Chandru, who heads Strand Life Sciences, a six-year old company that consults to big pharma firms, says that violent revolution is extremely unlikely but that other problems - rising crime, resentment, social instability, pockets of armed rebels - will get worse unless the gap between India's rich and poor can be narrowed. "There's obviously enough concern that everyone is talking about it," he says...

The breadth of that network has gradually emerged since British authorities flagged Rauf as a "person of interest" about six months ago and notified Pakistani law enforcement, which tapped Rauf's phones and monitored his movements. Investigators tell TIME that Rauf--who was arrested in eastern Pakistan on Aug. 9, a day before British authorities rounded up 24 suspects in connection with the plot (one has since been released)--had close links with several known al-Qaeda supporters in Pakistan as well...
