The year 1984 marked a turning point for the struggles of Hindus and Sikhs in India. The destruction of the central Sikh shrine called the Golden Temple by the Indian Army fueled the struggle between the Sikhs and the Congress Party. The destruction of the Babar mosque by the Hindus fueled the struggle between the Hindus and Muslims. These conflicts have developed in response to the respective groups' search for identity within the Indian nation-state. Involvement with neighboring Pakistan has escalated the conflicts to international proportions.

With its profusion of languages, ethnic groups and regional diversities, with its unique caste system, with its contrast between information technology and industry billionaires and the nearly 300 million people who live below the poverty line, with its mixture of Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy and outbreaks of savage communal violence, and with its success as a parliamentary democracy despite having 400 million people who cannot read or write, India remains a bewilderingly complex country. A powerful moral leader as well as a wily politician, Gandhi wanted Indians to be proud of their past, to wear Indian rather than foreign dress, to challenge their colonial overlords through peaceful protest and noncooperation and not through violence, and to eliminate discrimination against...

A string of recent attacks by communist rebels points to the comeback of an extreme leftist movement inspired by Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong and long seen as outdated. In response, the Indian government has announced plans to deploy more than 70,000 paramilitary and police forces, in a spring offensive that activists criticize as too little, too late.

More journalists were killed last year than ever before. No doubt the world has become a more dangerous place for journalists, but not necessarily in ways that people might expect. The risks to foreign journalists, especially for (but hardly limited to) Western correspondents, have risen dramatically. There is another trend that is even more disturbing. When it comes to journalists, the killers get away with the murders in nearly nine out of ten cases. In no less than 89% of journalist murders worldwide, there has been little or no prosecution whatsoever. At the same time, combat journalists and other reporters who cover dangerous situations still face great risks. No less than 18% of the journalists killed on the job in all circumstances since 1992 died covering combat or some other fo...
