Tribal Ethnic Nationalism in Assam and the Emerging Challenges
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
North East India is regarded as the hotspot of Tibeto-Burman tribal ethnic groups. Today this region has witnessed the growth of strong ethno-centric tribal national resurgence. After Independence, the leaders of new India adopted a federal polity reflecting the diversity of Indian Nation. The Northeast India was constituted as one federating unit i.e. Assam with diverse tribal ethnic groups. Significantly, some tribal ethnic groups were provided with political- administrative autonomy within the framework of new constitution to preserve, protect their uniqueness. But in the post independence period, these tribal ethnic groups have raised the demands for separate administrative homeland for themselves with greater degrees of self-rule. This emerging tribal ethnic nationalism has significantly influenced the political development of this region subsequently. Even Assam was reorganized on several occasions owing to such demands by the tribal ethnic groups. Even today, in Assam, the tribal ethnic groups inhabiting in the state are continuing with various political demands. In this paper, an attempt will be made to make an empirical analysis of the growth of Tribal ethnic nationalism among various tribal ethnic groups in Assam.
