Ethnicity, Security, and Separatism in India

By: Maya Chadda

A hallmark of Indian politics, ethnic tension have escalated dramatically since the 1980s, endangering India's unity as a sovereign democracy. Although a succession of governments has attempted to resolve them, these conflicts have weakened India's role as the dominant power in the region. This work examines the connections between internal and external policy and explores the ways in which domestic tensions, particularly arising from ethnic and sectarian heterogenity, shape India's role in the region. The book studies movements in Punjab, Kashmir and Tamil Nadu, which escalated throughout the 1980s and influenced India's relations with Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It argues that India does not seek hegemony in South Asia; instead it acts to protect its nation-building efforts from similar problems faced by neighbouring countries. Paradoxically, this goal requires India to intervene in neighbouring countries ethnic conflicts.

Why India Matters

By: Maya Chadda

Why is India¿s rise on the world stage so controversial? How can a state that is losing authority to its regions at the same time grow in international importance? Exploring an apparent paradox, Maya Chadda shows how culture, politics, wealth, and policy have combined to forge a distinctive Indian path to power, both nationally and in the international arena.

The Promise of Power

The Origins of Democracy in India and Autocracy in Pakistan

By: Maya Tudor

Under what conditions are some developing countries able to create stable democracies while others have slid into instability and authoritarianism? To address this classic question at the center of policy and academic debates, The Promise of Power investigates a striking puzzle: why, upon the 1947 Partition of British India, was India able to establish a stable democracy while Pakistan created an unstable autocracy? Drawing on interviews, colonial correspondence, and early government records to document the genesis of two of the twentieth century's most celebrated independence movements, Maya Tudor refutes the prevailing notion that a country's democratization prospects can be directly attributed to its levels of economic development or inequality. Instead, she demonstrates that the differential strengths of India's and Pakistan's independence movements directly account for their divergent democratization trajectories. She also establishes that these movements were initially constructed to pursue historically conditioned class interests. By illuminating the source of this enduring contrast, The Promise of Power offers a broad theory of democracy's origins that will interest scholars and students of comparative politics, democratization, state-building, and South Asian political history.

Ethnicity, Security, and Separatism in India

By: Maya Chadda

Ethnicity, Security, and Separatism in India examines the connections between internal and external policy and the ways in which domestic ethnic conflicts shape a state's international security perceptions and policies. Chadda focuses on three ethnonationalisms and their international dimensions: Kashmir and Punjab in India-Pakistan relations and the Tamil issue in India-Sri Lanka relations. Chadda shows that India does not seek hegemony in South Asia; instead, it acts to protect its nation-building efforts from problems faced by neighboring countries. Paradoxically, this goal requires India to intervene in neighboring ethnic conflicts and impinge upon state boundaries and sovereignty. In an age of attempts at ethnic cleansing and brutal civil war, Chadda offers a powerful critique of cultural and territorial nationalism, using the Indian experience to draw conclusions about other ethnic conflicts and the hazards they pose to regional and global stability.
