Compendium of essays, previously published in Alternative frames, a journal; attempts to examine the dynamics of India's look East policy and its impact on Northeast region, with special focus on Manipur.
Contributed articles; with special reference to Manipur, India.
Part of the ‘Transition in Northeastern India’ series, this volume critically explores how Northeast India, especially Manipuri society, responded to colonial rule. It studies the interplay between colonialism and resistance to provide an alternative understanding of colonialism on the one hand, and society and state formation on the other. Challenging dominant histories of the area, the essays provide significant insights into understanding colonialism and its multiple effects on economy, polity, culture, and faith system. It examines hitherto untouched areas in the study of Northeast, and discusses how social movements are augmented, constituted or sustained. This book will be of great interest to researchers and scholars of modern history, sociology and social anthropology, particularly those concerned with Northeast India.
Insurgency in India’s Northeast provides a systematic analysis of every major secessionist group and insurgency in the region within a unified and original explanatory framework, focusing primarily on the postcolonial period. This book presents a parsimonious analytic narrative involving a rich sequential account of the historical evolution of Mizo, Naga, Meitei, and "ethnic Assamese" identities from precolonial to colonial to postcolonial times.

Traders, Pushers, Soldiers, Spies. A pivot for India’s Act-East policy. The gateway to a future of immense possibilities from hydrocarbons to regional trade over land and water that could create a new Silk Route. A bulwark against China. A cradle of climate change dynamics and migration. ‘Northeast’ India, the appellation with which India’s far-east is known, is all this and more. Alongside hope and aspiration, it is also home to immense ethnic and communal tension, and a decades-old Naga conflict and the high-profile peace process that involves four gateway states—Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam—and several million people. It’s among the most militarized zones i...
Es ist ein Highway durch die Hölle, die 436 Kilometer lange Straße durch das nordöstliche Indien. Sie beginnt in Numaligarh am südlichen Ufer des Brahmaputra in Assam und reicht bis Moreh in Manipur. Seit den 1950er-Jahren ist diese Region, insbesondere die Bundesstaaten Nagaland und Manipur, geprägt durch permanente Aufstände und durch ein erschreckendes Desinteresse der indischen Regierung. Die Reportagen des indischen Journalisten Sudeep Chakravarti bieten detaillierte Einblicke in die komplexe Realität dieses weitgehend unbekannten bewaffneten Konflikts. Der Autor lässt hochrangige Regierungsvertreter, Politiker und Militärs ebenso zu Wort kommen wie Untergrundführer, Angehörige von Bürgerbewegungen, Frauengruppen und Kulturschaffende.
With reference to India.
