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. 410 0$aSeries in contemporary ethnography. 606 $aSikhs$xPolitics and government 606 $aHuman rights$zIndia$zPunjab 606 $aSikhism 607 $aPunjab (India)$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSikhs$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aSikhism. 676 $a954.91/4/00882946 700 $aMahmood$b Cynthia Keppley$01049741 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454918903321 996 $aFighting for faith and nation$92479001 997 $aUNINA
