Abstract
The article analyzes the transnational Islamist terrorist organizations operating in Kashmir since 1989, which were formed and sponsored by sections of the Pakistani state, as the main intelligence agency in the country, the ISID - Inter Directorade-Services Intelligence, and the national army. The use of private religious forces in the dispute with India, which lasts for more than six decades (since 1947), attends a strategy for Pakistan's Foreign Policy based in the use of "War by Proxy" as an essential tool for their continued military action in the region. As a way to legitimize its actions in Kashmir, terrorist organizations developed a subversion of the idea of jihad, in which the holy war is posed as the sole duty of every believer of Islam, and secondly, as a way of promoting a religious cleansing against those who are considered enemies, with the objective to destabilize Indian government in the State.
