The insider-outsider narrative: Manufacturing political xenophobia in Assam
Evictions, Extractivism, and the Crisis of Belonging in Assam
This commentary critically examines the recent wave of state-led evictions in Assam as a convergence of developmental violence, communal exclusion and corporate land grab. Disguised as legal action against encroachment, these evictions disproportionately target poor, landless communities stripping them of shelter, dignity and legal recourse. A majority of the victims are Miya Muslims. The paper situates these actions within broader patterns of di…
(Wl-6475)-Identity, Citizenship and the Gender Question: Locating the Muslim Women of Assam
Muslim Women in India continue to be studied as passive subjects and a minority within a minority. The focus on these women is dominated by the social aspect of their lives and revolve around purdah and their oppression under an ‘oppressive’ personal law. State also colludes in maintaining this image of Muslim women as it conveniently helps in forwarding its own agenda of ‘disciplining’ the Muslim man. With the help of the ongoing citizenship deb…
Aiudf and Assam’s Politics: The Unfolding Dynamics
The birth of the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) in 2005 heralded a major shift in the electoral dynamics and politics of Assam. The assumed loyalty of the Muslims of the East Bengal community to the Congress came to an end and in the long run, the party became the talking point for the Hindutva forces for its politics of polarisation and penetration. In its two decades of existence, the AIUDF itself has transformed enormously, tremendo…
Stigma and fear during Covid-19: Essentializing religion in an Indian context
A cursory inquest into the effects of SARS-CoV-2 exposes how easily the ramification of the pandemic has moved over from the physio-social to the psychosocial state of humans all over the world. Derogatory nomenclatures such as ‘Chinese-virus’ or ‘Corona-jihad’ can be seen as a part of a disjunctive politics of ‘representation’ as opposed to ‘representing’ with a metonymic effect. Such politics violates the protocol on naming new human infectious…
Agricultural innovation and adaptation to climate change: Empirical evidence from diverse agro-ecologies in South Asia
Adaptation or conflict? Responses to climate change in water management in Bangladesh
Water management and livelihood choices in southwestern Bangladesh
The ‘last resort’? Population movement in response to climate-related hazards in Bangladesh
Local institutions for floodplain management in Bangladesh and the influence of the Flood Action Plan
Institutional arrangements are a key issue for sustainable natural resource management. Recent water and fisheries management projects in Bangladesh have established new local institutions for floodplain management based on community organizations. Although the Flood Action Plan (FAP) was the culmination of an earlier emphasis on technical and structural ‘solutions’ to managing floods and water in Bangladesh, the expected large engineering works …
Community Based Fisheries Management and Fisher Livelihoods: Bangladesh Case Studies
Distributional and Social Impacts of Flood Control in Bangladesh
The losses and suffering of the rural poor of Bangladesh during floods are frequently in the attention of the world media. This is despite a considerable investment in flood protection over the past three decades. This paper reports on distributional and socio-economic impacts of selected flood control projects which were subject to multidisciplinary evaluations using both rapid appraisal and sample survey methods. Flood protection has disadvanta…
