Hardcover. Condition: New. The Buddha, Ashoka, Gandhithe three greatest Indians who ever livedwere emblematic of non-violence. Yet, paradoxically, their country of origin is one of the most violent places on earth. Do 'we, the people of India' have violence in our bones? This work explores different aspects of our society to answer the question. Despite a blood-soaked Partition coupled with many other challenges that all emerging democracies have had to negotiate, India's record in upholding the democratic values enshrined in its Constitution has been impressive. Yet, violence remains an inextricable part of everyday life. Parts of the country are rocked by 'low-intensity' operations against various insurgencies. Our society is also scarred by caste violence, communal riots, and viciousness against women, children, the transgender community, and minorities. The country's large size, a highly differentiated population, uneven economic development, linguistic differences, regional imbalances, class and caste hierarchies, the politicizing of religious identities, appropriation of tribal lands, agrarian distress, joblessness, poverty, and deep inequality all breed frustration. Violence underlies almost every social and political interaction within Indian society, from the violence of everyday life to the brutal actions of the state or those ranged against the state. The Violence in Our Bones maps the assorted kinds of violence in India, and explores why, even as a successful democracy, violence continues to be endemic in the nation.…

"This book revisits the idea of secularism and explores the reasons for its apparent inability to bridge divisions in Indian society. The author argues that the rise of majoritarianism has precipitated the need to move beyond the current understanding of secularism in order to effectively protect minority identities. Chandhoke exposes the theoretical shortcomings of secularism and examines its relation to normative political ideas such as democracy, equality, and rights. This book is a vital contribution to the public discourse on minority rights and is essential for political scientists, sociologists, philosophers, and students of political theory and Indian politics.".…
