Insurgency in India’s Northeast provides a systematic analysis of every major secessionist group and insurgency in the region within a unified and original explanatory framework, focusing primarily on the postcolonial period. This book presents a parsimonious analytic narrative involving a rich sequential account of the historical evolution of Mizo, Naga, Meitei, and "ethnic Assamese" identities from precolonial to colonial to postcolonial times. Avoiding essentialist or primordialist arguments, the chapters in the book demonstrate how ethnic/(sub)national identities are dynamic and malleable phenomenon, not immutable natural givens. In particular, it argues that the postcolonial Indian state has attempted to integrate these ethnic/sub-state national groups into the Indian Union through a combination of democratic accommodation/consociationalism and hegemonic/violent control, strategically designed to encapsulate their evolving (sub) national identities into the overarching state-sponsored Indian nationality. Through this book, readers will gain a rich understanding of the dynamics of ethnicity/ nationality and the nation/state-building process in postcolonial India. It will be of interest to researchers in the fields of Asian studies, ethnicity, nationalism, separatism, security studies, border studies, and international relations.

Each behavioural science discipline focuses on distinct aspects of behaviour resulting in partial, conflicting, and incompatible models across the behavioural sciences. Interdisciplinary approaches seem to confuse rather than simplify the problem. Thus, we need to explore the integrating principles, which incorporate the primary area of interest from several behavioural science disciplines to resolve the crisis, achieve the explanatory goal and increase theoretical predictability. Power is pivotal in society and is key to understanding the inner dynamics of history and evolutionary behaviour. The concept of power is perhaps the most fundamental in the field of political science. I define; politics is the natural act of giving response to an external stimulus. The response is in the form of power; it is the stimulus to other individuals making a behavioural chain reaction. I generalized three interrelated principles of politics. Those principles describe how politics works, while simultaneously unifying the vertically and horizontally fragmented behavioural sciences from the power perspective, which is compatible with the evolutionary process.

This book examines the dynamics of infrastructure development in Northeast India, especially Manipur, from a socio-anthropological perspective. It looks at the pattern and distribution of infrastructure in the region to analyse the impact of education, roads and health care on the livelihoods, ecosystems, governance and social futures of communities. The volume examines the infrastructure deficit in the conflict-ridden state of Manipur, focusing especially on electricity and roads. The author shows how problems arising from poor infrastructure are further complicated on account of corruption, insurgency, ethnic unrest and the politics of marginalisation. Looking at the discourse around development in the northeast, the volume also highlights the structural inequality in Manipur and other states. It further shows how infrastructure development can become a means for enabling trade, creating markets, diluting boundaries between varied ethnic groups and connecting people. This book will be useful for researchers and scholars of development studies, economics, social anthropology, sociology and public policy – particularly those interested in India’s northeast.
