Managing Conflicts in India: Policies of Coercion and Accommodation
In managing violent rebellions, democracies must often choose between coercion and accommodation. As the world鈥檚 largest democracy, India is no stranger to this trade-off: it has struggled over the past several decades to address several domestic insurgencies.
A new book by Bidisha Biswas addresses India鈥檚 approach to internal conflicts. Biswas will look at Punjab, Kashmir, and the Naxalite鈥揗aoist conflict and explore the challenges and choices facing multiethnic democracies.
