something close to the state itself. Each crisis handed the Guard a new mission, new resources, and greater autonomy. The result is its hardening around its most coercive institution.
