This text critically evaluates the conventional reading of
ethnicity and ethnic conflict in contemporary Indian politics. By
focusing on India's nation and state building in the peripheral
regions since 1947, in particular Punjab, it argues that there is a
case for considering India as an ethnic democracy. The long term
development of ethno nationalist separatist movements and the
future character of Indian democracy is assessed in light of the
challenge posed by the rise of "Hindutva" forces, the demise of the
Nehruvian state, and the internal political and economic pressures
towards regionalization.
