Summary/Abstract |
A long-standing research tradition on political culture argues that greater support for core liberal values leads to a rejection of destructive political activities and reduced support for violent politics. In this vein, many contemporary analysts of security policy contend that a lack of democratic values in the Middle East promotes the development of violent political organizations. Unfortunately, there have been few direct tests of the hypothesis that an individual's rejection of democratic values correlates with support for militant groups. We conduct such a test in Pakistan using an original 6,000-person provincially representative survey. We find that strong supporters of democratic values are actually more supportive of militant groups and that this relationship is strongest among those who believe that Muslim rights and sovereignty are being violated in Kashmir. This is consistent with the context of Pakistani politics, where many militant groups use the principle of azadi (i.e., freedom and self-determination) to justify their actions. These results challenge the conventional wisdom about the roots of militancy and underscore the importance of understanding how local context mediates the influence of civic culture on political stability and violence.

Summary/Abstract |
China does not need to go to war with India. Pakistan, at present, is satisfied with its strategy of proxy war against India. However, a limited two-front war into the future started by Pakistan in Northern Kashmir (Siachen) is not ruled out; Chinese involvement in it will be indirect with its asymmetrical capabilities. India's political and military leadership, unfortunately, has shown little appreciation of what it may be up against.
China accomplished the incredible by its three-week intrusion in April 2013 in Northern Ladakh against India. With mere 30 border guards, it did successful military coercion resulting in a total capitulation of India's political leadership. This showed a lack of understanding in Delhi of Chinese diplomacy where counter-coercion does not necessarily translate into war. Moreover, China which is pitted against the US for supremacy in Asia would stay away from a border war with India. However, its coercive diplomacy, especially one achieved with minimal show of strength, has provided numerous strategic gains to Beijing.

Summary/Abstract |
The credit for bringing the Human Rights issue into public consciousness
and making it a major concern of public interest in India goes ironically
to terrorism. With the outbreak of terrorism in Punjab in 1980s
necessitating large scale deployment of armed forces in aid of Police
and the emergence of public spirited individuals and groups ready to
take up cudgels on behalf of the victims of State excesses, the violations
of citizens' rights and liberties became a regular feature of law
enforcement. Before this, far greater atrocities committed by the police
and administration in dealing with the problems of interstate dacoity
and communal riots in various States and in fighting insurgency in the
North-East had failed to generate any significant reaction among the
general public. It is also worth noting that Pakistan could ultimately
succeed in internationalizing the Kashmir issue not on the strength of
its claims vis-Ã -vis ours but from the angle of the alleged human rights
violations by Security forces. It is thus clear that terrorism plays a
crucial role in determining the human rights discourse and shaping the
human rights record of a nation State.

Summary/Abstract |
The history of Indo-Pakistan relations is like a great puzzle and difficult to solve. It is really strange to trace that the relationship between the two countries are marked by differences and conflicts on almost every important issue. There is not a single issue where both the countries hold the same opinion. Records of history reveal the fact that India and Pakistan have invariably pursued paths which in essence were contradictory to each other and sometimes even ran counter to the dictates of logic and reality.

Summary/Abstract |
For a long time now Kashmir has been in a status quo in all respects. With a stalemate in peace process between India and Pakistan, Kashmir has been off the agenda, thus giving rise to moments of despair and disillusionment. The result of this discontentment is very much visible on the ground and even a musical concert; otherwise see, as a soothing intervention in a conflict state is shadowed under a barrage of criticism, Zubin Mehta did play with his musical magic in Shalimar garden but the massage that went out was the Kashmir and Kashmiris were not happy with a gesture, which they see strongly believe is to present Kashmir as "normal and peaceful".
