Nani Gopal Mahanta studies the situation of conflicts in Assam and asks why what was an identity search Walter Fernandes has turned into an armed conflict turning Assam into a state of ongoing conflicts. He ends his paper by pointing out the pitfalls While in the rest of India the Northeast has the image of in the search for peace and advocates the involvement of many being a zone of conflicts, within the region one witnesses a search more stakeholders, so that the solution to the conflicts might move for peace, a concept whose interpretation changes according to beyond mere absence of violence and address the root causes the stakeholder. The state and non-state armed groups think of of hostility. Walter Fernandes presents land alienation as the peace only as the absence of armed conflict, but most people of main cause of conflicts in the region and studies the immigration the region perceive it as a new society based on justice. Such a and developmental issues within that perspective. Binalakshmi new society cannot be achieved without understanding the causes Nepram Mentschel analyses the role that small arms play in of conflicts and attempting a solution to them. That is what the perpetuating conflicts. present book attempts to do. Some authors try to identify the Finally two writers look at the possibilities of peace. At causes of conflicts in the region and others analyse the processes present negotiations are between the two armed adversaries i.e. required for peace and possible actors in them.

A lasting solution requires a movement experiments with alternatives to the causes of conflicts. towards a just society. To achieve it the authors show the need for the involvement of more stakeholders.

Rita Manchanda discusses the role of civil society in The first part has four short theoretical papers on conflicts and preparing the ground for the negotiations, in pressurising the peace. M. N.

David R. Syiemlieh takes a global view of the processes that have resulted in conflicts and discusses The Background of Conflicts the two World Wars and the Indian freedom movement before The first step in the search for peace is an understanding of focussing on the Northeast. Ethel Syiem studies the conflicts in the processes that lead to conflicts. That is what the four authors the Northeast and in other societies in transition as presented in do by providing the theoretical framework.

Lucy Zehol gives the theoretical background of Karna refers to the danger of one region or community or country ethnic conflicts as found in anthropology with special reference to declaring itself the mainstream, thus reducing others to the status of sub-streams.

As R. N. Datta (1990: 41) said two the perceived or real attack on its identity, every community of decades ago, the danger in India is the tendency of national leaders the region tries to establish its indigenous status and asserts its to speak of “one State, one nation” and “to take the degree of exclusive rights over an area whose first inhabitants it clams to Aryanisation as the measure of Indianisation.” One of its results be, to the exclusion of all other ethnic groups (Bhaumik 2005: is that the identities of the regions that are considered sub-streams 150-152). This intensifies the conflicts. A possible way out of tend to become submerged in the “mainstream”.

  • Annual Review of State Laws 2020
    ANNUAL REVIEW OF STATE LAWS 2020 Anoop Ramakrishnan N R Akhil June 2021 The Constitution of India provides for a legislature in each State and entrusts it with the responsibility to make laws for the state. They make laws related to subjects in the State List and the Concurrent List of the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution. These include subjects such as agriculture, health, education, and police. At present, there are 30 state legislatures in the country, including in the two union territories of Delhi and Puducherry. State legislatures also determine the allocation of resources through their budgetary process. They collectively spend about 70% more than the centre. This implies that much of what affects citizens on a regular basis is decided at the level of the state. For a detailed discussion on the budgets of all states, please see our annual State of State Finances report. This report focuses on the legislative work performed by states in the calendar year 2020. It is based on data compiled from state legislature websites and state gazettes. It covers 19 state legislatures, including the union territory of Delhi, which together account for 90% of the population of the country. Information and data on state legislatures is not easily available. While some state legislatures publish data on a regular basis, many do not have a systematic way of reporting legislative proceedings and business.

This study assesses the effect of shifting cultivation cycles on soil quality in the North-eastern Himalayan region using a minimum of soil properties. To achieve this goal, a soil quality index (SQI) approach and multivariate techniques were used for surface (0-30 cm) and subsurface (30-70 cm) layers of soils in the forest, jhum land, and jhum fallow areas. The highest variability among land uses was found for clay content, SOC (soil organic carbon), exchangeable Mg and K, CEC (cation exchange capacity), and the Ca/Mg relationship. On the contrary, the lowest variation was recorded in bulk density (BD), porosity, and pH.

