This volume is a comprehensive study of the challenges and
opportunities facing the BIMSTEC, The Bay of Bengal Initiative for
Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation. BIMSTEC was
established to promote economic cooperation among rising economic
powers in South and Southeast Asia, but after years of stagnation
the need for renewed regional commitment is starker than ever. The
book studies the BIMSTEC's present status and highlights the ways
in which the organisation can be rejuvenated to forge a stronger
Bay of Bengal community. It looks at key themes such as the
challenges to regional integration, India's "Look East" and
Thailand's "Look West" policies, transport connectivity and tourism
within the BIMSTEC and the aspirations of various member countries.
It also examines BIMSTEC's approach towards climate change,
disaster management and rehabilitation. A timely contribution, this
volume will be useful for scholars and researchers of international
relations, South Asian studies, foreign policy, diplomacy,
Southeast Asian studies, defence and strategic affairs, maritime
studies, international trade, regional cooperation and political
studies.

BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and
Economic Cooperation) represents one of the most diverse regions of
the world. Providing a unique link between South Asia and Southeast
Asia, it brings together 1.5 billion people and a combined GDP of
$2.7 trillion. This volume focuses on issues related to
connectivity, commerce, and security challenges facing BIMSTEC. It
studies BIMSTEC's relevance as an inter-governmental organization
in the changing international milieu. The volume discusses the
necessity of connectivity to enhance Bay solidarity and analyses
the political, strategic and security concerns that restrain
commercial connectivity. It also looks at the Bay of Bengal region
as a zone of competition-and possible collaboration-between the
littoral countries and major powers involved in the region.
Comprehensive and topical, this volume will be an essential read
for scholars and researchers of international relations, South
Asian studies, foreign policy, diplomacy, Southeast Asian studies,
defence and strategic affairs, maritime studies, international
trade, regional cooperation, and political studies.

researchers of political studies, international relations, security
studies, foreign policy, contemporary history, and South Asian
studies as well as government bodies and think tanks.

The book seeks to situate caste as a discursive category in the
discussion of Partition in Bengal. In conventional narratives of
Partition, the role of the Dalit or the Scheduled Castes is either
completely ignored or mentioned in passing. The authors addresse
this discursive absence and argues that in Bengal the Dalits were
neither passive onlookers nor accidental victims of Partition
politics and violence, which ruptured their unity and weakened
their political autonomy. They were the worst victims of Partition.
When the Dalit peasants of Eastern Bengal began to migrate to India
after 1950, they were seen as the 'burden' of a frail economy of
West Bengal, and the Indian state did not provide them with a
proper rehabilitation package. They were first segregated in fenced
refugee camps where life was unbearable, and then dispersed to
other parts of India - first to the Andaman Islands and the
neighbouring states, and then to the inhospitable terrains of
Dandakaranya, where they could be used as cheap labour for various
development projects. This book looks critically at their
participation in Partition politics, the reasons for their
migration three years after Partition, their insufferable life and
struggles in the refugee camps, their negotiations with caste and
gender identities in these new environments, their organized
protests against camp maladministration, and finally their
satyagraha campaigns against the Indian state's refugee dispersal
policy. This book looks at how refugee politics impacted Dalit
identity and protest movements in post-Partition West Bengal.
