Introduction

Ethnic conflicts are considered to be the most common and old form of socio and political tension of the world and it is impossible to find any nation free from these ethnic conflicts, it has been observed from the previous study that during the period of 1945-1980 all the ethnic conflicts have caused the lives of thousands of innocent people from major countries of the world.
