  • NRC Face Off in Assam
    NRC face off in Assam First draft of National Register of Citizens (NRC) The much-awaited first draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) was published with the names of 1.9 crore people out of the 3.29 crore total applicants in Assam recognizing them as legal citizens of India. What is NRC (National Register of Citizens)? The National Register of Citizens (NRC) contains names of Indian citizens. The NRC was prepared in 1951 by recording particulars of all the persons enumerated during that Census. Why is NRC currently in news? The NRC updation is currently going on across Assam and shall include the names of those persons (or their descendants) who appear in the NRC 1951, or in any of the Electoral Rolls up to the midnight of 24 March 1971 or in any one of the other admissible documents issued up to the midnight of 24 March 1971, which would prove their presence in Assam on or before 24 March 1971. The NRC (1951) and the Electoral Rolls up to the midnight of 24 March 1971 together are collectively called Legacy Data. How many states have its NCR’s? Assam is the only state to have its own register of citizens Why was it necessary to bring out an NRC in Assam? The NRC is being updated in Assam to detect Bangladeshi nationals, who may have illegally entered the State after the midnight of March 24, 1971, the cut-off date. This date was originally agreed to in the 1985 Assam Accord, signed between the then Rajiv Gandhi government and the All Assam Students Union (AASU).

  • THE DYNAMICS of the DEMOBILIZATION of the PROTEST CAMPAIGN in ASSAM Tijen Demirel-Pegg Indiana University-Purdue University Indi
    THE DYNAMICS OF THE DEMOBILIZATION OF THE PROTEST CAMPAIGN IN ASSAM Tijen Demirel-Pegg Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Abstract: This study highlights the role that critical events play in the demobilization of protest campaigns. Social movement scholars suggest that protest campaigns demobilize as a consequence of polarization within the campaign or the cooptation of the campaign leaders. I offer critical events as an alternative causal mechanism and argue that protest campaigns in ethnically divided societies are particularly combustible as they have the potential to trigger unintended or unorchestrated communal violence. When such violence occurs, elite strategies change, mass support declines and the campaign demobilizes. An empirical investigation of the dynamics of the demobilization phase of the anti-foreigner protest campaign in Assam, India between 1979 and 1985 confirms this argument. A single group analysis is conducted to compare the dynamics of the campaign before and after the communal violence by using time series event data collected from The Indian Express, a national newspaper. The study has wider implications for the literature on collective action as it illuminates the dynamic and complex nature of protest campaigns. International Interactions This is the author's manuscript of the article to be published in final edited form at: Demirel-Pegg, Tijen (2016), “The Dynamics of the Demobilization of the Protest Campaign in Assam,” International Interactions. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03050629.2016.1128430 Introduction The year 2014 was marked by intense protests against the police after the killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in New York and the subsequent failure to indict the police officers that killed them.

Four of us, who once worked together in Assam, conceived this idea of coming out with a book on the secret killings of Assam, based on the inquiry commission reports. Although each of us, in our individual journalis- tic pursuits, has written thousands of words on the secret killings, the rest of India virtually has no clue about the magnitude of this extraordinary series of violence and how it changed the course of socio- political life of Assam forever.
