"Identifying the longstanding security tensions between Pakistan and India, this book gives a deep and robust account of the historical elements and current contexts of terrorism in South Asia. South Asia is characterized by a variety of religions, ethnicities, languages, customs, histories and cultures. Focusing on this complex region provides an opportunity to diversify away from a Western-centric focus on terrorism and security. It highlights both historical issues and current contexts and features theoretical frameworks that shed light on the scholarly perspectives of terrorism. Sixteen chapters and eight country case-studies (Bangladesh; the Maldives; Sri Lanka; Bhutan; Nepal; India; Pakistan; and Afghanistan) help explain the challenges and trends relating to historicity, territoriality, ethnic conflicts and culturality as well as the current waves of radicalization by groups such as ISIS and al Qaeda and their various inspired subsidiaries across South Asia"--
