Gandhi opposed the 1947 partition of British India that created two independent states of India and Pakistan, as he believed that partition politics, rooted in the psychology of othering, would turn South Asia into a near permanent conflict zone. His apprehension was not without basis. The psychology of othering that engendered partition continues to manifest itself in multiple ways, including, but not limited to, interstate wars and communal violence. It permeates not only politics at a higher level but also everyday life. In exploring partition and post-partition developments in South Asia in this interdisciplinary work, Mahapatra and Shekhawat argue for a Gandhian approach to transform the conflict landscape in South Asia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors illustrate how Gandhian principles of multicultural belonging and pluralism are key to resolving conflicts not just in South Asia but across the world. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Othering\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely and relevant contribution to the discourse on conflict resolution, making it essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in peacebuilding in the region and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Debidatta Aurobinda Mahapatra, Seema Shekhawat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815638108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815638100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d","brand":"Debidatta Aurobinda Mahapatra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169676521727,"sku":"9780815638100","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7786f332-d0ad-4a8f-9a7c-f0d3e6658185.jpg?v=1689654284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-othering-debidatta-aurobinda-mahapatra-9780815638100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
