Periods of Military Conflict, Periods of Peace
This article generalises the conditions under which the China–India relationship descends into periods of military conflict or attains periods of peace. Adapting from existing scholarship, the article proposes three conditions that govern the occurrence of periods of military conflicts: political and military assertions of territorial claims, tacit support for separatism in either country, and competition for influence in South Asia. Through a co…
Social Stratification and Movement Trajectory in the Kudankulam Anti-nuclear Movement
This article generates a framework for understanding the impact of socio-economic stratification within a social movement on the movement’s trajectory. Based on existing literature (particularly Varigonda, 2020), it hypothesizes that socio-economic stratification impacts a movement’s trajectory by influencing the politicization of state policy, the strength of a movement’s action repertoires and the openness of state input structures. This is the…
Theorizing social movements against the Indian state’s developmental paradigm
This paper studies the impact of social movements on the Indian state’s developmental paradigm. Adopting from Varigonda’s (2020) framework, the paper argues that the impact of social movements on state policy and its implementation is primarily determined by three key factors: the collective action repertoires of social movements; the politicization of the Indian state’s developmental paradigm; and the openness of state input structures. This fra…
Maximum Autonomy with Divided Sovereignty”
The Kashmir conflict, ongoing for over seventy years, is no closer to a resolution. The separatist insurgency that had emerged in the late 1980s, along with attendant military action, has claimed over 50,000 lives till date. However, the three major parties to the conflict, the Indian state, the Pakistani state and the Kashmiri separatist movement continue to have mutually-intractable positions. How might these positions be reconciled? Eqbal Ahma…
Social movements against Hindutva
This paper analyses the impact of social movements on the Indian state’s support for cow protection vigilantism, which forms a key aspect of its adherence to the Hindutva ideology. Adopting Varigonda’s framework, the paper argues that the movement’s impact is determined by its collective action repertoires, politicisation of its affiliated identity and openness of state input structures. The paper tests this framework through a comparative study …
