Multiculturalism and intercultural dialogue in North-East Region (NER) of India - 2016 - p.399-418. - Jul-Sep
This article attempts to bridge the missing link in state's narrative and intercultural dialogue in North-East India which has for long been informed respectively by the "law and order" approach and monological discourse. It does this by revisiting the tradition of knowing a complex and diverse region, and by unravelling the post-colonial anxieties not only of the Indian state-nation but also that of the diverse tribal communities in the region in grappling with ethnonational diversities. It problematises the monological discourse and "law and order" approach of the Indian state-nation building project and invokes the imperative of recognising the multicultural overtones of ethno-nationalist manoeuvres especially that of the Nagas and the Zo. The article also examines the challenges and opportunities opened up by India's Look East Policy and addresses evolving issues like double citizenship and trans-national citizenship. - Reproduced.
