Autonomy and Democratic Governance in Northeast India: M. Amarjeet Singh Autonomy and Democratic Governance in Northeast India
M. Amarjeet Singh
R1,240 Discovery Miles 12 400 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

Identity, Contestation and Development in Northeast India (Hardcover): Komol, Singha, M. Amarjeet Singh Identity, Contestation and Development in Northeast India (Hardcover)
Komol, Singha, M. Amarjeet Singh
R4,405 Discovery Miles 44 050 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

India's Northeast has long been riven by protracted armed conflicts for secession and movements for other forms of autonomy. This book shows how the conflicts in the region have gradually shifted towards inter-ethnic feuds, rendered more vicious by the ongoing multiplication of ethnicities in an already heterogeneous region. It further traces the intricate contours of the conflicts and the attempts of the dominant groups to establish their hegemonies against the consent of the smaller groups, as well as questions the efficacy of the state's interventions. The volume also engages with the recurrent demands for political autonomy, and the resultant conundrum that hobbles the region's economic and political development processes. Lucid, topical and thorough in analysis, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers in political science, sociology, development studies and peace & conflict studies, particularly those concerned with Northeast India.
