Anyone who is planning on carrying out research in South Asia or
indeed anyone who simply wishes to understand more about this
cultural heartland should read this book. It shows how geological
movements moulded the land of this unique cradle and how they still
impact on it. Discussions are woven around the three major forces
of integration. These are 'identitive' forces - bonds of language,
ethnicity, religion or ideology; 'utilitarian' forces - bonds of
common material interest, and 'coercion' - the institutional use or
threat of physical violence. By studying these forces, Professor
Chapman shows how the organization of territory has been central to
the region's historic, cultural, linguistic and economic
development. In addition to the material on the Northwest frontier,
Afghanistan and Kashmir which was added for the second edition, the
Northeastern borderlands are also now examined in this fully
revised third edition. The current geopolitical state of the region
is completely updated and greatly enhanced.
