The state capacity to serve in a multicultural world depends upon how the institutions of governance derive peaceful solutions amidst competing claims and counter claims based on religion and culture to prevent violent conflicts and violations of civic peace. Drawing from the examples of the state of Madhya Pradesh in Central India, the culturally embedded community policing has evolved over the years as a model for maintaining a peaceful multicultural civic environment amidst a highly competing social life revolving around culture, identity and conflict. Although with disclaimers, this model has a replicable potential in environments of civic conflict in an increasingly complex multicultural world.
