	Community Warriors : State, Peasants And Caste Armies In Bihar by Ashwani Kumar

This book dissects the politicization of caste massacres and provides a provocative portrayal of the private caste armies operant in so-called ‘barbaric-Bihar’. Mediating between predatory politicians and radical Maoists, Kumar argues that these caste armies act as both a surrogate arm of the state and a violent defender of their community’s self-perceived purity. His focus on the state’s increasing powerlessness to deal with vicious agrarian conflicts challenges transcendental notions of the state’s autonomy and legitimacy. Kumar addresses the issues of the process of democratization, ethnic conflict, state power, social movements, Dalit politics and peasant unrest, providing a key to understanding contemporary India, with special respect to post-independence Bihar.
