DESCRIPTION
Socio-political assertion of small communities across the world has been in vogue these days. While in some cases such assertions are attached with inherent emotion attached to ethnic identity and territorial entity, in case of Assam most of the contemporary assertions are directly related to the felt or perceived underdevelopment. Again, reason for such situation perceived to be attached with intentional or unintentional discrimination inflicted by certain elite or dominant group of people or community at large. Understanding the limited nature of response to sporadic and individual protest against such happenings, the communities have been seen generating solidarity sand enhancing their community feelings through certain campaigns. Thus contemporary Assam is flooded with varied sorts of socio-political disturbance in the state. This book records some of these events in details with critical instances of interface between tribal and other ethnic groups perception and action towards desired goals and existing political traditions and its working in the country.
