The workshop was organized by the Swiss Peace Foundation's early warning unit FAST (Early Recognition of Tension and Fact Finding) and brought together scholars, local experts, and representatives of NGOs dealing with the South Asian region. FAST's main objective is the early recognition of impending or potential crisis situations for the purpose of early action towards the prevention of armed conflict and – if given – seizing opportunities for peace building. Combined with a collection of statistic evidence and systematic monitoring of conflictive and cooperative events, the present Country Risk Profile is part of FAST's early warning methodology linking early warning and early action by relevant decision makers. FAST is mandated by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The case studies on Afghanistan (Rahimullah Yusufzai), India (Navnita Chadha Behera) and Pakistan (I.A. Rehman) shed light on the various political, socio-economic and demographic causes of specific ongoing conflicts in the South Asian region. 2 Prospects for Conflict and Peace 1. Executive Summary The nature and character of the Indian nation-state has rested on three key pillars of democracy, secularism and federalism. While Nehru secured constitutional subordination of sub-national identities, Mrs. Gandhi sought their submergence into a pan-Indian identity, resulting in several violent regional movements. The Congress strategy of politicizing religion to electoral ends was exploited by the BJP to articulate Indian nationalism driven by the ideology of Hindutva. The recent series of attacks on Christian minorities, against this backdrop, have been analyzed to show that religion is being used as a convenient tool to divert attention from deeper political and economic struggles. The key political features in the current evolution of Indian nation- state pertain to the growing demand and creation of new states, steps towards multi-level governance and regionalization of political forces. At the same time, India continues to be rocked by several secessionist movements along with caste, class and agrarian violence. The armed conflicts in Jammu & Kashmir and the North-East region continue to simmer. A peace process is underway that may not be buried despite various difficult obstacles it faces. Development induced displacement of millions of people because of big dams and its implications for leading to new social conflicts have been addressed. In the external realm, the border tensions between India and Bangladesh resulting in skirmishes and killing of soldiers as well as civilians have been discussed. More importantly, the scenario of another “Kargil” or “mini-war”, arising out of miscalculation, between India and Pakistan cannot be completely ruled out. This logic extends to the nuclear realm, although there are several factors such as economic constraints, ambiguity about the current status of nuclear weaponization and growing international pressure especially from the USA, militate against such a possibility. The paper maps a vibrant nuclear debate regarding India’s proposed nuclear posture, doctrine and size and structure of its proposed nuclear arsenal. 3 Prospects for Conflict and Peace 2. Policy Recommendations The policy recommendations are addressed to three broad sets of actors: the Indian government, the civil society players and institutions within India and, the international community. 2.1. The Domestic Arena The policy recommendations in the domestic arena are primarily for the most critical set of players—the Indian government, that is, the central government in New Delhi as well as the relevant state governments and the key non-state actors such as militant groups. With regard to Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government must clearly spell out the agenda and the mandate of the K.C. Pant mission in terms of its scope, substance and proposed strategy. The central government’s initiative to begin the dialogue process with different segments of the Kashmiri society is a welcome step in the right direction. This should be further broad-based to include political leaders and representatives of other communities such as Kashmiri Pandits, Dogras, Paharis, Gujjars, Ladakhi Buddhists and Shia Muslims of Kargil region in J&K. The government should also facilitate a dialogue between the Kashmiri groups across the Line of Control. New Delhi should allow the Hurriyat leaders to visit Pakistan to pave the way for their inclusion into the dialogue process. The All-Party Hurriyat Conference, in return, should drop its pre-condition of being accepted as the sole spokesman of Kashmiris. They have yet to establish their credentials as the true representatives of Kashmiris and considering they are fighting for Kashmiris’ right of self-determination, they cannot in principle usurp the rights of other political groups (e.g Shabir Shah led Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party) and militant outfits’ direct participation in the dialogue process, leave alone the rights of Jammuites and Ladakhis whom they do not even claim to represent. Farooq Abdullah’s government needs to undertake serious measures to improve the quality of governance in the state. The restoration of a democratically elected government has done little to redress popular grievances and urgent steps are needed to rectify the situation. 4 Prospects for Conflict and Peace Both the central and state government need to revive the agenda of autonomy. The former needs to clarify and revise its stand on the recommendations of the State Autonomy Commission while the latter should initiate a state-wide debate on the recommendations of the Regional Autonomy Commission. A similar set of measures needs to be undertaken in the North-East region. These include improving the quality of governance and sanitizing the political processes to break the grid of links between the state governments and militant groups. The central and state governments need to seriously and squarely address the issue of influx of foreigners and outsiders that has

