INDIA: Assessing Major Conflict Theatres Amid COVID-19 Pandemic
May 21, 2020
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Nihar R Nayak’s commentary on India’s major conflict theatres, titled ‘INDIA: Assessing Major Conflict Theatres Amid COVID-19 Pandemic’ has been published in the Society for the Study of Peace and Conflict (SSPC) on May 21, 2020.
The commentary analyses the impact of the lockdown due to COVID-19 on India’s three major conflict theatres – Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), Northeastern (NE) region and Left Wing Extremism (LWE). Before the lockdown these were witnessing violent incidents daily. Interestingly, the impact of the lockdown varied from one conflict theatre to another given the nature of conflicts – objectives, origin, support base and level of conflict, etc.
