Uncivil Wars: Pathology of Terrorism in India

by Ved Marwah

Terrorism continues to pose a serious threat to India's security in Jammu & Kashmir and the North East, and it is not entirely over even in Punjab. The book traces the genesis of terrorist movements and has analysed how extremist violence has taken deep roots in the Indian polity. He has drawn on his personal experience to highlight the many facets of terrorism in India. The first-hand account of the handling of the Rubaiya Sayeed and Dorraiswamy kidnapping cases in Jammu & Kashmir and Operation Black Thunder in Punjab make for compelling reading.
