About Book

The book examines the rise of extremist groups in South Asia, including jihadists in Pakistan and the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. It challenges the common perception that extremism in the region is primarily driven by ethnic and religious factors, arguing instead that political dynamics, inter-state relations, and international influences play a more significant role. The author analyzes various case studies, such as Kashmir, Afghanistan, Northeast India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the causes and manifestations of extremism in South Asia.
