Ethnic Conflict in India - A Case-Study of Punjab (Hardcover)

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.
