Listening to the voices of people who experience political violence—either as victims or as perpetrators—gives new insights into both the sources of violent conflict and the potential for its resolution. Drawing on her extensive interviews and conversations with Sikh militants, Cynthia Keppley Mahmood presents their accounts of the human rights abuses inflicted on them by the state of India as well as their explanations of the philosophical tradition of martyrdom and meaningful death in the Sikh faith. While demonstrating how divergent the world views of participants in a conflict can be, Fighting for Faith and Nation gives reason to hope that our essential common humanity may provide grounds for a pragmatic resolution of conflicts such as the one in Punjab which has claimed tens of thousands of lives in the past fifteen years.Series in contemporary ethnography.SikhsPolitics and governmentHuman rightsIndiaPunjabSikhismPunjab (India)Politics and governmentElectronic books.SikhsPolitics and government.Human rightsSikhism.954.91/4/00882946Mahmood Cynthia Keppley1049741MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454918903321Fighting for faith and nation2479001UNINA01321nas 2200457- 450 991048200050332120220510213022.02509-7954(OCoLC)1020701111(CKB)3710000001041148(CONSER)--2019205688(DE-599)ZDB2882268-7(EXLCZ)99371000000104114820180129a20179999 --- aengur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAsia-Pacific journal of regional science[Singapore]Springer Singapore[2017]-1 online resource2509-7946 Asia-Pac. j. reg. sci.ScienceAsiaPeriodicalsSciencePacific AreaPeriodicalsSciencesAsiePériodiquesSciencesPacifique, Région duPériodiquesSciencefast(OCoLC)fst01108176AsiafastPacific AreafastPeriodicals.fastScienceScienceSciencesSciencesScience.JOURNAL9910482000503321Asia-Pacific journal of regional science2582755UNINA
