Abstract

This piece is written against the backdrop of the recent Indo-Pak confrontation and the frenzied discussions about India's re-hyphenation with its neighbour. It argues that while enmity remains a salient feature of international relations today, it is no longer defined by ideas. This is symptomatic of a world where aggressive nationalist assertions have paradoxically led to the indistinguishability of nation-states.
