This volume studies the various forms of ethnic autonomy envisioned
within and outside the purview of the Sixth Schedule of the Indian
Constitution. It explores the role of the British Indian
administration and the Constituent Assembly of India in the
introduction and inclusion of the schedule and the special
provisions granted under it. Drawing on case studies from the
states of Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, and Sikkim in Northeast India
and Darjeeling in West Bengal, it examines whether the practice of
granting autonomy has been able to fulfil the political aspirations
of the ethnic communities and how far autonomy settles or eases
conflict. It also discusses sub-state nationalism and if it can be
accommodated within autonomy, and studies the views of the central
government and state governments towards such autonomy. An
important contribution towards understanding India’s federal
structure, the volume will be indispensable to students and
researchers of politics, democracy, Indian Constitution, law,
self-governance, political theory and South Asian studies.
