By engaging in a subnational analysis of India and Pakistan, I conclude that the relationship between ethnicity and conflict is, in fact, conditioned by the ethnic composition of subnational political units in the case of India and Pakistan, states and provinces, respectively. More specifically, significant changes in the ethnic composition of a given subnational unit drastically increase the risk of conflict onset. It is these changes, which bring on fear and insecurity, which increases the probability of conflict rather than ethnic fractionalization. I also find that ethnic dominance decreases the likelihood of conflict onset; this effect is particularly strong in a federal democracy as dominance allows an ethnic group to securely control the politics of the subnational unit and therefore their present and futures. Likewise, the effect of federal democratic institutions not only conditions the proneness to conflict but also conflict of a specific type: secession. Ethnically dominant units in a federal democracy are no more likely to secede than those units without an ethnically dominant group given their ability to dominate politics in their state or province.
