Summary: General Parvez Musharraf's coup in Pakistan is a clear indication that South Asia will remain an area of instability in the world, with its epicentre in India's volatile and irresponsible neighbour. This makes the task of understanding existing and emerging sources of strife in the region all the more urgent. In this volume of FAULTLINES, K.P.S. Gill explores a future where weapons of mass destruction and other devastating technological innovations are married to the mujahiddeen mindset. Lt. Gen. S.K. Pillai discovers the roots of strife in Nagaland in the state's inability to understand a people's quest to define their ethnicity and identity. In another paper focusing on India's troubled Northeast, V.S. Jafa fixes the limits of the use and abuse of military force. And two papers examine the ailing Indian justice system: M.L. Sharma emphasises the ills of justice delayed; and Dr. S. Sanyal examines the conflict and ambiguity that characterises attitudes towards terrorism among law enforcement officials.
