  • Votes, Voters and Voter Lists: the Electoral Rolls in Barak Valley, Assam
    SHABNAM SURITA | 83 Votes, Voters and Voter Lists: The Electoral Rolls in Barak Valley, Assam Shabnam Surita Abstract: Electoral rolls, or voter lists, as they are popularly called, are an integral part of the democratic setup of the Indian state. Along with their role in the electoral process, these lists have surfaced in the politics of Assam time and again. Especially since the 1970s, claims of non-citizens becoming enlisted voters, incorrect voter lists and the phenomenon of a ‘clean’ voter list have dominated electoral politics in Assam. The institutional acknowledgement of these issues culminated in the Assam Accord of 1985, establishing the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), a political party founded with the goal of ‘cleaning up’ the electoral rolls ‘polluted with foreign nationals’. Moreo- ver, the Assam Agitation, between 1979 and 1985, changed the public discourse on the validity of electoral rolls and turned the rolls into a major focus of political con- testation; this resulted in new terms of citizenship being set. However, following this shift, a prolonged era of politicisation of these rolls continued which has lasted to this day. Recently, discussions around the electoral rolls have come to popular and academic attention in light of the updating of the National Register of Citizens and the Citizenship Amendment Act. With the updating of the Register, the goal was to achieve a fair register of voters (or citizens) without outsiders. On the other hand, the Act seeks to modify the notion of Indian citizenship with respect to specific reli- gious identities, thereby legitimising exclusion. As of now, both the processes remain on functionally unclear and stagnant grounds, but the process of using electoral rolls as a tool for both electoral gain and the organised exclusion of a section of the pop- ulation continues to haunt popular perceptions.

  • TERRITORIES of BELONGING Citizenship and Everyday Practices of the State in Bodoland
    TERRITORIES OF BELONGING Citizenship and everyday practices of the state in Bodoland Saba Sharma Department of Geography University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Hughes Hall April 2019 Declaration This thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution, except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit of 80,000 words of the Degree Committee for the Faculty of Earth Sciences & Geography. 2 Thesis Summary My thesis looks at the construction of citizenship in the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD, or Bodoland for short) in Western Assam, India. The BTAD is an autonomous sub- region within the state of Assam, which in turn is part of a cluster of states in Northeast India. I look primarily at the everyday practices of the state in an ethnically diverse region with a history of separatism, armed militant struggle, and violence between different ethnic groups. Two related strands of difference underlie the notion of citizenship here — the territorialised expression of ethnicity as manifested in the Indian context; and the idea of India’s Northeast as being a space of exception vis-à-vis the rest of the country.

  • The Bodoland Agitation and Ethnic Violence in Assam
    Volume - 5, Issue- 12, December 2017 IC Value 2016 : 61.33 e-ISSN : 2347 - 9671| p- ISSN : 2349 - 0187 EPRA International Journal of Economic and Business Review SJIF Impact Factor(2017) : 7.144 ISI Impact Factor (2013): 1.259(Dubai) Research Paper THE BODOLAND AGITATION AND ETHNIC VIOLENCE IN ASSAM 1 1 Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Jangipur College, Dr. Koyel Basu Jangipur, Murshidabad-742213, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT ssam is a unique case. Its violence has been mostly ethnic, more a function of the complex ties Abetween state interests and demographic patterns. Assamese sub-nationalism started as a linguistic movement where reduced cultural heterogeneity has sharply heightened tensions between the Assamese and other communities. The cultural complexity here demanded a different type of governance. Secessionist movements occurred here and through the 1970s and 1980s massive acts of violence that included massacres/harassment of ‘outsiders’ blockading of oil pipes and damage to state property became part of the movement. The violence of the ULFA and the Bodo militants have also been rampant and violated political and human rights of people with impunity. Assam has witnessed massive sub-national and ethnic violence since the 1980s and it is one of the starkest cases of democracy and human rights violation proceeding hand in hand. However, what needs to be asserted is that the state cannot be wholly blamed or made responsible for the situation of human rights violations in all these regions. Human rights are the bedrock on which a civil and democratic society rests. The Indian Constitution acknowledges this. Federalism and the highly segmented character of Indian society enabled the Centre to function when some states were in political turmoil.

  • Faith-Based Citizenship
    TIF - Faith-based Citizenship NIRAJA GOPAL JAYAL November 1, 2019 December 11, 1946 meeting of the Constituent Assembly: The Assembly witnessed heated debates on citizenship. | Wikimedia The Citizenship Amendment Bill and the pan-Indian National Register of Citizens mark a foundational shift in the Indian conception of citizenship, providing paths to citizenship for some and driving others on to paths to statelessness. The Indian idea of citizenship – as embodied in the Constitution and the law – is in the throes of a profound and radical metamorphosis. The twin instruments of this transformation are the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB). If the former is carving out paths to statelessness for disfavoured groups, the latter is creating paths to citizenship for preferred groups. While the first is, despite the looming threat of its extension across India, presently limited to the state of Assam, the second is designed to be pan- Indian in its application. Not only do the two need to be read alongside each other, both of these in turn need to be read in the larger context of the Government’s policies towards minorities, whether in the forced ‘amelioration’ of Muslim women by the criminalisation of the triple talaq or the clampdown, since early August, in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. They need also to be read in the context of the acceleration of violence against minorities over the past few years, especially by vigilante lynch mobs who have been thriving on the promise of legal impunity. An adequate understanding of both the NRC and the CAB depends on an appreciation of the ecosystem for minorities constituted by these twin phenomena, emanating from the state and society respectively.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 INTRODUCTION Handique Girls’ College is located on the banks of the historic water body of Dighalipukhuri, in the heart of Guwahati city. This College was founded in 1939 by Late Rajabala Das, who became the first Principal of the College. Her conviction that women would have to be empowered through education to take part in the nation- building process, gave her the determination to overcome the many obstacles that stood in the way of establishing a college for women in pre-independence India. Her memoir records the difficult path she had to tread, duly acknowledging the generous support she received from the great philanthropist, Late Rai Bahadur Radhakanta Handique, in setting up the College. Today, eighty years later, Handique Girls’ College continues to pioneer women’s education in northeast of India, holding on to the cherished ideals of its founder. It retains its single-gender character, firm in the belief that as long as women’s voices continue to be marginalised, a women’s college will have relevance as an empowering space for women. During its early years the College was affiliated to the Calcutta University but after establishment of the Gauhati University in 1948, it became affiliated to the latter University.
