Another week, another arrest. On September 4th Indian security forces nabbed a commander of Hizbul Mujahi-deen, one of five militant groups at large in Kashmir, a region run by India but claimed by Pakistan.

For India, it is handy propaganda, the latest in a string of summer successes against militants. Two earlier arrests made bigger headlines.
