 | | If ethnic protest is expressed through such institutions as parliaments, assemblies, or government ministries or through non-violent street demonstrations, it takes the form of ethnic conflict but not ethnic violence. | | | Citing examples from India, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia, he argued that some states act in politically strategic, not legally correct, ways when addressing ethnic tension and violence. | | | Varshney agreed with Horowitz that creators of inter-ethnic organizations must focus on issues of common concern to the communities in conflict. |

| | Transmigration policies have often been at the root of conflicts in the region, especially in Indonesia and the Solomon Islands where violence has been linked to growing ethnic or religious differences and land disputes. | | | Displacement in northeast India reflects a situation where ethnic tensions arising from migrant influxes, land disputes and limited access to political or economic power has led to the emergence of secessionist movements, often using violent means to force certain populations on the move. | | | The Arab, Sunni Muslim government of Iraq has killed or displaced members of the ethnic Kurdish minority for decades, and its Anfal policy in the late 1980s has been qualified as genocide by Human Rights Watch. |

| | Ethnic Conflict, Federalism, and Democracy in India |
| | India has witnessed ethnic conflicts in the process of its historical evolution, and the leadership of independent India was conscious that while India presents the picture of "unity and diversity," the possibility of conflict between the "unity" and the "diversity" could not be ruled out. | | | India also bears witness to the fact that the precipitation and intensification of ethnic conflicts by cultural diversity is not a unilinear or irreversible process. | | | It is interesting to note that most of the ethnic conflicts are between one given ethnic group and the Union of India, as if there were no ethnic contradictions and incompatibilities between individual groups. |

| | As per the conventional wisdom on the subject, much of Indias contemporary ethnic conflict was a consequence of political perversion: that is, the decline of Nehruvian values identified in post-Nehruvian processes of centralisation, deinstitutionalisation, and political decay (p 39). | | | According to this conventional wisdom (i) ethnic identities in India were not primordial but constructed, permeable and contingent, (ii) ethnic groups selectively emphasised particular dimensions of their identity as appropriate, (iii) ethnic groups lacked cohesion, and (iv) the Indian state was secular and sought to foster political integration alongside a multicultural society. | | | He suggests that India be viewed as an ethnic democracy as against the prevalent assumption of India being a secular, multinational and plural democracy. |

| | In some cases, the term nationalism itself may not be used at all in what are referred to as ethnic or other "sub-national" conflicts, as is the case with many of the conflicts taking place inside of multinational countries such as India. | | | Jorgenson, Bent D.

| | In his book, "Ethnic Conflict and Civic Life: Hindus and Muslims in India," he shows that large-scale ethnic violence in India does not erupt spontaneously from the street, but from active action by political groups to polarize communities, with the help of criminal gangs associated with them. | | | Varshney's research shows that ethnic violence is localized, which means factors other than "ancient hatreds" (which should otherwise cut across India and keep it constantly burning) are at play. | | | The head priest of Akshardham, Shastri Narayan Swarupdas, said: "I appeal to all the people of Gujarat and India to maintain peace and unity in the wake of this national tragedy." |

| | ETHNIC CONFLICT IN SRI LANKA AND REGIONAL SECURITY |
| | India's intervention in the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka began as a genuinely mediatory role. | | | The history of ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka is the history of emergence of consciousness among the majority community, the Sinhala, which defined the Sri Lanka society as Sinhala-Buddhist, thus denying its multi-ethnic character. | | | India has always opposed this view, maintaining that issues between any two countries of the region could best be settled on a bilateral basis and not be allowed to cloud issues of regional co-operation. |

| | With his camera rarely far from the action, he became a chronicler of the darker side of Indian democracy by exposing the mistreatment of workers, the dangerous political implications of religious fundamentalism, the growing threats of nuclear testing, and the rising tide of ethnic and religious violence. | | | Winner of the International Critics Prize at the Sydney Film Festival, where it was recognized for its blending of crusading passion [and] intellectual rigor, War and Peace presents a timely exploration of the India-Pakistan conflict in Kashmir and the volatile admixture of religion, patriotism, and nuclear armament that underpins it. | | | Filmed over three tumultuous years in India, Pakistan, Japan, and the United States, this epic documentary is a journey that seeks out efforts for peace in the face of global militarism as it transforms the particulars of the conflict into a universal statement against violence and nationalism. |

| | Survey of Conflict & Resolution in India's Northeast - Ajai Sahni |
| | Internal conflicts in Indias Northeast are overwhelmingly conceptualised within the framework of unique ethnic identities that are threatened by, and in confrontation with, the nationalist state, which is often seen as a representative of an inchoate cultural mainstream. | | | Indias Northeast is the location of the earliest and longest lasting insurgency in the country, in Nagaland, where separatist violence commenced in 1952, as well as of a multiplicity of more recent conflicts that have proliferated, especially since the late 1970s. | | | Circumstances in the theatres of conflict in Indias Northeast go against the general presumption of a direct and self-evident conflict of interests between the government and its various agencies, on the one hand, and the terrorist groupings, on the other. |
