Book Description
"India is a land of various ethnic and tribal groups. Cultural diversity is the unique feature of North-East India exhibited by a large number of tribal communities in the region. Owing to ill-planned economic development policies, there is evident regional imbalance and backwardness in all spheres of life in the north-eastern states. Poverty, lack of employment opportunities and aimless political process have resulted in gross dissatisfaction among the population. Ethnicity has been growing rapidly, and it has brought together the marginally differentiated ethnic groups as a strong united force, which continues to have frequent conflicts with the local governments on various issues of ethic identity and independence. There has been a lack of true information regarding the social structure of various ethnic groups of the North-East India. This book therefore tries to explore the genesis, factors, causes, consequences of the growth of ethnicity, ethnic movement, state formation and inter-ethnic relations, and its impact on the social structure. The role of economy, politics and religion has also been considered as wider causes of the movements in the north-eastern states.Several theoretical issues have been discussed in this eighteen-chapter book, which will be useful for policy makers and policy analysts, sociologists and social anthropologists."

Book Description
Through the present account the author has made several departures from the trend of thought related to ethnicity as set in the West. Instead of compehending the same primarily as the system of categorisation based on a set of fixed criteria where inter-relationship of the national mainstream with the so called ethnic minorities is considered important, in view of pluri-cultural realities, ethnicity has been perceived here as the strategy of interest alliance: a state of dynamic equilibrium. The nature of exposition of ethnicity under the circumstance depends to a major extent o the kind of stimulus, received by an individual or a group at a given point of time. Such a definition of ethnicity presupposes possible multiplicity of identities and inherent plural loyalties on social, political, cultural or other counts. Importance of boundary in the understanding of the problems of ethnicity, therefore, is considered very crucial. What is even more important at this stage is to accept the fact that ethnicity in its broader perspective manifests the apparent clash of cultural and political mechanisms of boundary maintenance that are basiccally unlik. Under the given constraints, expectations for the spirit of uniformity, as it appears, is required to be replaced by that of harmony acknowledging the distinctionsof those that are really different.

Book Description
Of late, ethnic Identity has become debatable issue in the academic discourse of Northeast India. The issue of ethnic identity is a very complex process in this region. That means the sharing of a common culture on the one hand, and harping on separateness on the other. It is argued that there are conflicting situations in the northeast because these ethnic groups are trying to explore and construct their own history, culture, politics and identity from their own perspective. In this context the
