Beschreibung
This books focuses on the various discourses on communal violence like Academic Writing, Media Coverage and Commission Reports thus discovering a common gap in all the three literature. The various discourses to an extent fail to reflect on the damage done to the social fabric, due to these riots. They probably provide an institutional approach to the communal riots issue. Where they put more stress on the role of state, political party and the police. They are busy looking into the causes and fixing responsibility on the various state actors. Not much attention is paid to the par non-state organization and civic engagement can play in combating communal disturbance. The peace building question is not taken care of in a proper way. This work has been a small initiation in opening up the issue of peace process in various discourses. The inter community and civic engagement answer to the problem of communal violence, seems to promise a realistic solution. Relying on the state actors for establishing communal harmony is not a sufficient answer. It seems that the canker of communalism desires a non-state solution. There is continuity in the debate.
