A software programmer. No doubt another one of those desperately poor people we keep hearing so much about -- the ones who turn to jihad out of a sense of desperation. (Actually, study after study has shown that jihadists are generally more affluent than others in the societies from which they come.) "Brothers arrested over Bombay train blasts," from the Times Online, with thanks to JE:
Two brothers who have been linked to a Muslim militant group have been arrested by Indian police in connection with the Bombay train bombings which killed 183 people earlier this month.Faizal Sheikh and Muzammil Sheikh were arrested yesterday by anti-terrorist investigators after being questioned on suspicion of being members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba group.
According to The Times of India, Faizal Sheikh is suspected of being the western India commander for Lashkar-e-Taiba, a banned militant group which is fighting against Indian control of part of disputed Kashmir.
He and his brother, a software programmer, will appear in court later today accused of conspiracy in connection with the blasts. Lashkar-e-Taiba has denied any role in the attacks.

In INDIA TODAY magazine, which finally got down to covering those blasts 3 weeks after the event, Lashkar-e-Toiba is described in a side article.
Unlike other militant outfits operating for the self-proclaimed goal of liberating Kashmir from India, LeT seeks an overarching pan-Islamic objective of spreading the arch of Jihad against India beyond Jammu & KashmirIn an associated article on SIMI, it points out that the group 'advocates the "liberation of India" by converting it into an Islamic land.' Essentially, J&K is pretty much in this battle what Sudetenland was in 1938. Nothing makes a stronger case for Benes decree, not just in India, but in Kashmir as well. (Unfortunately, since India today is subscription only, but one has to be a subscriber to the print edition to subscribe online, and for me, even that hasn't worked. Also, there is a major difference in material coverage between the Indian edition vs. foreign editions.)
As for the software programmer, they are now a dime a dozen in India, but with money (particularly from Jihad funders in the Gulf, which is the only place in the world that Indian Muslims migrate to), it isn't difficult to get into Indian training centers like NIIT (where money, rather than being in the top 0.0001% is what's required), and thereby generate another source of funding for Jihad. Although, in this case, Faisal Sheikh's brother, was probably needed for logistical, rather than financial purposes.
The only way to fix this would be to ban Muslims from all Hi-tech institutions, or discriminate against them. Not likely to happen with the current regime, determined as it seems to include Muslims in their quota system, so that qualified or not, some of those losers are guaranteed to be circulated through the education system, denying poorer but worthier infidels a shot at improving thier lives, with no accompanying threat to their county.

Inffidel Pride, Jihad in India is being Carried out for the last thousand years. India even today is an unfinished agenda of the Islam, meaning by that this land of Kafirs (Hindus) should be won back by the Islam. The only solution to combat this jihad in India is to educate Kafirs(Hindus& other non-muslims)about the real islam. Indian kafirs are completely ignorant about the evils of Koran and Hadiths prescribe about them.

Google the names. They seem to be the Indian equivalents of Inspector Callaghan.
