| Summary: | This book presents a comprehensive account of the debates on sovereignty, self-determination and nationalist upsurges in India's northeast, especially Assam. At a deeper level, it analyzes how multiethnic societies engage with the nation state. Based on the framework of international relations and geopolitics, the volume locates internal tensions and contradictions among different ethnic groups, alongside the complex interrelationships between the centre and the region. It also proposes a new structure of 'Common Ethnic House' to resolve persistent interethnic tensions among different communities and the impasse between the northeast and the center. This book will interest scholars and researchers of politics and international relations, sociology and social anthropology, area studies, peace and conflict studies, especially those concerned with south Asia and northeast India. |