  • Khalistan & Kashmir: a Tale of Two Conflicts
    123 Matthew Webb: Khalistan & Kashmir Khalistan & Kashmir: A Tale of Two Conflicts Matthew J. Webb Petroleum Institute _______________________________________________________________ While sharing many similarities in origin and tactics, separatist insurgencies in the Indian states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir have followed remarkably different trajectories. Whereas Punjab has largely returned to normalcy and been successfully re-integrated into India’s political and economic framework, in Kashmir diminished levels of violence mask a deep-seated antipathy to Indian rule. Through a comparison of the socio- economic and political realities that have shaped the both regions, this paper attempts to identify the primary reasons behind the very different paths that politics has taken in each state. Employing a distinction from the normative literature, the paper argues that mobilization behind a separatist agenda can be attributed to a range of factors broadly categorized as either ‘push’ or ‘pull’. Whereas Sikh separatism is best attributed to factors that mostly fall into the latter category in the form of economic self-interest, the Kashmiri independence movement is more motivated by ‘push’ factors centered on considerations of remedial justice. This difference, in addition to the ethnic distance between Kashmiri Muslims and mainstream Indian (Hindu) society, explains why the politics of separatism continues in Kashmir, but not Punjab. ________________________________________________________________ Introduction Of the many separatist insurgencies India has faced since independence, those in the states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir have proven the most destructive and potent threats to the country’s territorial integrity. Ostensibly separate movements, the campaigns for Khalistan and an independent Kashmir nonetheless shared numerous similarities in origin and tactics, and for a brief time were contemporaneous.

N. SUBSAHNANYAN DEPARTMENT Of POLITICAL SCIENCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALI6ARH (INDIA) The thesis "Development of Regional Politics in India : A Study of Coalition of Political Parties in Uttar Pradesh" is an attempt to analyse the multifarious dimensions, actions and interactions of the politics of regionalism in India and the coalition politics in Uttar Pradesh. The study in general tries to comprehend regional awareness and consciousness in its content and form in the Indian sub-continent, with a special study of coalition politics in UP., which of late has presented a picture of chaos, conflict and crise-cross, syndrome of democracy. Regionalism is a manifestation of socio-economic and cultural forces in a large setup. It is a psychic phenomenon where a particular part faces a psyche of relative deprivation. It also involves a quest for identity projecting one's own language, religion and culture. In the economic context, it is a search for an intermediate control system between the centre and the peripheries for gains in the national arena. The study begins with the analysis of conceptual aspect of regionalism in India. It also traces its historical roots and examine the role played by Indian National Congress. The phenomenon of regionalism is a pre-independence problem which has got many manifestation after independence. It is also asserted that regionalism is a complex amalgam of geo-cultural, economic, historical and psychic factors.

  • Mapping the 'Khalistan' Movement, 1930-1947: an Overview
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 55, Issue No. 1(January - June, 2018) Samina Iqbal * Rukhsana Yasmeen** Kalsoom Hanif *** Ghulam Shabir **** Mapping the ‘Khalistan’ Movement, 1930-1947: An overview Abstract This study attempts to understand the struggle of the Sikhs of the Punjab, during the colonial period (1930-1947), for their separate home-land- Khalistan, which to date have been an unfinished agenda. They still feel they have missed the train by joining hands with the Congress Party. There is strong feeling sometime it comes out in shape of upsurge of freedom of moments in the East Punjab. Therefore it is important to understand what was common understanding of the Sikh about the freedom struggle and how they reacted to national movements and why they filed to achieve a separate homeland-Khalistan. The problem is that the Sikh demands have so been ignored by the British government of India and His Majesty’s Government in England. These demands were also were not given proper attention by the Government of Punjab, Muslim leadership and Congress. Although the Sikhs had a voice in the politics and economic spheres their numerical distribution in the Punjab meant that they were concerted in any particular areas. Therefore they remained a minority and could only achieve a small voting strength under separate electorates. The other significant factor working against the Sikh community was that the leadership representing was factionalized and disunited, thus leading to a lack of united representation during the freedom struggle and thus their demand for the creation of a Sikh state could not become a force to reckon.
