Frontiers of Blame: India's 'War on Terror'

In English

Författare

Summary, in English

The article interrogates the meaning of terror in India, enacted through the recurring articulation of a particular logic of blame, via a specific focus on the train blasts in Mumbai in July 2006. The conceptual extent of 'violence as terror' is examined broadly: as boundaries erected to equal 'war on terror' with 'war on Muslim terror', as a purifying of the Indian 'Self', and as shifting thresholds in state rationalities pertaining to terrorist activities. The Indian state is torn between blaming domestic organisations and 'cross-border terrorism' for involvement in acts of terror. The vagueness and ephemeral character of where to lay down the frontiers of blame is placing Muslim citizens in a precarious situation.
