Binay Kumar Singh is a columnist Band researcher. He is a regular on TV panels presenting realistic perspective on issues of national security and policy. He also regularly contributes on various aspects of internal security in different Indian and foreign publications.

His report on the activities of PFI, submitted to the Government of Jharkhand, was instrumental in getting it banned in the state of Jharkhand in 2018. The ban, after a brief period of revocation by the State High Court, continues. Singh has done extensive research on Maoist-Missionary alliance, illegal cattle trade-terror nexus, coal mafia cartel, chit-fund and Ponzi scheme frauds; besides the issue of illegal infiltration.

Singh hails from Jharkhand and has spent his early years in Dhanbad district, from where he completed his schooling.

The author provides quite a distinct framework in his Th analysis of the QUADRIGA, which, in his opinion, is threatening India's internal security. The issues are not new. They have been in the public domain for quite some time. But the author brings a new perspective and one that finds a larger resonance with the major population in the country.

The author looks at the QUADRIGA from a perspective that he calls conspiracy theories against India. The more serious threat, to which too the author also refers to extensively, is the rise of Islamic Fundamentalism, its alliance with Christian Missionaries and Naxalism, and their common minimum programme, in its various manifestations. This has been documented extensively in the book. This particular phenomenon is fertile ground for this Quadriga to deepen the fault-lines in the Indian society and misuse it to further their anti-India agenda. This deserves greater study in the Indian context.

India is a plural and diverse society with a rich cultural and social legacy. This cannot be wished away. As we correct certain historical perspectives and give greater recognition to indigenous languages and cultures, it is important to navigate this journey without serious disruptions.

The cases I witnessed as Union Home Secretary against Kobad Ghandy and Anuradha Ghandy illustrates the difficulties faced by the government in prosecuting hard- core Maoists, who operate under the cover of intellectuals and so-called human rights activists.

The author has highlighted certain serious threats facing this country. I hope that this will generate widespread public discussion on the way forward as our country seeks to become a prosperous and inclusive nation.
