In Episode 113 of Unraveled, Marvi Sirmed analyzes India’s first-ever consolidated counterterrorism strategy document, "PRAHAAR," released on February 24. This 9-page doctrine attempts to unify prevention, response, and resilience under a single umbrella, emphasizing a "whole of society" approach. However, beyond the acronyms, does this strategy offer new operational mechanisms, or is it a codified justification for existing laws like UAPA and the repression of dissent? Marvi breaks down the 7 pillars of PRAHAAR, examines the "offensive defense" philosophy echoed by Ajit Doval, and scrutinizes the document's claims regarding human rights and the rule of law. Furthermore, the episode offers a critical comparison between India’s civilian-led PRAHAAR and Pakistan’s military-centric "Azm-e-Istehkam," highlighting how both states risk using national security as a pretext to shrink civic space and curb political opposition. Topics Covered: 1. Breakdown of the PRAHAAR acronym (Prevention, Response, Aggregating capacities, Human rights, Attenuating conditions, Aligning international efforts, Recovery & Resilience). 2. The role of the Multi-Agency Center (MAC) and intelligence sharing. 3. Concerns over UAPA, the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, and civil liberties. 4. A comparative analysis of India’s PRAHAAR vs. Pakistan’s National Action Plan (NAP) and Azm-e-Istehkam.
