Radicalization in South Asia: Context, Trajectories and Implications ;presents a critical overview of radicalism, violence and terrorism in&nbsp;South Asia, a region that is diverse in terms of demography, religion,&nbsp;culture and political ideologies. While diversity could have worked as&nbsp;a push factor in strengthening democracies in the region, historically,&nbsp;fault lines in the South Asian faiths, culture, ethnicity, nationalism and political&nbsp;ideologies have triggered radical movements, and unleashed violence and terror&nbsp;attacks to destabilize democracies in the region.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Against the backdrop of the current wave of illiberalism and radicalism sweeping&nbsp;over the US, Europe, Middle East, Australia and Latin America, this book presents&nbsp;the most recent scenario of the context, trajectories and policy implications for&nbsp;radicalism, violence and terrorism in five South Asian countries including India,&nbsp;Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Maldives. It emphasizes the comparative&nbsp;insights provided by the changing values of South Asian society to offer a&nbsp;comprehensive picture of radicalization in this region.<br />
