Diverging from reductionist studies of Northeast India and its
multifarious conflicts, this book presents an exclusive and
intricate, empirical and theoretical study of Assam as a conflict
zone. It traces the genesis and evolution of the ethnic and
nationalistic politics in the state, and explores how this gave
birth to nativist and militant movements. It further discusses how
the State's responses seem to have exacerbated rather than
mitigated the conflict situation. The author proposes ethnic
reconciliation as an effective way out of the current chaos, and
finds the key in examining the relations between three communities
(Axamiya, Bodo and Koch) from Bodoland, the most violent region of
Assam. She stresses upon the need to redefine 'Axamiya', an issue
of much discord in Assam's ethnic politics since the modern-day
formulation of the Axamiya nation. The book will prove essential to
scholars and students of peace and conflict studies, sociology,
political science, and history, as also to policy-makers and those
interested in Northeast India.
