Simi (Students’ Islamic Movement of India), now a banned organisation, is a Muslim fundamentalist organisation which was founded in 1977. Its ostensible purpose was to "to educate and enlighten Muslim youth in India". Simi, in its publications, lists as its objectives the propagation of Islam and jihad for the cause of Islam. It claims in its literature that it wants to convert India into an Islamic land.
A recent study by two scholars from Oxford University says this is only part of a larger international trend. They have found that over the years, those with engineering degrees are over-represented in Islamic terror organisation. One of the 10 suspects arrested for his role in the Ahmedabad serial blasts holds a diploma in human rights from the M.S. University in Baroda. In the Jaipur blasts (May 2008), a medical student was reportedly involved. In the Bengaluru blasts (2005), the mastermind was an engineer, according to the investigating agencies.
