The Gaidinliu Uprising in British India
This book studies the Gaidinliu uprising led by Rani Gaidinliu, a spiritual and political leader from Northeast India. It follows the journey of Gaidinliu, who was at the forefront of the revolt which turned into a political movement seeking to drive out the British from Manipur and the surrounding Naga areas. The book looks at the Gaidinliu movement as one of many tribal responses to colonial transformation, deprivation, alienation, and extreme oppression of the tribal formations in India. It also critically analyses the diverse colonial modes of tackling the different types of opposition to its rule and examines how the State devised to permanently erase the idea of rebellion from the minds of its subjects as a future strategy. A unique contribution, the book will be indispensable to political science, modern history, gender studies, subaltern studies, political theory, tribal studies, political sociology, political history, colonialism, post-colonial studies, and South Asia studies, particularly those interested in Northeast India.
Colonialism and Resistance
Part of the ‘Transition in Northeastern India’ series, this volume critically explores how Northeast India, especially Manipuri society, responded to colonial rule. It studies the interplay between colonialism and resistance to provide an alternative understanding of colonialism on the one hand, and society and state formation on the other. Challenging dominant histories of the area, the essays provide significant insights into understanding colonialism and its multiple effects on economy, polity, culture, and faith system. It examines hitherto untouched areas in the study of Northeast, and discusses how social movements are augmented, constituted or sustained. This book will be of great interest to researchers and scholars of modern history, sociology and social anthropology, particularly those concerned with Northeast India.
Extremism in North East India
Over the years, North East India remained the hotbed of militant extremism largely attributable to identity politics seeking to institutionalise political aspirations of various ethnic communities. The emergence of educated middle class and a growing sense of alienation of the people from mainstream India has also had the effect of triggering growth of militant organizations adding substantially to political dynamics of the region. The proliferation of rebel groups coincided with the exclusion of economic issues and instruments in the ongoing peace process which has, so far, failed to address the core issues. In fact, the security dimensions of extremism often overshadowed development concerns of this resource rich region. The book attempts to analyse the sustaining force of state-specific extremism without which any possible political solution will only remain a far cry.

It also discribes about women as individuals of an independent India, in general and particularly women of the backward and under-developed States like Manipur, with an ever-increasing sense of dignity and self-worth which will spur them or to contribute within an over increasing ambience of diligence and economic viability and ongoing political processes. Many social stigmas are heaped upon women for no fault of their own, only violent action towards them, and injustice. Then, again, denial of property rights, lower wages, violence in civil life, gender discrimination etc. are some of the notable social diseases that are exhibiting in this modern developing societies.
