Even though it has a common cultural background and shared political experience many groups have been fiercely fighting challenging the national governments and frustrating their nation-building efforts such as in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. The negative effects of ongoing ethnic conflicts, civil wars, communal and political violence, terrorism, counter terrorism, religious extremism, militarization, violation of human rights, unresolved inter state and intra-state conflicts, and subversive economic activities are more visible today then ever before. In this context the role of Jawaharlal Nehru to promote peace in South Asia deserves special attention. Apart from its careful handling of India's tumultuous domestic situation during the years immediately after Independence in 1947, Nehru's major contribution lies in the field of foreign policy of the country. However post Nehruvian era has witnessed dramatic changes in India's foreign policy with South Asia emerging as a crisis region in the world.This book contains 13 scholarly research papers which provide deep insights into divergent issues/concerns in South Asia in the background of Nehruvian vision of peace and co-operation in the region.

The Palestine Question has been at the center of the West Asian politics since the creation of state of Israel in 1948. It was the worst case of denial of basic human rights to indigenous people in the twentieth century. In fact the creation of the state of Israel was made possible through the British American Imperialist Colonial Intrigues which led to the massive emigration of Jews from different parts of the world to Palestine State. As a result Palestine was disappeared from the world map in 1948 and since then thousands of Palestinians have been living in refugee camps in neighbouring Arab countries in a most depressed condition for more than 55 years. The Palestinian Resistance Movements have been waging an unremitting struggle for their basic rights including the creation of Independent State of Palestine and the right of return to their homeland. The dominant states of the world having played different roles in the making of the problem responded differently to the basic demands of the Palestinians. The case of the former Soviet Union is perhaps more glaring given the fact that it had long been committed to the cause of the oppressed peoples all over the world. The perspectives of the Bolshevik Leaders in respect of the national and colonial question were fundamental to the making of the Soviet policy towards the Middle East in the post revolutionary era. However since the Post Second World War period the Soviet Policies towards the Palestine question had been dictated by its Cold War politics. Hence it supported the move for the creation to the state of Israel by setting aside its fundamental principles regarding the oppressed peoples. After few years the Soviet Leaders realized their mistakes and showed its sympathy and support to the cause of the Palestinians in an ambiguous line. The disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the end of Cold War politics in the Middle East and the Palestinian Movements were succumbed to the US mediation for the peace in the region and finally to signing of the Oslo Accord in 1993. However this new Colonial Plot was well realized by many Palestinians and it triggered off more violent agitations by the fresh wave of Palestinian Movements out of their frustration and distress. Although they were branded as terrorist organizations by the US and the West the objective for which they are fighting has its own significance. At the same time Russia as successor of the Soviet Union without any solid principles to support the oppressed classes took Pro Western Line of Thinking. Now the Palestinians are continuing their fight for their just cause without the support of any major powers. 244 pp.

In the twenty-first century, West Asia is moving in different directions-politically, culturally and economically-with far-reaching consequences for global peace and security. On the one side, political change through Arab Spring uprooted many authoritarian regimes and brought democratic elements in West Asian polity while on the other side instability and uncertainty continue to challenge many countries like Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Lebanon. Religious fundamentalism assumed new twist with the rise of forces like ISS that triggered a wave of violence in many West Asian countries and other parts of the world. Insecurity has resulted in millions of refugees in West Asia to seek migration to Europe and other parts of the world. The global powers, which spoiled the peace and prosperity of the region through colonialism and imperialism, show least interest in the present West Asia imbroglio. Most of the turmoil in West Asia is linked with its history and culture. It is not possible to address the deep-seated problems involved in the social transformation in these countries through overthrow of old regimes. These countries need more political and economic stability with popular participation. However, mistrust and uncertainties are threatening peace and security in the region. This book contains 13 articles by leading West Asian scholars on different dimensions of the geo-political scenario of the region.
