'Homeland Insecurities' engages with the impact of
counterinsurgency, migration, and conflicts arising out of demands
for autonomy in Assam, Northeast India. It asks three sets of
related questions: (a) what are the origins of demands for ethnic
homelands? (b) why does migration continue to be such an
overarching oeuvre in political discourse in Assam and how does one
engage with new forms of mobility? (c) how does a society recover
from counterinsurgency and what are the new forms of militarisation
that are emerging in the present? Working on the main argument that
demands for autonomy and social justice have been central themes
that have been historically articulated in Assam, it shows the
tensions that arise in explanations about causes of conflict in the
state. These tensions, I argue, are best understood through a
critical engagement with everyday politics of organisations and
individuals working on the ground. Although there is a general
tendency to read conflict in Assam through the lenses of ethnicity
and development, nevertheless there is evidence to show that affect
offers an additional analytical tool because of its ability to
offer a layered, sometimes paradoxical account of events and
situations that cause conflicts in the region.
