Democracy and political violence can hardly be considered
conceptual siblings, at least at first sight. Democracy allows
people to route their aspirations, demands, and expectations of the
state through peaceful methods; violence works outside these
prescribed and institutionalized channels in public spaces, in the
streets, in the forests and in inhospitable terrains. But can
committed democrats afford to ignore the fact that violence has
become a routine way of doing politics in countries such as India?
By exploring the concept of political violence from the perspective
of critical political theory, Neera Chandhoke investigates its
nature, justification and contradictions. She uses the case study
of Maoist revolutionaries in India to globalize and relocate the
debate alongside questions of social injustice, exploitation,
oppression and imperfect democracies. As such, this is an important
and much-needed contribution to the dialogue surrounding
revolutionary violence.
