The book primarily discusses diversification of ethnos
especially Kazakhs and Russians who are living together in Kazakhstan since the
18th century. The arrival of Russians and other Europeans in
Kazakhstan and Central Asia made it heterogeneously populated area that created
diver sifications in their culture, social patterns, living standards and even
in economic living. Religiously they got divided between Muslims and
non-Muslims, politically as natives and non-natives, ethnically Turks and
Slavs, thus making the region bi-polar. Sovietisation brought more Slavs to
Kazakhstan either on account of punishments or apprehending their doubtfulness
for Soviet cause (either in World War II or during (Collectivisation) or else
to allow them economic benefits–all this was leading the rulers to deconstruct
history and religion. The post Soviet space is dismantling the erstwhile Soviet
culture and innovated history and in Kazakhstan also such things have happened.
More than 130 nationalities living there are witness to what the state aims in
the post Soviet period whereupon diversification of ethnos has to subscribe to
the unity of the independent country who all possess the nationality of this
state. The book has been written as an attempt to find out the situation
existing in the country vis-à-vis the ethnic harmony / tensions and the role
being played by the state and her people in this direction. Our study, based on
both field observation and historical documentation of socio-cultural
dimensions of the prime ethnos. This book is divided into five chapters.

and Kashmir. In the sequel chapter two, political and constitutional
developments in the state has been discussed with main focus on the
commencement and growth of Kashmir Problem. The chapter third is dedicated to
