520 1 _a"The No Nonsense Guide to Minority Rights in South Asia is a practical primer on issues related to minority rights in South Asian countries. It delves into all major concepts and cutting edge theories that constitute the evolving minority rights discourse. The 'minority' in South Asia is typically characterized by 'non-domination' and powerlessness, two major markers apart from language, culture, religion and ethnicity. This book explores the process of this kind of 'minoritization' in the region, evaluating the weaknesses of constitutional and legal frameworks that contribute to it. In doing so, it examines in detail the State's role in the socio-political recognition, protection and exclusion of minorities." "This book is an important reference resource for students and academics working in the areas of politics and international relations, especially on human rights, minority rights and state-building. It will also be a useful guide for activists."--BOOK JACKET.
