"This book deals with the urges and aspirations of some ethnic
communities to acquire, through socio-political movements, some
measure of control over societal resources like political power,
economic endowment and social status. Their goals vary from total
independence to degrees of autonomy within the constitutional
federal framework. Some movements have arrived at their
consummation: the Mizo settling for a state when they had aimed at
independence and the Jharkhand movement winning a state of the same
name. A few others are still struggle-locked wayfaring: for the
Naga movement some light is visible at the end of the tunnel; the
Bodo movement remains tied in knots; and the J&K imbroglio
seems to have acquired an awesome intractability. In this book, the
Indian Constitution is visualised as an architecturally
multi-faceted modern edifice of accommodative versatility. Given
the will and capability of political management, the multiplying
demands of a tumultuous polity are not difficult of being lodged
therein. It is emphasised that realisation of the potential of the
now constitutionally-mandated radical panchayat system is essential
for a comprehensive harmony of the total architectural design of a
federal India. What lends the book a unique and authentic flavour
is the fact that the author has been an active participant in
Jharkhand, Bodo and Naga movements on both sides of the
divide-officially on the authority's side but emotionally and
morally on the protagonists' side."
