Download or read book A Century of Protests written by Arupjyoti Saikia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing an important gap in the historiography of modern Assam, this book traces the relatively unexplored but profound transformations in the agrarian landscape of late- and post-colonial Assam that were instrumental in the making of modern Assamese peasantry and rural politics. It discusses the changing relations between various sections of peasantry, state, landed gentry, and politics of different ideological hues — nationalist, communist and socialist — and shows how a primarily agrarian question concerning peasantry came to occupy the centre stage in the nationalist politics of the state. It will especially interest scholars of history, agrarian and peasant studies, sociology, and contemporary politics, as also those concerned with Northeast India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a multifaceted look at Northeast India and the customs and traditions that underpin its legal framework. The book: charts the transition of traditions from colonial rule to present day, through constitutionalism and the consolidation of autonomous identities, as well as outlines contemporary debates in an increasingly modernising region; explores the theoretical context of legal pluralism and its implications, compares the personal legal systems with that of the mainland, and discusses customary law’s continuing popularity (both pragmatic and ideological) and common law; brings together case studies from across the eight states and focuses on the way individual systems and procedures manifest among various tribes and communities in the voices of tribal and non-tribal scholars; and highlights the resilience and relevance of alternative systems of redressal, including conflict resolution and women’s rights. Part of the prestigious ‘Transition in Northeastern India’ series, this book presents an interesting blend of theory and practice, key case studies and examples to study legal pluralism in multicultural contexts. It will be of great interest to students of law and social sciences, anthropology, political science, peace and conflict studies, besides administrators, judicial officers and lawyers in Northeast India, legal scholars and students of tribal law, and members of customary law courts of various tribal communities in Northeast India.
Download or read book Society and Legislature written by Jogendra Kr Das and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book “Society and Legislature: Social Background of Assam Legislative Assembly†, is an outcome of serious research work done by Jogendra Kr. Das. The book is an attempt to analyze the Assam Legislative Assembly from a sociological perspective. Several studies of legislative elites particularly analyzing their social background have been conducted in the country since independence. But the present study is somewhat different as the state of Assam is not only a border state but it has also passed through a turbulent period in recent years. In fact the Assam movement in particular changed the character of power elite in Assam. The movement provided an alternative leadership of young men and women, which was unprecedented in the political history of Assam. The Assam Movement was a sort of revolution against the established order and the old guards in politics and set up a newer dimension in society and politics of the state, which the book has taken into account. The book has penetrated into a new field of study successfully in the context of Assam, which may also be relevant to Indian state politics. The fundamental merit of the study lies in generating primary data based on rigorous fieldwork. The author has successfully balanced the data and its analysis. The author has taken into account the political situations prior to Assam Movement and prior to India’s national movement. He has compared the movement and the post-movement situations to establish interlinkages in these three different phases of political development in Assam. The author also provides useful information about the state of Assam highlighting its development in relation to other states of the country. The interesting feature of the book is that it not only explore the socio-economic, cultural and political background of the legislators, i.e. the legislative politics, but also their various forms of socio-politico-administrative roles for Assam society, which have greater sociological significance. The book consists of nine chapters distributed in three major parts. The contents are rich with valuable facts and findings. Hence, the study is quite interesting and a very positive contribution to the disciplines Political Science, Political Sociology, Anthropology and Sociology. The study is interdisciplinary in nature. The policy makers, administrators, scholars, political activists, intellectuals, general readers and students of Political Science, Political Sociology, Anthropology, Sociology and Society and Politics of Assam will find Dr. Jogendra Kr. Das’s book very useful, interesting and stimulating.

Download or read book Hindutva Regime in Assam written by and published by Sage. This book was released on 2021-07 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hindutva Regime in Assam: Saffron in the Rainbow analyses the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) strategy of appropriating cultural resources in Assam while pursuing the Hindutva agenda. In Assam, where numerous ethnic and regional political outfits have registered their electoral presence, the 'Rainbow Alliance' emerged as the dominant strategic tool for BJP in its electoral battles. The book studies how BJP has capitalized on people's attachment to their ethno-regional cultures and has successfully co-opted and 'saffronized' the 'Rainbow' by bringing together diverse ethnic groups into its fold. Scrutinizing electoral strategies, BJP's victories in 2014, 2016 and 2019, and the efforts towards dismantling consensus around the National Register of Citizens (NRC) by enacting the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the book provides a holistic view of this steady 'saffronization'. It also critically investigates BJP's populist development agenda. From the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) grassroots work to the government's policy initiatives, the book analyses the regime's performance and ideological pursuits in depth. It highlights how BJP's strategies in Assam are unique in some ways and how similar strategies can be seen elsewhere in India.

This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Cultural Constellations, Place-Making and Ethnicity in Eastern India, c. 1850-1927, Swarupa Gupta outlines a fresh paradigm moving beyond stereotypical representations of eastern India as a site of ethnic fragmentation. The book traces unities by exploring intersections between (1) cultural constellations; (2) place-making and (3) ethnicity. Centralising place-making, it tells the story of how people made places, mediating caste / religious / linguistic contestations. It offers new meanings of ‘region’ in Eastern Indian and global contexts by showing how an interregional arena comprising Bengal, Assam and Orissa was forged. Using historical tracts, novels, poetry and travelogues, the book argues that commonalities in Eastern India were linked to imaginings of Indian nationhood. The analysis contains interpretive strategies for mediating federalist separatisms and fragmentation in contemporary India.
