Deconstructing Terrorist Violence
Faith as a Mask
- Ram Puniyani - Chairman, Center for Study of Society and Secularism, Mumbai
Leadership in Political Science
Ram Puniyani through his long struggle against terrorism and sectarian violence has come up with a strong argument to show that terrorism is a political phenomenon, either aiming to control the oil-rich areas or pushing an agenda of sectarian nationalism. He analyzes the underlying issues threadbare and throws in a lot of uncomfortable questions while deconstructing the ideological modus operandi of religion and violence.
For all those who do not want their faith to be used as a mask!
“Coming at a time when political terrorism in being freshly and heatedly debated in South Asian region and outside, this highly informative book answers most of our questions on the subject in a thought-provoking and lucid manner…. It deals impartially with all types of religion and ethnicity-based terror in our part of the world.”
