Is the undeclared war in Kargil over, or has it just begun? And within the context of the tides of violence that constantly sweep across South Asia, was this a major crisis, or just a minor skirmish? Faultlines takes an analytical look at some of the new confrontations in the sub-continent, and at others that have persisted for decades.

General Parvez Musharraf's coup in Pakistan is a clear indication that South Asia will remain an areas of instability in the world, with its epicentre in India's volatile and irresponsible neighbour. This makes the task of understanding existing and emerging sources of strife in the region all the more urgent.

Had there been any illusion that the new millennium would bring an age of peace and harmony to the Indian sub-continent, these were dispelled both by the circumstances in which the last year ended, and the way the new one began. Whatever little margine for hope may have existed after the hijacking of IC-814 on Christmas Eve last, it soon gave way to a series of devastating attacks in Jammu & Kashmir on security forces' installations and personnel, by the fidayeen and suicide squads of Pakistan-backed militants and mercenaries. The sense of the collapse of the Indian State's institutional response structures was reinforced again and again, beginning with the handling of the hijack, through the humiliating denouement at Kandahar on New Year Eve, down to each succeeding attack on heavily guarded military, para-military and police camps and establishments in J&K.

The past year has been one of both remarkable successes against terroirsm in South Asia, and of considerable and tragic failures. In Sri Lanka, even as the world's hopes of a peaceful resolution rose with the prospects of mediation, critical military reverses for the Government in the Jaffna peninsula inflicted huge losses of life, and pushed the prospects of peace far into an uncertain future. In India, it has been a traumatic time for Kashmir, but significant gains havebeen registered in the Northeast. Disturbing signs are emerging in Nepal, with escalating violence by Maoist 'revolutionaries'.

Any permanent solution to the problem of terrorism demands a clear understanding, not only of the immediate ground situation and the proximate alignment of forces, but of the larger context of each crisis and of teh imperatives of history. The present volume explores the deeper linkages of a variety of conflicts in the South Asian region.

National perspectives on counter-terrorism are proving increasingly inadequate in confronting the growing magnitude and complexity of the threat of terrorism. The mobility and lethality of terrorist groups has enormously augmented and there has been an exponential increase in the support systems and contacts among terrorist groups, transcending all conventional political boundaries. The cross-border movement of populations compounds this problem even further, as does the use of narcotics to underwrite the costs of terrorism.

Terrorists combine extreme violence with a wide range of overground political activity by front organisations - public demonstrations, the adroit manipulation of the Press and the Judicial process, and complex linkages with political parties, 'human rights' groups and 'legitimate' businesses. This volume explores the unique problems a democracy hasin dealing with the collusive patterns through which terrorists exploits the institutional structures and freedoms of the very system they set out to destroy.

The uncritical hysteria of expectations and the almost delusional character of 'analyses' that dominates media reportage on 'peace initiatives' pushes the ground realities of internal conflicts into the far background. We thus have the repeated experience of a comprehensive failure on the part of the political establishment to accommodate the complex and destructive dynamic of fragmented and unimaginative state responses confronting the endless flexibility of constantly mutating terrorist organizations and their supporters. This volume is an effort to restore a certain measure of balance in the perspectives on various conflicts in India that are arbitrarily and repeatedly destabilized by apparently well-intentioned but ill-conceived policy initiatives

India's Northeast is an arena where a great tragedy has been unfolding, as the original communities inhabiting the region face a sustained assault as a result of the movement of disadvantaged communities from contiguous areas, and of an unequal confrontation with the processes of modernity. This volume brings a special focus on the Northeast, exploring new perspectives on the multiplicity of conflicts in the region, and assessing conventional wisdom and past policies that have been applied to the resolution of various problems there. It projects voices and perspectives from the region to create a greater awareness of the divergences in perception that exist in the discourse on insurgency and terrorism.

