Bidisha Biswas explores the question of how a democratic state chooses between policies of coercion and accommodation when dealing with political violence by addressing an important, yet under examined, topic—India’ approach to internal conflicts. In Managing Conflicts in India, Biswas selects three cases of conflict: the separatist campaign in Punjab during the 1980s; the protracted insurgency in Kashmir; and attacks on the Indian state by left-wing extremists, also known as Maoists and Naxalites, a campaign that has existed in different forms since the 1960s. Using archival research and fieldwork, Biswas shows that the Indian state has chosen a mix of tactics in dealing with these insurgencies. She argues that the government’s responses have often been dictated by immediate political concerns, rather than a strategic vision. While the integrity of the Indian state remains intact, its democratic quality and credibility have been seriously compromised. By focusing on the choices—and missteps—that the Indian government has made, Biswas sheds light not only on the insurgencies themselves, but also on the overall processes that impact effective conflict management.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Scholarly, yet very easy to read
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2014
    Global news is full of stories about insurgencies, extremists and rebel groups in countries all over the world, and I'm sure many of us wonder why governments often can't seem to get on top of them. This book helps us understand why that task is not so easy for democratic governments. By looking critically at the roots of internal conflicts in India and the primary (and often limited) options that democratic governments have to respond to these conflicts, Dr Biswas helps makes sense of the complex world of insurgencies for those of us without a PhD in international relations. Shortly after I read this book, I went to Nigeria and what I learned from this book gave me a more nuanced understanding of Nigeria's conflict with Boko Haram that went beyond the surface, stereotyped media coverage.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An insightful and enlightening in-depth analysis of separatist movements in the world's largest democracy
    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2014
    Dr. Biswas expertly explains to a Western audience the internal dynamics of the world's largest democracy on its response to separatist movements. Readers with a detailed understanding of Indian politics, as well as political scientists who focus on international relations related to India, will find her case studies of Kashmir, Punjab, and Naxalite movements. Dr. Biswas offers a well written, well-research, book with a prose style that reads more like a general audience book over an academic title, despite detailed citations. I would highly recommend this book for any number of business and international relations professionals with (1) an interest in understanding how the Indian government responds to internal threats, and (2) to Western security professionals looking to gain pointers from a country that has been dealing with terrorism longer than the West has been.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and engagingly written
    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2014
    This is an extremely well written and engaging book. Through the lens of three major areas of conflict, Biswas ends up giving us a very useful and insightful overview of Indian Polity and Politics in general. Extremely accessible prose makes it a must read for anyone who is interested in India, not just people who study conflict. Interesting insider details about the people and personalities makes it engaging reading for the lay reader. In fact it is hard to put down once you start reading.
