Interrogating differences: Intersectionality and participatory livelihood development in the upland forest of Tripura (Northeast India)
Conserving and commercialising forests: Tribal women and subjectivity in Bagafa forest of Tripura (Northeast India)
Two perspectives on women’s relationships to forests are usually invoked in much of the mainstream policies and research on gender and forest management in India. First, forest-dwelling women, particularly tribal women, are perceived as sharing some inherent and symbiotic relationships to forests and are, custodians of forests. These women are also seen as having significant stakes in state-led forest management projects to meet their subsistence…

Migrant Narratives in State-led Development: The Reang Experience in Tripura (North-east India)
Many state-led development policies in India are formulated for tribal communities who are deemed ‘backward’.

The experience of migrants is one way in which the impacts of developmen…

Communities often resist or reject development, actions which have become the main focus in academic and policy writings. By analysing the Reang experience of development, this article challenges the commo…

This article studies the main obstacles to the use of indigenous knowledge among the Reang tribal community in Tripura (northeast India), and presents two main arguments. First, that there are inherent problems and tensions with…
