When the border crosses the river
Ethnopolitics, development, and tribal status in Darjeeling Himalayas
This article draws on over a decade of research, including recent fieldwork, to trace the ethnopolitics in the Darjeeling Hills through long historical trajectories of creating ethnic subjects, from Gorkhas to Tribals and then to economic packages tied to exclusive claims of indigeneity. Across centuries of ethnic politics in the Darjeeling Hills, political movements have largely ignored the material (economic) conditions of individuals, societie…
Indigenous Religions in the Eastern Himalayas
Based on ethnographic research among the Misings of Assam and the ethnic communities of the Darjeeling Himalayas, the paper seeks to highlight the intricate relationship between Indigenous communities and their natural surroundings maintained through sacred connections of revering the spirits that govern it. It brings forth the notions of healing and care amongst these communities by engaging with practices of spirit worship, which govern the dai…
Land’ as a site of contestation
As the dominant narratives of ethnicity have been centered on the issues of ethnic identity and nationalism as a form of pre-given category, the invocation of ‘land’ remains marginal to ethnic politics. Many studies on the politics of ethnic homelands in South Asia has further marginalized the notion of ‘land’ in the study of ethnicity and nationalism and overemphasized ethnic identity as a dominant approach to understand the relationship between…
Environmentalism in the Darjeeling hills
This article focuses on the discourse on environmentalism in the Darjeeling hills, which has been hidden and/or overshadowed by factors such as ethnicity, nationalism and state-making. Centring on what I call the ‘environmentalism of the hills’, this article examines the history of environmentalism in the Indian Himalayas that was shaped by how British colonialism controlled territories, resources and subjects. I show how colonialism resulted in …
Gorkhas and their Land
Among the various crises that have fuelled multiple ethnic movements in India, the crisis of 'land' is one of the most fundamental yet understudied domains in the study of ethnicity and nationalism. This article examines the intricate relationship between land and ethnicity through the case study of Gorkha's demand for 'Gorkhaland' in Darjeeling Hills, India. The scholarship on the ethnic study has largely failed to understand the significance of…
Rethinking Hill-Valley Binary
This article attempts to engage with the trends of writing sociology in India by locating the argument within the discourse of coproduction of space, identity and belonging. It aims to interrogate colonial as well as post-colonial construal of hill-valley binaries in the context of the dictum of methodological nationalism in India. It is categorically imperative on our part to posit ‘the historicising the Himalayas’ in terms of colonial dispensat…
