What is Hizbul Mujahideen?
'''Hizbul Mujahideen''' (HM) is one of the largest militant groups operating in [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] from [[Azad Jammu and Kashmir]] and stands for the integration of the [[Disputed Territory]] and supports the unification of all the [[Kashmir]] region with [[Pakistan]]. Since its formation the Hizbul Mujahideen organization has also wanted the complete [[Islam]]ization of [[Kashmir]]. The Hizbul Mujahideen was formed in [[1989]] in the [[Kashmir Valley]] with Master Ahsan Dar as its chief. Dar was later arrested by the Indian Army by mid-December 1993. It was reportedly formed as the militant wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) at the behest of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), [[Pakistan]]’s external intelligence agency, to counter the [[Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front]] (JKLF), which had advocated complete independence of the State from the nations. Many of the early Hizbul Mujahideen cadres were former JKLF members. [[Category:Kashmir]]
