  • Insurgency Concerns and Issues in Northeast India: Causes, Consequences and Recent Development
    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 08, 2020 INSURGENCY CONCERNS AND ISSUES IN NORTHEAST INDIA: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES AND RECENT DEVELOPMENT Md. Mofidul Islam Ph.D. Research Scholar, Department of Political Science, Dibrugarh University. In Collaboration with OKD Institute of Social Change and Development, Guwahati-Assam Abstract: The ethno-nationalist conflict has shaken the stability of States not only in India but also in many states of Asia, Africa, and Middle- east. The question of ethnic identity in North-East India is a very complex issue which leads to the emergence of many tribal movements. Various ethnic groups in the region have started asserting their identity based on ethnic loyalties- be cultural, linguistic or religious. The limited success or failure of the mass movements for autonomy, land, separate state within or outside Indian Union or demand for ST/SC statuses and their transformation into insurgent groups have not only transformed the whole of the North- eastern part into a potent platform for waging war against the Nation State but also led to an unprecedented and interminable violent conflict between different groups of people in the region. The narration of events leading to insurgency, the issues and the time period involved in respect of each State have to be understand against this perspective. Thus this paper attempts to analyze contemporary insurgency issues and concerns in Northeast India. This paper also analyzes causes, consequences and recent development of insurgencyin Northeast India. Keywords: Insurgency, Conflict, Causes, Consequences, Northeast India, Recent Development 1. Introduction: Northeast India is the most volatile and Northeast states.

  • Part – I Main Report
    Part – I Main Report Chapter 1 Meghalaya: A Socio-Economic Profile and Projections Meghalaya, one of the most picturesque states in the north-east of the country, is home to two major tribal groups — the Khasis and the Garos — apart from several smaller tribes. The state’s area, largely comprising tablelands and hill regions, is heavily forested and criss-crossed by several rivers. It is an abode of tremendous biodiversity, and the soil and climate are conducive to the cultivation of a large variety of agricultural crops, horticultural produce, and flowers. As a state of the Indian Union, Meghalaya came into being on 21 January 1972. It was created by carving out two districts of the former composite state of Assam, namely, the United Khasi and Jaintia Hills, and the Garo Hills. At present, Meghalaya comprises seven districts: East Garo Hills, East Khasi Hills, Jaintia Hills, Ri-Bhoi, South Garo Hills, West Garo Hills, and the West Khasi Hills. Its capital Shillong was also the capital of undivided Assam from 1874 till the creation of the new state of Meghalaya. On its south and southwest border Meghalaya is bounded by Bangladesh with which it shares a 443 km international border, to its north and northwest is the Brahmaputra valley of Assam, while Assam’s Cachar region lies to its east. Meghalaya is one of eight states in the north-eastern region (NER) of the country, the other seven being Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura. The entire state of Meghalaya (along with the state of Mizoram and parts of Assam and Tripura) falls under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, which prescribes a separate code for the governance of tribal areas in the country.

  • Tribal Politics in Assam: from Line System to Language Problem
    Social Change and Development Vol. XVI No.1, 2019 Tribal Politics in Assam: From line system to language problem Juri Baruah* Abstract Colonial geography of Northeast India reveals the fragmentation of the hills and plains and how it shaped the tribal politics in the region. Assam is a unique space to study the struggle of tribal against the mainstream political confront as it is the last frontier of the subcontinent with a distinctiveness of ethnic mosaic. The tribal politics in the state became organised through the self determination of tribal middle class in terms of indignity. The question on indignity is based on land and language which are the strong determinants in the political climate of Assam. This paper tries to argue on the significance of the line system and how it was initially used to create the space for organised tribal politics in terms of land rights. From line system to landlessness the tribal politics is going through different phases of challenges and possibilities by including the demands for autonomy and idea of homeland. The Ethnic identity is indeed directly linked with the region’s unique linguistic nature that becomes fragile in terms of identity questions. 1. Introduction The discourse of ‘tribal politics’ was first used by the colonial rulers in Assam which carries various socio-political backgrounds in the history of Northeast in general and Assam in particular. It became a question of identity in the late colonial Assam originating from the meaning of ‘tribe’ to the representation of ‘indigenous people’. The tribal politics began to challenge the hegemony of caste Hindus in the beginning and then transformed to tribal autonomy in the post-colonial period.

