18.1 INTRODUCTION
The overwhelming majority of societies today are multiethnic and multicultural. Out of
some 190 nation states listed in official sources, 150 such states have four or more
ethnic groups within their boundaries. Most of these are increasingly confronted with
minority groups demanding recognition of their identity and accommodation of their
cultural differences. In a survey of such groups, Ted Gurr in his study in 1993 singled
out 233 minority ethnic groups who are at “risk”. By this he meant groups that, in the
post-World War II period, have either taken political action on behalf of their collective
discrimination or both. Hence they are actually or potentially engaged in inter-ethnic
conflict. Of these 233 groups, only 27, or about 12 percent have no record of political
organisation, protest, rebellion or other form of intercommunal conflict since 1945. Gurr
also pointed out that, out of 127 countries in the world that he examined, 75 percent had
at least one, and many had more, highly politicised minorities. As such ethnic tensions
and movements have become a major source of violent and non-violent conflicts. If
around the world, so many multiethnic states are in trouble, it is obvious that there is
a need to understand the causes behind these movements and their nature and type. Such
an understanding can also help in looking for means and mechanisms for conflict
resolutions. A large number scholars the world over are undeertaking such
