The book reflects upon the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the
ensuing developments in Russia, the rest of the former Soviet
Union, Central and Eastern Europe and elsewhere in the world. It
discusses the impact of the legacies of the Russian Revolution on
political systems, ideologies, economic and social structures and
culture. The book answers some pertinent questions: To what extent
are these legacies relevant today for the contextualisation of
memory politics, social institutions, and international relations?
How does an analysis of 1917 and its legacies contribute to the
comparative study of revolutions and social change?
There is a danger in the West of viewing terrorism exclusively
through the prism of 9/11. This ground-breaking examination of
terrorism in North East India demonstrates how grave a mistake this
is.
The nature of terrorism is the subject of ever-increasing scrutiny
and there are many lessons to be learned from India's borderlands.
Terrorism, fostered at first by post-colonial resentments, took
root in the region because of an increased sense of cultural
identity and perceived discrimination and exclusion by the Indian
state. This book examines the long term effects of terrorism on the
population of North East India - where the best-known conflict is
the Naga tribe's ongoing campaign for a greater Nagaland - as well
as its international consequences.
India's Fragile Borderlands offers a comprehensive study of the
nature, origins and history of terrorism in India's North East
within an international perspective. Sharing borders with China,
Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar (Burma) and Bhutan, the region abounds
in nationalist, separatist and even religious organizations that
have used terrorism as a strategy to achieve their aims. Archana
Upadhyay explores the complex and specific ideologies of these
groups while highlighting the cross-border links and connections
with organized crime that funds the violence in the region. This
important new book includes many insights into the nature of
terrorism in India's northeastern frontiers and will be invaluable
for students of politics, history and International Relations.
