Note: What is the "Deccan Mujahideen"? From Wikipedia:
Deccan refers to the Deccan Plateau in southern India which encompasses the states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. The name is an anglicised from the Prakrit word akkhin, itself derived from the Sanskrit word dakṣiṇa-, meaning 'South' or 'The South'.Mujahideen in Arabic means "Muslims who are involved in a Jihad". Thus, the name Deccan Muhahideen translates, within the context of their actions, to Southern Jihadists.
