Government Response to Self-Determination Movements: a Case Study Comparison in India
GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO SELF-DETERMINATION MOVEMENTS: A CASE STUDY COMPARISON IN INDIA By Pritha Hariharan Submitted to the graduate degree program in MA Global and International Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson: John James Kennedy ________________________________ Committee Member: MichaelWuthrich ________________________________ Committee Member: Eric Hanley Date Defended: November 18th 2014 The Thesis Committee for Pritha Hariharan certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO SELF-DETERMINATION MOVEMENTS: A CASE STUDY COMPARISON IN INDIA ________________________________ Chairperson: John James Kennedy Date approved: November 18th 2014 ii Abstract The Indian government’s response to multiple separatist and self-determination movements the nation has encountered in its sixty-six year history has ranged from violent repression to complete or partial accommodation of demands. My research question asks whether the central government of India’s response to self-determination demands varies based on the type of demand or type of group. The importance of this topic stems from the geopolitical significance of India as an economic giant; as the largest and fastest growing economy in the subcontinent, the stability of India as a federal republic is crucial to the overall strength of the region. While the dispute between India and Pakistan in the state of Kashmir gets international attention, other movements that are associated with multiple fatalities and human rights abuses are largely ignored. I conduct a comparative case study analysis comparing one movement each in the states of Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Assam, Kashmir, and Mizoram; each with a diverse set of demands and where agitation has lasted more than five years. -
Rodent Cycles and Outbreaks in Asia: Biological Curios and Food Security
Rodent Cycles and Outbreaks in Asia: Biological Curios and Food Security Niamh Quinn Crop and Environmental Sciences Division, International Rice Research Institute, Philippines Nyo Me Htwe Plant Protection Division, Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, Myanmar Rachmawati Indonesian Center for Rice Research, Ministry of Agriculture, Indonesia Grant Singleton Crop and Environmental Sciences Division, International Rice Research Institute, Philippines ABSTRACT: In Asia, rodents are known to be one of the main constraints to agricultural production where losses of just 6% of the rice crop (35 million tons) are enough to feed 230 million people for one year. Rodent cycles and outbreaks in Asia can lead to severe crop losses and result in major food shortages. Multi-annual patterns in rodent populations (rodent cycles) have been recorded in Asia and have been shown to be linked to masting events of bamboo. One example of population cycles are those associated with the flowering of the bamboo Melocanna baccifera in Mizoram, India, Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh, and Chin State, Myanmar. Rodent outbreaks (non-cyclic) are common in Southeast Asia. These events are driven by availability of food and recently have been linked to extreme weather events that cause asynchrony of cropping. Rodents must be managed at a landscape level to help alleviate losses for the 4.1 billion people that rely on rice as their food staple.

A Study of Correlation Between the Mnf And
© 2018 JETIR August 2018, Volume 5, Issue 8 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) TRACING THE FLINCH OF INSURGENCY (A STUDY OF CORRELATION BETWEEN THE MNF AND ‘MAUTAM’ FAMINE IN MIZORAM) Dr Sakhawliana Assistant Professor, Department of Public Administration Government Kamalanagar College, Mizoram ABSTRACT Insurgency is causes, basically by political unwillingness of the administration. It is the call of the nations that the political track of different party’s should ensure nation building, and fixing the socio-economic menace of the general public. The prototyped imperialist, of premeditated coercive security and control of administration might not be viable to all sorts of establishments. Experience on the vital effects of the morale and psychology of the people can be seen in Mizoram, one of the North eastern states of India. This state has been under the profanity of insurgency for barely 20 years (1996-1986). It was said that after the famine cause by bamboo flowering, the philanthropic organisation of Mizo National Famine Front (MNFF) rechristened to form new political party of the Mizo National Front (MNF) and thrive for independence movement from the Indian Union. The hostility was brought by Mizo National Front (MNF) alias Mizo National Army (MNA), as its underground army wing, from one side and the Indian Army on the other. Over the year, the Indian Army and the MNA fought in tactical guerrilla warfare by using most sophisticated weapons of the 21st century. Therefore, it is impetus to unveil the insight of insurgency, in general, and the birth of the MNF for secession movement, in particular. -

The total population of Northeastern Region of India is 38,857,769, of which 19.1% are living below the poverty line. Northeast India deals with complex social political issues such as struggle over natural resources, ethnic conflicts, illegal migration, displacement and social exclusion. Status of Violence against Women in Northeast India: The incidences of crimes against women, particularly domestic violence, are on the rise in Northeast India. Reported instances of crimes against women in Assam jumped to 17,449 in 2013 as against 13,544 the previous year. In Tripura, between 2013 and the previous year, it had risen to 1,628 from 1,559 while Meghalaya saw a jump to 343 from 255. In Arunachal Pradesh, it was up from 201 to 288, in Sikkim to 93 from 68 and in Nagaland to 67 from 51.Manipur and Mizoram, however, recorded a slide in crimes against women with the incident rate in the former falling to 285 from 304 while the latter saw it drop from 199 to 177. (Source: National Crime Records Bureau, 2014). The main gender impact of the armed conflict taking place in Manipur and other states of Northeast India is the use of sexual violence as an arm of war. -

In the Shadow of Bamboo Flowering Bamboo Flowers in Every 50-Years.With Mass Flowering of Bamboos Comes Thingatam and Mautam-Whe
In the Shadow of Bamboo Flowering Bamboo flowers in every 50-years.With mass flowering of bamboos comes Thingatam and Mautam-where sudden ourbreak of rodent, rat army, devour everything they come in contact with. The rodents become bigger in size and spread plague and rabbies to the locales.However gregarious bamboo flowering is symbolic to economic prosperity in many States of Northe Eastern Region; it transforms ecoconomic propersity into econoic disaster during 1861and 1911-1912 in Mizoram. Here the mautams reported 100 per cent loss in the State.So far as,152-years have passed since Mautam reported in the region; yet the scinetific community has been unable to explain the science behind the mass bamboo flowering followed by mautam. Some of the research findings have suggested thatsyncronised bamboo flowering was caused by triggering an internal clock in the bamboos.Mainly Bambusa tulda and Melocanna bacifera speices of bamboo are reported to have been affected severely. Bamboos are the sweet giantswhose body exuberantly flashesuprightness, tenacity and hollow heart featurs.It is venerated for integrity, elegance and plainness bythe tribal people of Mizoram.In 24 hours, the bamboo grows 100 cm or 39 inches. They occur everwhere, except continental Europe.A total of 70 genera with 1,450 species are spearded across East Asia, America, Australia, West India and the Himalayas. In northeast region of India, the bamboos are attached with people socially, culturally and medicinally. According to the locals, they impatinetly wait 50-years to for the bamboos flowering, turns into nightmate when Mautam (death) follow mass bamboo flowering.