  • The Extent and Nature of the Cprs in the Northeast I. the Concept Of
    The Extent and Nature of the CPRs in the Northeast The Common Property Resources (CPRs) are important sources of livelihood to rural households in general and to the rural poor in particular. They are the livelihood both tangible and intangible of thousands of people. Far from being an exception to this, since most North Eastern States are on a hilly terrain inhabited by tribals, the CPRs play a more important role in people’s livelihood in this region than in the rest of India. The North Eastern economy is agrarian . Agriculture is the principal means of livelihood of most of its people 47.4 percent of whom are cultivators and 11.41 percent earn their livelihood as agricultural labourers. Table 2 shows the significance of land as a source of livelihood of the people of the Northeast. Thus, agriculture occupies an important place in the economy of the region but other sectors are neglected. 70 to 75 percent of the workforce of the region depends on the primary sector against 66 percent in India as a whole. More than 20 percent depend on the tertiary sector. These figures show the importance of CPRs as a source of livelihood of people of the region. I. The Concept of CPRs in General and in North East India The CPRs are community assets that provide both tangible and intangible livelihood (Shyhendra 2002: 3291) to their dependants. They include land used for cultivation and grazing, forests from which non-timber forest produce (NTFP) are collected, waste and panchayat land, watersheds, rivulets, rivers, ponds and other community assets.

  • Government of Peace
    2 Government of Peace Ranabir Samaddar 2012 3 Government of Peace ∗ Ranabir Samaddar Introduction In the liberal science of government the phenomenon of resistance becomes an occasion for reforms and the continuity of the liberal way to rule, which means ultimately combining security with freedom and coercion with normal ways of administration and governance. In this way liberal way to rule becomes the original form of politics. It becomes the original form because it appears to rise above and subsume the physicalities of partition, colonialism, war, borders and boundaries; conflicts, and struggles, and suggests the liberal combining of freedom, order, and security as the permanent way to conduct governance and rule. By definition then, such rule shows awareness of an original dilemma of governance, namely, how much to govern and how much to leave to society; likewise, how much to coerce and how much to produce consent of the subjects and rely on that consent in order to rule. The question of ratio is thus at the core of the problematic of liberal governance. There is no scope here of reciprocal gestures of life vis-à-vis death and destruction, also no scope of making dialogue the principal instrument of governance. Therefore, there is only premature closure of alternative histories and possibilities of existence through self-government. Ironically this means also a closure of the language of politics, forcing separation between subjects and subjectivities, and an attempt to expel the subject from the system of rule and governance, while accommodating mellowed yet separate subjectivities as the epiphenomena of liberal life.

  • 35 Chapter 2 INTER-ETHNIC CONFLICTS in NORTH EAST
    Chapter 2 INTER-ETHNIC CONFLICTS IN NORTH EAST INDIA India as a whole has about 4,635 communities comprising 2,000 to 3,000 caste groups, about 60,000 of synonyms of titles and sub-groups and near about 40,000 endogenous divisions (Singh 1992: 14-15). These ethnic groups are formed on the basis of religion (Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Jain, Buddhist, etc.), sect (Nirankari, Namdhari and Amritdhari Sikhs, Shia and Sunni Muslims, Vaishnavite, Lingayat and Shaivite Hindus, etc.), language (Assamese, Bengali, Manipuri, Hindu, etc.), race (Mongoloid, Caucasoid, Negrito, etc.), caste (scheduled tribes, scheduled castes, etc.), tribe (Naga, Mizo, Bodo, Mishing, Deori, Karbi, etc.) and others groups based on national minority, national origin, common historical experience, boundary, region, sub-culture, symbols, tradition, creed, rituals, dress, diet, or some combination of these factors which may form an ethnic group or identity (Hutnik 1991; Rastogi 1986, 1993). These identities based on religion, race, tribe, language etc characterizes the demographic pattern of Northeast India. Northeast India has 4,55,87,982 inhabitants as per the Census 2011. The communities of India listed by the „People of India‟ project in 1990 are 5,633 including 635 tribal groups, out of which as many as 213 tribal groups and surprisingly, 400 different dialects are found in Northeast India. Besides, many non- tribal groups are living particularly in plain areas and the ethnic groups are formed in terms of religion, caste, sects, language, etc. (Shivananda 2011:13-14). According to the Census 2011, 45587982 persons inhabit Northeast India, out of which as much as 31169272 people (68.37%) are living in Assam, constituting mostly the non-tribal population.

Though a considerable body of literature tend to deal with the three issues separately, yet innate interconnections among them are also acknowledged and often discussed. The region has received streams of immigrants since colonial times.
