Download or read book The Partition of Bengal and Assam 1932 1947 written by Bidyut Chakrabarty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fragmentation of Bengal and Assam in 1947 was a crucial moment in India's socio-political history as a nation state. Both the British Indian provinces were divided as much through the actions of the Muslim League as by those of Congress and the British colonial power. Attributing partition largely to Hindu communalists is, therefore, historically inaccurate and factually misleading. The Partition of Bengal and Assam provides a review of constitutional and party politics as well as of popular attitudes and perceptions. The primary aim of this book is to unravel the intricate socio-economic and political processes that led up to partition, as Hindus and Muslims competed ferociously for the new power and privileges to be conferred on them with independence. As shown in the book, well before they divorced at a political level, Hindus and Muslims had been cleaved apart by their socio-economic differences. Partition was probably inevitable.

Book excerpt: Breaking Worlds: Religion, Law and Citizenship in Majoritarian India; The Story of Assam chronicles how prejudicial laws and policies are being utilized with impunity to reconstruct citizenship in Assam in Northeast India. The Government of India's stated objective is to replicate "Assam-like" changes to citizenship across the country. The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government's pilot implementation has centered on the state of Assam in Northeast India since 2019, with dire impact on its sizeable Muslim population. Majoritarian nationalists claim that various Muslim communities residing in India are in the country "illegally," and are not Indian. The modalities for safe harbor that apply to other communities exclude Muslims. In particular, Bangla-descent Muslims are fabricated as "foreigners" and "outsiders," are the primary targets. If Bangla-descent Muslims of Assam are not Indians, then who are they? Hindu nationalists claim that various Muslim communities residing in India are in the country "illegally," and are not Indian. Bangla-descent Muslims who fail to meet the government's demands to prove their citizenship are faced with the threat of expulsion, exile, and statelessness.Through applied research and methodical analysis, the report spotlights the illiberal citizenship movement ignited by majoritarian forces focusing on two intersecting chronologies: the exclusionary amendments to the law and the implosive situation on the ground that collectively stands to render swathes of citizens effectively stateless. The report identifies communities that are subject to discriminatory treatment. It chronicles the voices, lives, and torment of numerous targeted individuals, including victimized-survivors who have been declared "foreigners" in Assam, separated from their families and detained, and family members of suicide victims, together with summary analyses of cases before the appellate body. The report brings into focus how the laws and policies reordering Indian citizenship are fortifying legal discrimination based on religion, and the impact on vulnerable communities. The report's emphasis on Assam and Bangla-descent Muslims is prognosticative. The report contends that the "citizenship experiment" signals the advance of inestimable, gendered violence and prospective statelessness that stand to devastate millions of lives.

Download or read book Indigenous People of Barak Valley written by Atiqur Rahman Barbhuiya and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-01-27 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major sections of Muslims presently living in Barak Valley were converted from local indigenous tribes due to the spiritual influence of holy Arabian saints coming from the Middle East. Tea tribes of Assam having only 150 years of history of settlement in Assam and the subjects of Ahom kings living in Assam are considered as indigenous, while Muslims, the subjects of contemporary Koch kings and Kachari kings, living in Assam with 700/800 years of settlement history have not been considered as indigenous or Assamese Khilonjia. This book explores the roots of Hindus and Muslims living in Barak Valley. Bengali Hindus and Muslims living in Assam should look back to their history if they want to live in Assam in a dignified manner. Our past history is our strength, not weakness.

Download or read book The Nellie Massacre of 1983 written by Makiko Kimura and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2013-11-09 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nellie incident, involving the massacre of about 2,000 Muslim villagers, took place during the antiforeigner movement in Assam, in order to drive out illegal Bangladeshi and Nepali immigrants. Unlike the communal “riots” in the other parts of India from the 1980s to 2000s, this was an incident which took place in rural areas. The attackers were part of the indigenous tribal population, and Assamese Hindus of lower strata. The Nellie Massacre of 1983 is an attempt to search for clues from the narratives of attackers and survivors of the incident, which are fragmented and sometimes contradictory to each other. The key focus of the book is on the local decision-making processes of the riot agents in deciding to use collective violence against another group/community/ethnicity especially in the context of rural India. By using the case study of the Nellie massacre, the author attempts to argue that rioters have their own agency and decision-making power, and were not mere puppets of ideology and structural causes. Instead, they interpreted the circumstances in their own way and decided to riot.