  • Speech of Hon'ble Governor of Meghalaya, On
    SPEECH OF HON’BLE GOVERNOR OF MEGHALAYA, ON THE OCCASION OF THE RELEASE OF THE COMMEMORATIVE MONOGRAPH OF THE OFFICES OF THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL ON 14, JULY 2016 AT RAJ BHAVAN SHILLONG The offices of the Accountants General, Meghalaya have a history dating back to 1910 when the office of the Comptroller, Assam was established at Shillong. The Commemorative monograph is being brought out now to celebrate the completion of more than 100 years of the Shillong offices of the Accountant General, as well as Lyndhurst Estate, the residential complex for IA&AS officers. The monograph includes copies of some of the very old and important photographs, references, maps, memos, etc. narrating the history of Lyndhurst Estate and the offices of the erstwhile Comptroller, Assam. The photography lavishly illustrates the Office Buildings, Lyndhurst Estate, and MotinagarA&A Estate and the narrative combines a lucid account of the history, with some previously untold stories. The office of the Accountant General, Meghalaya was established in 1910 with the setting up of the Comptroller, Assam office in Shillong. The title of the Accountant General’s office, which was still a part of undivided Assam, was made official in 1952. After Meghalaya became an independent state, the offices of the Accountants General, Assam were shifted to Guwahati and functioned separately. The Accountants General functions under the powers vested in the Comptroller and Auditor General of India. � The CAG is the institution through which the accountability of the government and other public authorities — all those who spend public funds — to Parliament and State Legislatures and through them to the people is ensured.

  • Human Development in Northeastern Region of India: Issues and Challenges
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Human Development in Northeastern Region of India: Issues and Challenges Nayak, Purusottam North Eastern Hill University 10 August 2012 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/41582/ MPRA Paper No. 41582, posted 27 Sep 2012 10:29 UTC Human Development in Northeastern Region of India: Issues and Challenges Purusottam Nayak Abstract The paper is a brief account of findings of various human development reports and studies undertaken by individual researchers on the states of northeast India. The findings reveal that achievement of northeastern region is quite satisfactory in comparison to all India average achievements in some dimensions of human development but it has miserably failed in bringing commensurate economic growth and equitable distribution. There exists wide spread disparity of socioeconomic achievements across different states and within, from urban to rural areas and between male and female. If the problems of poor economic growth, poverty, gender disparity and general health of the people are not properly addressed the region may fall into the trap of vicious quadrant instead of moving to a virtuous one. The way out from this trap is through achievement of a productive, balanced and sustainable economy with appropriate intervention in health sector and poverty alleviation programs. Introduction UNDP for the first time took initiative in preparing human development report at the global level in 1990. Since then it has been a regular exercise to produce reports on an annual basis, of course, with emphasis on different themes. Similar such exercises have also been undertaken by various countries including India with the help of UNDP.

  • State Making and the Suspension of Law in India's Northeast
    State Making and the Suspension of Law in India’s Northeast The Place of Exception in the Assam-Nagaland Border Dispute Bert Suykens Introduction Post 9/11, exceptionalism has won popularity to describe the variety of processes resulting from a new security discourse, the war on terror and the treatment of terrorism suspects (Huysmans, 2006). Indeed, the central case to argue and counter argue the usefulness of the concept of the state of exception, often in Schmittian (Schmitt, 2005) or Agambenesk (Agamben, 1998, 2005) terms – or both – is the “modern camp” in Guantanamo Bay (Gregory, 2004, Minca, 2005, for a critique see: Johns, 2005; Reid-Henry, 2007). Other key cases include the analysis of (illegal) migrants (Edkins & Pin-Fat, 2005; Salter, 2008) and, interrelated, of the securization of border regimes (Amoore, 2006; Basaran, 2008) where the discussion on the inside and the outside of the state and the sovereign power seems to be most profound. Little attention has however been awarded to exceptionalism away from this security and terrorism discourse.1 What is more, most cases are only used to make a theoretical argument about the state of exception and the attention to a particular case seems to be little more than a corollary of a theoretical positioning. This has resulted in what I would call a search for and adherence to an ideal type state of exception, glossing over particularities, idiosyncrasies and eccentricities of informed case studies, and, in the end, loosing some of the dynamism and richness which could form a part of a careful study of states of exception in different parts of the world.

