From 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023, will 50 or more fatalities be attributed to one or more non-state armed groups with Salafi jihadi ideology in India?

This question will be resolved using data from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program’s (UCDP) Georeferenced Event Dataset. We will use UCDP’s best estimates to count the total number of fatalities for the targets of non-state armed groups with Salafi jihadi ideology. 
A simplified spreadsheet containing select columns from GED events involving non-state armed groups with Salafi jihadi ideology in India is available here. We will update this spreadsheet monthly as new data become available through the UCDP Candidate Events Dataset. As of Version 22.0.7 (July 2022), 1 fatality has been recorded in 2022. 
About this data:

• We will only count fatalities from entries that start on or after 1 Sept 2022 (column: date_start) and end on or before 31 Aug 2023 (column: date_end).
• This dataset includes conflicts involving non-state armed groups with Salafi jihadi ideology. Currently, this list includes IS and Indian Mujahideen. When appropriate, other groups may be added in accordance with the criteria established in the Nonstate Armed Groups (NAGs) coding scheme.
• The variable sal_deaths is calculated by summing the number of civilian deaths along with deaths of any combatants that were the targets of the Salafist groups. Fatalities suffered by Salafist groups are not included in the count.
• Fatality totals from previous years are as follows:
  • 2003: 1
  • 2005: 78
  • 2006: 205
  • 2007: 11
  • 2008: 136
  • 2010: 20
  • 2011: 26
  • 2013: 23
  • 2021: 1
  • 2022: 1
• Note that for years not listed above, there were no conflicts recorded that met the criteria needed to become eligible for this dataset.
