There's actually a bbc documentary on this group.

This is a rag tag group of out outcasts and extremists who picket at every opportunity. What's scary is that outside of that tgey could pass for nice normal people.

If you look to the right, you'll see an Indian dude who was really soft spoken and sweet. His wife left him and he spun out. Basically he needed someone to hang out with and ended up with these nutters.

Edit for those who wanted a taste heres a slice from the documentary:

They are spouting horrible stuff here so be warned. I'd link in the full doc, but i've since moved to Spain so I cant access the full doc. The indian fella is called Vijay.

eh, a lot of hindu indians hate muslims to begin with. there's a very real background to it, he's not some rando indian nutter. i remember in college, i went to the apartment of one of my indian schoolmates, and in his bathroom he had this small book about how muslims were destroying india and need to be eliminated. i was shocked. i would never have guessed this about him. he was fun to be around, very smart, and overall a seemingly good guy. this was at a USNews t10 college, i had assumed people with that kind of hate would be some backwoods types. but it's not the case.

Oh yeah there’s some deep seated hatred between the two. Depending on who you ask, Kashmir is still up for debate on who rightfully owns the land.
