What a top answer must contain

These are the checkable specifics from the marking standard for this question — the actual case, committee, datum or thinker, not an instruction to “give examples”.

  • Define: drug trafficking financing terror/insurgency — the crime-terror nexus
  • Vectors: Golden Crescent via Punjab/J&K (drone drops across IB), Golden Triangle via Manipur-Mizoram; Mundra 2021 (~3,000 kg heroin) as scale evidence
  • Linkages: proceeds to LeT/Khalistani networks (NIA chargesheets), insurgent taxation of routes in NE
  • Counters: NCORD coordination, anti-drone systems on IB, NDPS financial-investigation push, DRI-Navy interdiction, vulnerable-youth de-addiction (Punjab) — supply, finance and demand named separately
