Troubled Periphery
This book maps the evolution of India's North-East into a constituent region of the republic and analyzes the perpetual crisis in the region since Independence. It highlights how linguistic and leadership issues have long been the seed of contention in the region and how factors like ethnicity, ideology, and religion further aggravate the conflicts. It also throws light on the major insurgencies, internal displacements, protest movements, and the regional drug and weapons trade in the region. Finally, it suggests a policy framework to combat the crises.
Insurgent Crossfire
Since the British withdrew from the subcontinent, nations in the region have been at war with each other. But instead of fighting long-drawnout wars like that between Iran and Iraq, nations of South Asia have sponsored guerrilla armies and armed, trained and equipped them to harass, bleed or embarrass their rivals. The four wars in the region’s post-colonial era were also born out of sponsored guerrilla wars. In 1948 and 1965, Pakistan first tried to have its way in Kashmir by sponsoring irregulars on a large scale and then followed it up with unsuccessful military campaigns aimed at ensuring the state’s secession from India. In 1962, China attacked India not so much over a disputed bord...
The Agartala Doctrine

Living on the Edge
This volume is an account of the life and times in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. It also indicates how people in many regions of the subcontinent have to live their lives following the particular way in which the subcontinent has been decolonized and the politics of the majoritarian nations become the dominant reality in the region. Based on contributions by scholars, journalists, militants and peace activists the book will become a valuable addition to the growing literature on far frontier studies. The volume is an account of the marginalisation and peripheralisation of seemingly inaccessible lands and also a table how areas hiterto considered parts of mainland suddenly find themselves as the distant frontiers to be eternally guarded and suppressed. It shows at the same tine how people of these areas refuse to accept the assigned fate. (Adapted from Publisher's Abstract).
Troubled Periphery
This book maps the evolution of India's North East into a constituent region of the republic and analyses the perpetual crisis in the region since Independence. It highlights how land, language and leadership issues have been the seed of contention in the North East and how factors like ethnicity, ideology and religion have shaped the conflicts. It also throws light on the major insurgencies, internal displacements, protest movements and the regional drug and weapons trade in the region. It examines 'the crisis of development' and the evolution of the polity before offering a policy framework.
