Ethnic tensions in South Asia are rarely out of the headlines. The region possibly has the greatest political, cultural, religious and ethnic diversity in the Third World and all the states in the region are facing separatist challenges from their sizeable ethnic groups. Given the complexity of factors behind the formation of separatist movements it is unsurprising that there remains much ignorance of and confusion about the underlying causes of apparently endless disputes over religion, language and territory. Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed presents a theoretical analysis and historical context for understanding current disputes in the region, examining theoretical origins of nationalism and the role of British colonialism. The theoretical and historical chapters are followed by empirical studies of disputes in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. Finally there is an assessment of the possibilities for stable regimes and democratic governments. This authoritative study will be of interest to anyone who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of the unrest in this turbulent region of the world.
