Nation Gender and Cultures of Violence

This book is an attempt to study the trajectories and workings of ''othering'' within the framework of the Nation-State specifically the Indian Nation-State. It is interesting to understand the positioning of the ''Indian Muslim'' as an ''other'' who has to prove his/her loyalty unlike the dominant subject of the Indian Nation-State. A closer observation of situations and events today suggests a presence of more than a religious shade to this aspect of ''othering''.
