Among the conflicts covered by the volume are: man and environment, social and economic conflicts arising from iniquitous accessibility and distribution of natural resources, political conflicts within countries like India, Sri Lanka and Timur; and between and among countries. Satyagraha of Gandhi as the most potent means of peaceful resolution of conflicts is the central theme of chapter 4. There are chapters on conflicts resulting from terrorism, power politics, religious animosities and ideological differences. The book covers not only the conflicts and peace building attempts in India, but also in other parts of the world. Some chapters focus on social conflicts in India resulting from the division of Indian society into a unique system of castes. The last two chapters of the book deal with Sri Lankan ethnic conflict and its management and the role UNHCR in peace building in East Timur.
