Internal Security in India - Violence, Order, and the State

In Internal Security in India, Amit Ahuja, Devesh Kapur, and a cast of leading scholars on the subject focus on India''s security and the threats it faces, including insurgencies, terrorist attacks, caste and communal violence, riots, and electoral violence. As the contributors in this volume analyze how the Indian State has managed the core concern of internal security over time, they address these questions: How well has India controlled violence and preserved order? How have the approaches and capacity of the State evolved to attain these twin objectives? And what implications do the State''s approach towards internal security have for civil liberties and the quality of democracy?
