Abstract

The ethnic political actions of multiple agencies like youth, students and women evoke mixed responses in the politics of the North-East India. While some actions like fight against drug addiction, HIV/AIDs and initiatives for building peace are commendable, the extreme forms of ethnic vigilantism and demands for ethnic homeland by constructing ethnic boundaries create strained relations among various communities. Moreover, their belligerent actions often put the state and its institutions in doldrums. Of all these three agencies, however, the actions of women often go beyond addressing issues affecting various ethnic communities, thereby creating an ethnic solidarity in the region.

印度东北部的种族和政治行动：机构、动员和社区关系

青年、学生和妇女等多个机构的种族政治行动在印度东北部的政治中引起了不同的反应。尽管一些行动，如打击毒瘾、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和建设和平的举措值得赞扬，但极端形式的种族私刑和通过建立种族边界来要求民族家园，造成了各个社区之间的紧张关系。此外，他们的好战行为往往使国家及其机构陷入低迷。然而，在所有这三个机构中，妇女的行动往往超出了解决影响各民族社区的问题，从而在该地区建立了民族团结。

期刊介绍： History and Sociology of South Asia provides a forum for scholarly interrogations of significant moments in the transformation of the social, economic and political fabric of South Asian societies. Thus the journal advisedly presents an interdisciplinary space in which contemporary ideas compete, and critiques of existing perspectives are encouraged. The interdisciplinary focus of the journal enables it to incorporate diverse areas of research, including political economy, social ecology, and issues of minority rights, gender, and the role of law in development. History and Sociology of South Asia also promotes dialogue on socio-political problems, from which academicians as well as activists and advocacy groups can benefit.
