CONFLICT AND VIOLENCE IN THE POLITICAL SYSTEM - KRZYSZTOF DĘBNICKI

Krzysztof Dębnicki's book is an in-depth analysis of the causes of the escalation of violence in India over the past twenty years. The author examines caste and religious conflicts, bloody clashes between Muslims and Hindus, the civil war in Punjab and Kashmir, as well as the activities of extremist leftist groups and insurgents. This work calls into question the common thesis of India as a country guided by the principle of ahimsa, or non-violence.

• Analysis of the causes of the increase in violence in India
• Examination of caste and religious conflicts
• Assessment of the impact of the ahimsa tradition on politics
• Considerations on the interaction between tradition and the modern political system
• Insight into the mismatch between the political system and society
• Presentation of the historical context of political changes

The author analyzes the concept of ahimsa from antiquity to the time of Mahatma Gandhi, showing its impact on the political behavior of the Indian population. He also examines the interaction between traditional social norms and ways of organizing Hindus and the modern, democratic political system introduced in 1947 after the British withdrawal from India. In his opinion, the sources of the conflict lie in the mismatch between the political system transplanted from Europe and a society with a completely different political tradition, guided by a different set of values.

This book is a valuable source of knowledge for anyone interested in political conflicts, the history of India, and the influence of tradition on modern political systems. Dębnicki insightfully analyzes the complex social and political processes that have led to the escalation of violence in India, offering the reader a comprehensive picture of the situation and a deep understanding of the causes of this phenomenon.
