Considers the contribution of Deleuze and Guattari's philosophical ideas in forging a critique of global terror and counter-terrorContains a new philosophical analysis of global terror and state reactions, as well as military aggressionArgues for a micro-level understanding of terror and counter-terror from the perspective of axiomatic thinking on power, violence and structures of dominationsConsiders different aspects of terror and analyses the basic grammar of violence that includes brutalities inherent in non-religious terror like market terror, cyber terror and social terrorWhat can philosophy offer when we suffer from brutal acts of terror and barbarous acts of counter-terror? Is the very grammar of the network of terror and anti-terror moves locked in the same ideology of power and state-ism that demands a deeper micro-analysis of human fetish for coercion and cruelty? Do we need schizoanalysis of the neurosis of terror and counter-terror where the work of Deleuze and Guattari can offer insight? This collection of essays considers the contribution of Deleuze and Guattari's philosophical ideas in forging a critique of global terror and counter-terror. Deleuze`s concept of nomadic thought provides a starting point for this fetish for coercion and terrorizing power. The contributors identify areas of political terror, state terror, capitalist corporate terror, religious terror, cyber-terror, social terror and cultural terror to enable the inherent power structure within all forms of terror to be unpacked.

This book examines instances of transformative dissent, turning points or shifts in popular mobilisation patterns in contemporary India, while adopting a historical approach and analysing past events. Exploring the different continuities and discontinuities in mobilising patterns and dissident agency in India, the authors present a heterogeneous insurrectional pattern that pivoted around issues of caste, class, religion, land reform, labour, taxation and territorial control, with anti-colonialism movements becoming prominent in the first half of the twentieth century. The authors move beyond this to explore more recent templates of mobilisation which surfaced towards the end of the twentieth century, during India’s liberalisation period. With growing marketisation and technological advancement, unprecedented changes in social relations, growing economic opportunities and cultural transfusion taking place, the country became a ‘New India’ - one which aspired to be a global player in the wider technological public sphere. Tracing the historical trajectories of social movements in India, this book examines recent trends in digitised dissidence and explores new frontiers of protests, providing fresh insights for those researching the history of social movements, South Asian and Indian history and postcolonial studies.
