This book examines the nature of ethnopolitics evolving in the
Darjeeling hills, located in the Eastern Himalayas. It highlights
how in the wake of regional politics minorities pursue alternative
avenues to attain rights and recognition. The book provides an
astute analysis of competing claims of culture and identity
engendered both by demands for regional autonomy and struggles for
scheduled tribe status. It highlights the varied forms of ethnic
demands often demonstrated through performative and discursive
claims. The volume initiates a timely discussion on the discourse
of recognition, politics of difference, and alterity which has
wider implications and applications to understand South Asian
realities. Drawing on rich empirical research, this work will be of
great interest to scholars and researchers of politics,
anthropology, sociology, tribal studies, ethnography, minority
studies and South Asian studies.
