Few regions of the world are riven with the variety of ethnic
conflicts that stalk South Asia. These conflicts stem from the
impact of colonial legacies, population movements across porous
borders, the disruptive effects of modernisation forces and the
exigencies of electoral politics. The costs of ethnic conflict in
South Asia have been staggering.... In every state of South Asia,
ethnic minorities - and sometimes majorities - have been hapless
victims of violence. Today several major ethnic conflicts wrack the
region.
(This book) is a dispassionate and painstaking analysis of many
of the ethnic problems that plague South Asia. Ishtiaq Ahmed
carefully traces the historical origins of these various conflicts
and discusses their contemporary dimensions. He also provides a
succinct summary of a substantial body of literature on ethnicity
and state-formation.....a useful analysis of a range of conflicts
that continue to punctuate the South Asian political
landscape....will be of particular use to scholars and
policy-makers interested in understanding the origins of ethnic
conflict in South Asia.' Survival
'a major compendium of theoretical, historical and political
literature interspersed with rich empirical data.' International
