Abstract: Landscapes of Fear tackles a set of intricate questions about the workings of impunity in India. Considering why the world s largest democracy condones systematic violations of some human rights, and questioning how victims of abuse and survivors of sexual violence end up being denied justice, the contributors seek to understand what those on the margins-those of the wrong sex, wrong identity markers, or wrong political leanings-can tell us about violence by state and non-state actors.
