Emerging Technologies and Southern Asian Nuclear Deterrence
Examining NFU – lessons from Southern Asia
The concept of NFU has been around for many decades, but only two of the nine nuclear armed nations have declared NFU doctrines. Both of these China and India, are in Southern Asia, a region that houses three geographically contiguous states with nuclear weapons. Pakistan, the third nuclear armed country in the region, rejects NFU. The paper examines the disparate positions of the three countries in order to find their motivations for and objecti…
Jainism in Danger? Temple entry and the rhetoric of religion and reform in post-colonial India
A bitter debate broke out in the Digambar Jain community in the middle of the twentieth century following the passage of the Bombay Harijan Temple Entry Act in 1947, which continued until well after the promulgation of the Untouchability (Offences) Act 1955. These laws included Jains in the definition of 'Hindu', and thus threw open the doors of Jain temples to formerly Untouchable castes. In the eyes of its Jain opponents, this was a frontal and…
Ritual death in a secular state
The Rajasthan High Court criminalized the Jain practice of ritual voluntary death, variously termed sallekhana or santhara in 2015. The petition that sought its criminalization, and the court judgment were both framed in the language of religious reform and invoked judicial memory of sati. The Jain defenders of the practice, insisted on its difference from sati on the one hand, and suicide and euthanasia on the other, which too continued to remai…
Identity, community and the state
For a long time, the study of Jainism, and Jains, followed one of the two models: the first viewed Jainism as a ‘poor sister’ or to use Louis Renou’s phrase, ‘darker reflection’ of Buddhism; the se
Communities and Courts
One of the key characteristics of the modern condition is an increasing fetishization and reification of law, whereby it has come to be the hegemonic framework for asserting one’s claims and rights in an ever-increasing spectrum of everyday matters. Law becomes the vehicle by which religion is to be reformed and made consistent with modern values, and the mode too by which faith asserts its autonomy over its domain, repels attempts to regulate an…
US Nuclear Posture Review 2018
The latest NPR released in 2018 under the watch of President Trump, unabashedly echoes the sentiment of America First. Many nuclear war-fighting issues and concepts that had been settled in the past after having been experimented with and discarded for the risks they carried have yet again been adopted by the current NPR. But, America’s sole focus on its own security alone could end up creating more security dilemmas for the US, and others. This …
Can Pakistan's Nuclear Dangers be ‘Normalised’
A nuclear deal such as Pakistan's military and diplomatic elites have demanded for years would make them more, not less, risk-prone
The Indo-Canadian nuclear relationship
Canada was among the first countries to participate in India’s nuclear power program. Not only was CIRUS the first research reactor to be built in India with outside help; it was also Canada’s first reactor export and marked a breakthrough for its nuclear industry. But the nuclear relationship foundered when India conducted a peaceful nuclear explosion in 1974. Differences over non-proliferation and Cold War considerations kept India and Canada a…
Heterogeneities
This is a collection of essays, occasioned at different times and in differing contexts, ostensibly addressing varying themes: from the story of Pradip Kumar Datta's University teacher and his less
Chastity and desire
This article explores the Jain construction of womanhood. It analyses how this construction is on the one hand different from Brahminical models, and how on the other it reiterates some of the more common paradigms of Brahmanism. While Brahminical texts have emphasized women's religiosity in their roles as householders, Jainism is distinguished by its recognition of women as independent spiritual agents with the capacity for renunciation and salv…
Export Controls in India
The article undertakes a generic examination of the global change in understanding export controls with the end of the Cold War and in the wake of new threats of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation to and by non-state actors. These have necessitated a more inclusive approach to export controls. India, which until now has been outside such regimes, has a special significance since it is a major user, producer and trader of dual-use ite…
