Item description from seller

The present work focuses on the impact of partition on northeast India, the vivisection of the tribal habitat of the region, and the impact on the division of the tribal kinsmen of the region. The proposed book is a research work that brings a new side of partition into focus and compels one to look at partition from a fresher perspective. Indeed, the partition of India was based on the two-nation theory in which the tribes of northeast India did neither figure nor fit. Yet the partition of Bengal had deeply and acutely impacted the geography, economy, polity, and demography of these tribes. It partitioned the habitat and ancestral homelands of the tribesmen, divided the kinsmen between two countries, even though they were not part of the communal politics, and separated the families, even though they were neither Hindus nor Muslims. It was not just the crisis of Partition or the crisis of a displaced tribal population who had no linguistic province to take shelter in (unlike Bengal or Punjab), but also the crisis that the truncated region is now surrounded by a hostile new nation that the research focuses on. It is a study of multiple crises compounded by a monumental event called the partition of India. But along with such focus, it also shows the emergence of a new truncated region called the northeast, which was hitherto an im­portant link between South Asia and South East Asia.…
