A History of the Dasnami Naga Sannyasis

A History of the Dasnami Naga Sannyasis

Organized Naga military activity originally flourished under state patronage. During the latter half of the sixteenth century and the early part of the seventeenth century a number of bands of fighting ascetics formed into akharas with sectarian names and identities. The Dasnami Sannyasis constitute perhaps the most powerful monastic order which has played an important part in the history of India. The cult of the naked Nagas has a long history. The present volume aims to explore new findings which are available in various archives and repositories in order to fill up the lacuna in Jadunath Sarkar’s work on the subject as elaborated in the present introduction.

Insurgency in India's Northeast Identity Formation Postcolonial Nation/State-Building and Secessionist Resistance

Insurgency in India's Northeast Identity Formation Postcolonial Nation/State-Building and Secessionist Resistance

Insurgency in India’s Northeast provides a systematic analysis of every major secessionist group and insurgency in the region within a unified and original explanatory framework focusing primarily on the postcolonial period. This book presents a parsimonious analytic narrative involving a rich sequential account of the historical evolution of Mizo Naga Meitei and ethnic Assamese identities from precolonial to colonial to postcolonial times. Avoiding essentialist or primordialist arguments the chapters in the book demonstrate how ethnic/(sub)national identities are dynamic and malleable phenomenon not immutable natural givens. In particular it argues that the postcolonial Indian state has attempted to integrate these ethnic/sub-state national groups into the Indian Union through a combination of democratic accommodation/consociationalism and hegemonic/violent control strategically designed to encapsulate their evolving (sub) national identities into the overarching state-sponsored Indian nationality. Through this book readers will gain a rich understanding of the dynamics of ethnicity/ nationality and the nation/state-building process in postcolonial India. It will be of interest to researchers in the fields of Asian studies ethnicity nationalism separatism security studies border studies and international relations. | Insurgency in India's Northeast Identity Formation Postcolonial Nation/State-Building and Secessionist Resistance
