Beyond Othering

A Gandhian Approach to Conflict Resolution in India and Pakistan

By: Debidatta Aurobinda Mahapatra,Seema Shekhawat

Mohandas K. Gandhi opposed the 1947 partition of British India that created two independent states of India and Pakistan, as he believed that partition politics, rooted in the psychology of othering, would turn South Asia into a near permanent conflict zone. His apprehension was not without basis. The psychology of othering that engendered partition continues to manifest itself in multiple ways, including, but not limited to, interstate wars and communal violence. It permeates not only politics at a higher level but also everyday life. In exploring partition and post-partition developments in South Asia in this interdisciplinary work, Mahapatra and Shekhawat argue for a Gandhian approach to transform the conflict landscape in South Asia. The authors illustrate how Gandhian principles of multicultural belonging and pluralism are key to resolving conflicts not just in South Asia but across the world. Beyond Othering is a timely and relevant contribution to the discourse on conflict resolution, making it essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in peacebuilding in the region and beyond.

Kashmir Across Loc

By: Debidatta Aurobinda Mahapatra,Seema Shekhawat

The book fulfillss a need to have a fresh look at the hitherto neglected aspects of Kashmir conflict viz. the developments in Kashmir across LOC. Pakistan s policy towards POK is characterized by not only ambiguity and contradiction but also domination and exploitation. Its claim to support Kashmir s right to self-determination is contrasted by the ideology of POK s accession. Any final solution of Kashmir imbroglio must take into account the realities across the line of control.

Female Combatants in Conflict and Peace

Challenging Gender in Violence and Post-Conflict Reintegration

By: Seema Shekhawat

This edited volume illuminates the role of women in violence to demonstrate that gender is a key component of discourse on conflict and peace. Through an examination of theory and practice of women's participation in violent conflicts, the book makes the argument that both conflict and post-conflict situations are gender insensitive.

Women and Borders

Refugees, Migrants and Communities

By: Seema SShekhawat,Emmanuela C. Del Re

Borders - whether settled or contested, violent or calm, closed or open - may have a direct, and often acute, human impact. Those affected may be people living nearby, those attempting to cross them and even those who succeed in doing so. At the border, vulnerable refugee and migrant communities, especially women, are exposed to state-centred boundary practices, paving the way for both their alienation and exploitation. The militarization of borders subjugates the very position of women in these marginalized areas and often subjects them to further victimization, which is facilitated by patriarchal socio-cultural practice. Structural violence is endemic to these regions and gender interlocks with their perimeters to reinforce and shape violence. This book locates gender and violence along geographical edges and critically examines the gendered experiences of women as global border residents and border crossers. Broadly, it explores two questions. First, what are women's experiences of engaging with borders? Second, where are women positioned in the theory and practice of marking, remarking and demarking these margins? Offering a nuanced and thorough approach, this book suggests that research on borders and violence needs to focus on how bordered violence shapes the embodiment of gender identity and norms and how they are challenged. It examines an array of issues including forced migration, trafficking and cross-border ties to explore how gender and borders intersect."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
