The Socio-Economic Consequences of Colonial Market Integration in Kamrup, 1860-1947
This article examines the socio-economic consequences of colonial market integration in Kamrup between 1860 and 1947. Existing scholarship on colonial Assam has been shaped largely by studies of tea, migration, frontier governance, and provincial politics. Although these works have transformed the field, they have left an analytical gap at the district level, especially in relation to how market integration altered agrarian life, urban growth, so…
Conversion, Identity, and Resistance
Ambedkar's conversion to Buddhism in Nagpur in October 1956 is commonly taken to be a momentous act of moral, political, and epistemic defiance against the oppression of caste and the constraints of reform within Hindu society. This article considers Ambedkar’s Buddhist turn as a campaign of conversion politics that reconstituted collective identity and widened the anti-caste repertoires of resistance, and it explores its contemporary importance …
Education, social mobility, and the Bengal renaissance
This article examines how the historical trajectory of education reform associated with the Bengal Renaissance shaped social mobility aspirations in Bengal and how its elite-to-mass transition offers a useful lens for analyzing contemporary inclusive education implementation in rural elementary schools. Anchored in Section 16 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and Article 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Dis…
Land revenue, rural power, and peasant resistance in Kamrup under British rule, 1860-1894
This article examines how British land revenue policy reconfigured rural power in Kamrup and how that reconfiguration contributed to peasant resistance between 1860 and 1894. The existing historiography on colonial Assam has concentrated largely on plantation capitalism, migration, provincial politics, and major episodes of agrarian unrest. While these works remain indispensable, Kamrup has rarely been treated as a district-level site where land …
Caste, Citizenship, and Social Justice in Modern India
This article revisits B. R. Ambedkar’s thoughts on caste, citizenship and social justice in order to make sense of the tension-ridden practices of inclusive education in contemporary India. Inclusive education is mandated in India through the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (RPwD Act), and it is reinforced through Article 24 of United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD); however, everyday practices…
The Bengal Renaissance as an Intellectual Movement
This article reframes the Bengal Renaissance as more than a nineteenth-century cultural awakening by tracing how its ideas and institutions continue to shape, and sometimes fail to shape, the governance of inclusive education in contemporary rural Bengal. While inclusive education is legally mandated in India through the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (RPwD Act, Section 16) and internationally affirmed under Article 24 of the UN Co…
Evolution of Tribal Movements and the Emergence of Statehood in Jharkhand
The Santhals, Mundas, Oraons, and Hos are just a few of the Jharkhand tribes that have a strong connection to their own social structures, customs, and cultural heritage. Their spiritual practices, festivals, rituals, and languages all contribute to their unique identity and help to keep their legacy alive. An essential part of the cultural expression of the tribes of this area is the different languages they speak, which include Santali, Mundari…
