Understand the intricate representation of collective violence in India. This essential study critically examines how state narratives and media portrayals of ethnic and religious conflicts, including Hindu-Muslim riots, obscure underlying causes and state responsibility. Delving into local contexts and public confrontations, it reveals how select interpretations of violence perpetuate societal power structures. A must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the complex roots of conflict and the perpetuation of violence within Indian society.
