Zusammenfassung:With a new introduction covering events between 1985 and 1992, including the destruction of the mosque at Ayodhya, this book analyzes the secessionist crisis in Punjab which led to Indira Gandni's murder and examines larger themes of ethnic conflict and threats to Indian unity. In varying degrees, the innovations that pervaded Punjab in the 1970s are penetrating all of India, changing patterns of communication, shaping ideas about the past and creating grand aspirations for the future. The new introduction links the Punjab example to recent "communal" disputes and considers the domestic implications for India of a world in which "socialism" and "non-alignment" have lost much of their meaning.
