Displacement and Rehabilitation in Coastal Bengal
The Sundarbans Delta stands as one of South Asia’s most climate-vulnerable regions. This study delves into the transformation of social relationships within communities impacted by natural disasters, employing the ‘Liminality and Communitas’ framework. The long-lasting effects of disaster-induced displacement profoundly disrupt vulnerable littoral communities in India, challenging their pre-existing social networks and forcing individuals to navi…
The role of security measures
This study examines the impact of geopolitical risk (GPR) on corporate investments within the Indian hospitality sector. The findings indicate a significant negative relationship between GPR and corporate investment levels. Notably, even financially stable firms cannot completely offset the detrimental effects of GPR. Additionally, investment reductions during periods of heightened GPR are found to be more substantial than the increases observed …
Deconstructing climate change and migration narratives in the Indian Ocean World
Climate change, migration, and internally displaced populations in the Indian Ocean Region – evidence from South Asia and East Africa
The field of migration studies is increasingly widening its scope and research by addressing the complex and converging interactions between migration, internal displacement, livelihoods, and poverty. Within this space, internal migration and displacement are assuming recognition as more contextual and layered processes for vulnerable populations in the global south. A growing body of evidence indicates that regions in East and Southeast Africa a…
Vernacular Tradition, Dalits and Connected Social History in the Littoral Bay of Bengal
The Bengal delta has been a recipient of Islamic influences since medieval times through trade, commerce and cultural exchanges with Southeast and West Asia via the Bay of Bengal–Indian Ocean trade route. This aspect of Bengal’s cultural history and engagement with different religious traditions has gained attention in recent times through works done on subaltern literature, cultural history and global history. The vernacular tradition of littora…
Determinants of electronic waste generation in Bitcoin network
Modernity Lacks Care
The article examines two aspects of development presented through an ethnographic study of the project ‘Nagaland Empowerment of People through Economic Development’. First is the discursive construction of project beneficiaries as poor, underdeveloped and backward in modernist literature. Second, the article captures inter-household negotiations around developmental resources in the context of microcredit. Drawing on participant observations, ora…

Geopolitical risk, economic policy uncertainty and tourist arrivals
The Politics of Swidden farming (Jhum)
Tropical cyclones and coastal communities
Disasters caused by cyclones are a cyclical event in the Bay of Bengal delta seaboard. Periodically, cyclone disasters result in damaged houses and the loss of crops and livelihoods. They affect every type of social and economic infrastructure in the delta, which is inhabited by ostracized backward caste groups – seafarers, forest goers and landless peasants. The 1970 Bhola cyclone, for example, was the most catastrophic, generating a 9.1-meter s…
Majuli in Peril’
Understanding Margins, State Power, Space and Territoriality in the Naga Hills
The Naga Hills frontier of British India, located between present day India and Burma, should not only be seen as a geographical or political construction, territorialized by states' administrative and political practices, but as a space of culture and resources. In this paper I argue that the colonial frontier of the Naga Hills does not present a homogenous “out-of–the-way” place, but is mediated by the practice of colonial territorialization, b…
