The global scenario has increasingly witnessed conflicts within the confines of national boundary with external linkages. Conflict resolution by means of force has proved a failure and nations increasingly realise the impending necessity of dialogue and reconciliation in the era of globalisation, science and technology and sophisticated weapons. The rising menace of terrorism has become an issue of global concern that needs to be addressed. However, the humanitarian dimensions of conflict, often overshadowed by politics, should not be neglected. In post-cold war scenario, conflict in Kashmir and Chechnya has become a matter of common concern as both are affected with the rise of twin forces of religious fundamentalism and terrorism. These forces have posed challenges to multi-ethnic and pluralistic characters of India and Russia, thus bringing them on a common platform to tackle the menace. The onset of violent conflicts has not only resulted in mass flight of innocent people from their native places but has also proved a humanitarian disaster as these uprooted people are a neglected lot. Women have suffered doubly because of their vulnerability as well as due to their various other experiences in conflict which often remain unnoticed. Amidst the culture of violence the common people lack neutral space to lead a normal life. The study is timely and significant. Being first of its kind, as there is no work on Kashmir and Chechnya in a comparative framework, the book bears special significance as it also highlights the humanitarian dimensions of the conflict situation. Written in a communicative style, this comprehensive work on developments in Kashmir and Chechnya will be of interest to a wide readership including scholars, human rights activists, journalists, policy makers and every one interested in conflict and peace.
