Unfree Country-Poetry Founders’ Note Raihan Vadra & Yasharth Goyal Raihan and I are delighted to welcome you all to the 5th National Session of I-Parliament. As we complete our second anniversary this year, the Secretariat is overwhelmed with the response we have received over the years. In the sessions held so far, I-Parliament was able to develop innovative legislative ideas through extensive, vigorous and exciting debate amongst participants. These were then crafted by I-Parliament into weighty Constitutional and Legislative Amendment proposals that have received appreciation from senior policy experts. At the session held in April last year we discussed and drafted a Bill on Electoral Reforms in India. The Bill was duly handed over to Ms.Sushmita Dev, Member of Parliament, Silchar, for her consideration for being moved as a Private Member’s Bill in the Lok Sabha. Not only was the bill duly appreciated by her but also filed in the Legislative Department which amends the Representation of People’s Act. We are in the process of starting several new initiatives including youth Democracy Clubs that aim to strengthen the movement, promoting an educated public which is essential to democratic process. True to our mission of being an inclusive movement, later this year we plan to hold a session of I-Parliament for students who have never had exposure to the MUN/Mock-Parliament experience. We are also planning a joint Session with the Bhutan’s Children Parliament with the aim of building bonds and enhancing friendly relations with them.

Assessment of Water Quality of Lungding Stream Through Biomonitoring
International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2016): 79.57 | Impact Factor (2017): 7.296 Assessment of Water Quality of Lungding Stream through Biomonitoring Nilu Paul1, A. K. Tamuli2, R. Teron3, J. Arjun4 1Department of Zoology, Lumding College, Lumding, Assam, India 2Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University Diphu Campus, Diphu, Assam, India 3Department of Life Science and Bioinformatics, Assam University Diphu Campus, Diphu, Assam, India 4Department of Zoology, Lumding College, Lumding, Assam, India Abstract: Stream ecosystem biomonitoring has been widely used to assess the status of water. It provides information on the health of an ecosystem based on which organisms live in a waterbody. The benthic community is dependent on its surrounding and therefore, it serves as an indicator that reflects the overall condition of the ecosystem. Among the commonly used biomoniting approaches, biotic indices and multimetric approaches are most frequently used to evaluate the environment health of streams and rivers. The macro invertebrate fauna and physico-chemical parameters of Lungding stream of Dima Hasao district were studied seasonally from March 2017 to February 2018. A total of 13 species of benthic invertebrate fauna belonging to three phyla (Annelida, Arthropoda and Mollusca), five classes (Hirudinea, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Crustacea, Insecta) and thirteen families (Hirudinidae, Physidae, Anomidae, Gammaridae,Panaediae, Baetidae Aeshnidae, Belostometidae, Hydrophilidae, Chaoboridae, Chironomidae) were found in the Lungding stream during the study. Gastropoda was predominant (23.71 %) followed by Crustacea, Bivalvia and Hirudinidae with percentage composition of 19%, 16.59% and 11.42% respectively. Among Insects, Dipteran midges (Chaoboridae) with 8.84% were the dominant group.

Identity and Violence in India's North East: Towards a New Paradigm
Identity and Violence In India’s North East Towards a New Paradigm Sanjib Goswami Institute for Social Research Swinburne University of Technology Australia Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Ethics Clearance for this SUHREC Project 2013/111 is enclosed Abstract This thesis focuses on contemporary ethnic and social conflict in India’s North East. It concentrates on the consequences of indirect rule colonialism and emphasises the ways in which colonial constructions of ‘native’ and ‘non-native’ identity still inform social and ethnic strife. This thesis’ first part focuses on history and historiography and outlines the ways in which indirect rule colonialism was implemented in colonial Assam after a shift away from an emphasis on Britain’s ‘civilizing mission’ targeting indigenous elites. A homogenising project was then replaced by one focusing on the management of colonial populations that were perceived as inherently distinct from each other. Indirect rule drew the boundaries separating different colonised constituencies. These boundaries proved resilient and this thesis outlines the ways in which indirect rule was later incorporated into the constitution and political practice of postcolonial India. Eventually, the governmental paradigm associated with indirect rule gave rise to a differentiated citizenship, a dual administration, and a triangular system of social relations comprising ‘indigenous’ groups, non-indigenous Assamese, and ‘migrants’. Using settler colonial studies as an interpretative paradigm, and a number of semi-structured interviews with community spokespersons, this thesis’ second part focuses on the ways in which different constituencies in India’s North East perceive ethnic identity, ongoing violence, ‘homeland’, and construct different narratives pertaining to social and ethnic conflict.
