Book Synopsis Democracy and Violence in India and Sri Lanka by : Dennis Austin
Book excerpt: Democracy is usually seen as an antidote to violence: terrorism should have no place where the ballot box is freely and fairly used. In practice, however, minorities reject majority verdicts, and democratic governments, faced with violent opposition, are tempted to introduce non-democratic measures to restore order, as well as exploiting violence for political ends.
