Abstract:
Is there any chance that Russia-Ukraine war stops permanently, Kuki-Naga-Meitei conflict dies for ever, Iranpatronised Houthi rebels lay down arms permanently? Did it happen anytime in the history of mankind? A resounding ‘No’ with rarest of the rare exceptions prove this rule when we observe big realities in inductive approach. History-economy-identity ( based on culture, religion, caste and sect though Laxman-Rekha or thin line between these, nobody knows) in past and politics (ambition of power in different affairs of a country
and globe) in the present are the most stated reasons of justifying conflict. Analysis of process in conflicts reveals that every party in conflict needs support of important others. For the same, differences between conflicting parties and ambition to dominate or settle scores are the reasons to be presented in front of others convincingly. The unstated mutual interest and intimate relationship during peace time are non-pronounced premise for winning favour. This long-term engagement reveals importance of inter-party communication which is an overarching presence in all activities. Communication varies between peace time and conflict period to build up narratives of differing pitch, tone and subtexts.