  • Reconsidering Ethnic-Based-Autonomy Movements in Meghalaya: an Analysis
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Reconsidering Ethnic-Based-Autonomy Movements in Meghalaya: An Analysis Singha, Komol and Nayak, Purusottam Sikkim University, North Eastern Hill University 26 May 2015 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/64601/ MPRA Paper No. 64601, posted 27 May 2015 06:04 UTC Reconsidering Ethnic-Based-Autonomy Movements in Meghalaya: An Analysis Komol Singha Department of Economics Sikkim University, Gangtok Email: [email protected] and Purusottam Nayak Department of Economics North-Eastern Hills University, Shillong Abstract To the unfamiliar, communities living in Meghalaya appear to be homogenous ones. In reality, however, they are socially, politically and culturally not only heterogeneous but are also defined by distinct tribal and clan markers. Three major tribes– the Khasi, the Garo, and the Jaintia, dominate the state. Each of them had their own kingdoms until they were brought under the British colonial administration in the 19th century. Consequently, after independence, these tribes and their territories were merged with undivided Assam, and then carved out as a full-fledged state of Meghalaya in 1972. Soon after attaining statehood, tensions cropped up between the indigenous communities and migrants mainly over the issue of economic opportunity. However, these days, it has slowly shifted towards the internal feuds among the indigenous tribes and separate demand for states within the state. With this background, the paper attempts to analyse the causes and consequences of autonomy demands asserted by different communities/tribes within the state. Key Words: Autonomy, Conflict, Garo, Identity, Khasi, Meghalaya 1. Introduction ‘Meghalaya’ meaning the ‘abode of clouds’ is one of the sister states of India’s North Eastern Region (NER hereafter)1, dominated mainly by three major tribes– the Khasi, the Garo, and the Jaintia.

  • Conflict Reporting in Newspapers of Assam
    Article-4 Global Media Journal – Indian Edition Sponsored by the University of Calcutta/www.caluniv.ac.in ISSN 2249 – 5835 Summer& Winter Joint Issue/June- December 2015/Vol. 6/No. 1& 2 FROM FRACTURES TO FRAMES: CONFLICT REPORTING IN NEWSPAPERS OF ASSAM by Dr. Joya Chakraborty Assistant Professor Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, Tezpur University [email protected] Anjuman Borah Assistant Professor Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, Tezpur University [email protected] & Muktikam Hazarika Research Scholar, Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, Tezpur University [email protected] Abstract The Northeast region of India has been marked by sustained separatist insurgencies, mass agitations and ethnic conflicts. This region has been the setting for the earliest and longest lasting insurgency in the country. Subject to ‘various brands of identity politics’ ever since the colonial days, leading to exclusion and deprivation, the region’s history of violence can be seen as a powerful manifestation of its vehemence to preserve its identity.This ‘identity crisis’ which is considered to be the core cause of bloodshed in the region, has been the subject of dissection by a number of academicians as well as journalists. The identity crisis in the region manifests itself in two major forms of identity movements – (1) Independence movements for autonomy or self-rule and (2) Movements for ousting of foreigners/ outsiders from their ‘mother land’. Like other ethnic groups in the regions, the Bodos too have a long history of such identity crusades – beginning with the movement for Bodoland dating back to the 1960s to the more recent instances of resisting immigrant settlers, both from Bangladesh and from other regions of India, even Assam.

  • Knowing the Origin of the Deoris of Assam in the Broader Context of Folklore Atrayee Kashyap
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 09, 2020 Knowing the origin of the Deoris of Assam in the broader context of Folklore Atrayee Kashyap Ph.D. Research Scholar, Department of Cultural and Creative Studies North- Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Umshing Mawkynroh Meghalaya- 793022 Email ID: [email protected] Contact No. : 7002763076 Abstract In the contemporary society we are constantly struggling to go back to our roots and to maintain our ethnic identity. ‘Who am I?’ is a question that has been scrutinized by us in diverse forms in our lives. How important do we think folklore in defining cultural identity? Culture is the creative expression of a particular society through its symbols, stories, ballads, myths, literature, art, music and for some its institution. An oral composition may be added to or subtracted from at any time and by different people. The date regarding the historical background of the Deoris is largely wanting due to scarcity of relevant ancient documents and other evidences. Regarding the origin and pre-history of the Deori community few legends as well as traditional songs can be considered as these appear to have represented real facts. How does a community foster its bond between people and their folklore and exactly which of its aspects relate to the society at large: the themes, the language, the forms, or the particular tales, songs and proverbs? The forms of folklore are thus regarded as the cores at the hearts of artistic forms. Identity is an outcome, a condition created largely through heritage which may or may not be conveyed through rituals as the vehicle of transmission.
