Deepa Ollapally examines extremist groups in Kashmir, Afghanistan, Northeast India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka to offer a fresh perspective on the causes of extremism. Politics, inter-state and international relations play a more important role in the rise of extremism in South Asia than religious identity, poverty, and state repression.