Events since September 11, 2001, have inflicted transformations on patterns of terrorism and counter-terrorism that would have been inconceivable even days prior to the catastrophic attacks in America. The present Volume turns a critical focus on a wide range of conflicts, as well as initiatives for response and resolution in the context of the post-9/11 era, reassessing the past against the backdrop of emerging trends. Divergent perspectives on terrorism, the insurgencies and peace processes in various States in India's Northeast, current transformations in J&K, as well as communal faultlines in the country, come under the uncompromising scrutiny of experts drawn from a range of disciplines.

There is a great churning in progress in South Asia. Though the war on global terror continues in outward form, its inner clarity and coherence of purpose have been diluted by competing perceptions of geopolitical advantage. Thus, while Pakistan's terrorist agenda is undergoing constant mutations under rising international pressure, still it continues to evidence remarkable continuities. This, indeed remains true of a multiplicity of terrorist and insurgent movements in the region, which have been substantially transformed by the pressures of the growing international consensus against terrorist, but which nevertheless tend to concede no more than what has been coerced. The war against terrorism clearly promises to be a long one, and the present volume examines some of its manifestations.

The 'Global War against Terror' notwithstanding, the sources, the power and the impact of terrorism continue to extend themselves into uncharted geographical areas. Though the world today recognizes the imperatives of the containment of terrorist violence, more than a year after 9/11, there is little evidence of a consistent international resolve to do what is necessary to secure this end. Counter-terrorism responses, both in South Asia and in other theatres across the world, remain inchoate and fitful. If the war against terrorism is to succeed, it will have to evolve, before all else, a clearer understanding of the dynamics of terrorism and the development of strategic perspectives that can disrupt, and eventually neutralize, its support sytems. Faultlines seeks to create the basis for such an understanding.

From crisis to crisis, the world has stumbled, confounded, in its 'war against terror', with polices marked by incoherence and damning contradictions. Meanwhile, the forces of extremist violence and those who secure their inspiration from the ideologies of hate are recovering from their brief disorientation to consolidate their networks and resume operations. The opportunities of the fleeting consensus that had crystallized in the wake of the 9/11 attacks have largely dissipated. While a narrowly defined group of terrorists - those that are seen to threaten the US - are hunted relentlessly across the world, the pursuit of a 'false peace' has become endemic among other victims of terrorism, as democracies enter into unprincipled negotiations with terrorists, mass murderers, and the rogue regimes that support and sponsor them. Ambivalence, vacillation and error once again undermine the international will to respond adequately to the gravity of the challenge of terrorism.

Is the enterprise of terrorism finally in a retreat? In South Asia, at least, there are some indications that this may be so. With the exception of the apparently indiscriminate slaughters in Nepal since the breakdown of the 'peace process' with the Maoist rebels in August 2003, fatality rates have registered a decline in almost all theatres in the region.
But is this the prelude to a final winding down of terror, or a tactical hibernation? Until conclusive evidence emerges to the contrary, it is prudent to be sceptical, and to recognize the possibility of a terrorist resurgence.

There appears to have been a secular decline in trends in terrorist and insurgent violence in South Asia since 9/11, but there are dramatic skews in this trend, and there has been a dramatic expansion in the geographical spread of such conflicts. Worse, the spheres of political mismanagement and incompetence, of general lawlessness and criminality, and of sectarian, communal and other collective tensions appear to be expanding across much of the region, notwithstanding isolated success stories and dramatic economic and technological transformations in some areas.
The present volume is a small addition to the larger venture that seeks to scrutinize the Byzantine patterns of terrorism and insurgency, as well as the policies and practices to counter these.

It traces the history of the region, describes the advent and growth of militancy, and enumerates the steps taken to combat and control the insurgency situation. There is no single model to combat insurgency. It has to be tailored to suit the dangers and opportunities of the moment. The essential focus of the situation in Kashmir has been towards the happenings in the Kashmir valley. The spread of the problem into Doda and other areas south of the Pir Panjal ranges has gone relatively unnoticed. In the barren hillsides of Doda, the insurgency is more alarming because it is in the hinterland. For the first time captured diaries of militants are being published which give an insight into the mind and motivation of those who take arms against the state.
