Taliban are supposed to follow the Deobandi teachings. Prof Mahavir Prasad Jain, a retired professor of Medieval History from Udaipur University, establishes with scholarly authority that Taliban is following exactly the teachings that Deoband took from the scholarly line of Sheikh Sirhindi - Shah Waliullah - Shah Ismail - Syed Ahmed Barelvi. Indian State cannot condemn Taliban while ignoring Deoband.
