I study spread of ideas, product, disease through mathematical models.
My primary work is in marketing but also works on other social issues like crime and terrorism because of interest. Terrorism is itself a product which needs marketing.
Terrorism/Extremism is like an epidemic, where you have general population, i.e. susceptible to terrorism, infected population like extremists, and recovered population, like rehabilitated or those who have given up. It also includes natural death local people and terrorists, terrorist death rate is quite high as they live in more hostile environment, then we have government efforts to kill or rehabilitate terrorists along with making people less susceptible to terrorism y other efforts like providing jobs, financial security, taking care of their demands.
No in case of Kashmir, we have to take case of Immigrants also, as terrorist intrude through the border but in case of Maoists, this immigration factor is not that significant as the main leaders are from the same population.
Similarly case of TTP is quite unique too, it includes geo-spatial part too. See you can't have effective policy to curb TTP if you don't take into account the porous nature of Pakistan-Afghanistan boundary. The terrain helps in immigration, intrusion of these terrorists.
Also, offensive power of TTP is dependent on the weapons supply and this affect victim counts too. TTP has easy access to suscpetible population as they recruit brain-washed youth, unemployed youth.
Then there is case of population growth, if conditions doesn't changes in Pakistan fast, you will have many internal terrorist organizations.
So we have to study, how a person become a terrorist, what are the factors to take into account to perfectly model the situation.
Interesting ! What sort of companies do you work for usually ?
Good to hear , bro ... Yes terrorism is a product which requires extensive marketing but it isn't hard to sell where there is unemployment , poverty and negligence ...
Well , unless terrorist are killed or jailed for the rest of their life , I dont see a cure for the existing ones suffering from this epidemic ... But still I am astonished , when I see the rehabilitated ones in centers run by my army ... Of course , their causality rate is high since they are always fighting the highly trained and sophisticated forces ... But yes , if we focus on development and reducing poverty through long term efforts , I think we can finally put an end to this menace once and for all !
Krait , if US cant effectively seal the border with Mexico , here you are talking about a third world country , my friend ...
Well , population growth isn't going to stop , believe me ... Even though the entire world has moved beyond , we South Asians in particular still believe in the old tribal mentality " producing more children so they earn more for the family " ... I ask " if you cant feed the kids , why bring them into this world ? " ...
Actually its Govt job , but they are sleeping in the palace of Islamabad ...
