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…

BJP’s Electoral Victory in Assam, 2016: Co-opting the Khilonjiyas
The landslide victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assam’s assembly election in April 2016 provokes diametrically opposite interpretations. While for the rank and file of the Sangh Parivar, the victory reveals a consolidation of Hindutva forces in the state, at the other end of the spectrum, some portions of the intelligentsia, who want to project the BJP as a changed and secular entity, assert that the electoral results do not reflect …
The Naga National Struggle, ‘Framework Agreement’ and the Peace Prospects

The Agreement has been signed at a moment when the Naga society is marked by enormous fragmentation from within. While, the GOI thr…
Civil Society’s Engagement with Ulfa in Assam: A Historical Exploration
The armed struggle launched by United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) since the late 1970s for Swadhin Asom (independent Assam) and its reaction, appreciation, endorsement and critique in the civil society is an interesting case for investigation on how civil society works in India’s Northeast. Historically, civil society in Assam has been a domain of manifestations of grievances against the state, particularly, against the Government of India (…
Forcing Prison Doors: Socio-cultural Mission of Dr Bhupen Hazarika
Dr Bhupen Hazarika (1926–2011), a musician, lyricist, folklorist, dramatist, film-producer/director, columnist and journalist from the Indian state of Assam will be remembered for his extraordinary contribution to the world of Indian folklore in general and modern Assamese (a trans-ethnic linguistic and cultural community of India) music in particular. In him, the modern Assamese music finds its highest culmination. Dedicated to the wave of left-…
Jyotiprasad Agarwala: A Revolutionary Cultural Architect of Twentieth Century Assam
Jyotiprasad is one of the leading cultural architects of twentieth century Assam. The life span of Jyotiprasad Agarwala (1903–51) corresponds to a historical phase of transition of Assamese and Indian society to a modern era. This phase was marked both by achievements and setbacks. The freedom movement got enriched during this phase and attained intensity through different experiments and achieved the most desired independence amid the tragedies …
