Ethnic conflict in South Asia
Engineer, Asghar Ali (ed)
Ethnic conflict in South Asia - Delhi Ajanta Publications 1987 - 223p.
The ethnic conflict in South Asia has assumed menacing proportions and it is necessary for the scholars to study this phenomenon, its specificities and differences as carefully as possible. It is with this view that the editor of the volume has tried to collect relevant material in this volume on ethnic violence in different regions of South Asia. He has chosen India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka for this purpose as these three countries have been mainly affected by ethnic conflict. In Bangla Desh and Nepal it has been largely absent so far or has not yet surfaced in violent form, if not altogether absent.
An attempt has been made to present representative cases of ethnic conflict from different regions though these cases can by no means be claimed as comprehensive. However, the material collected here can give a fairly good view of the ethnic conflict in these regions. The editor of the volume feels committed to the promotion of communal harmony through proper understanding of the problem and hence this volume has been prepared with a view to make people aware of this problem and its acientific understanding and consequent resolution of this conflict both on ideological as well as material plane.
