Book synopsis

The movement for self-determination has been a common phenomenon in the restive, multi-ethnic north-east India.In the post-independent India this movement has become more prominent.The Bodos, an ancient tribal ethnic group belonging to Tibeto-Burman Mongoloid group, had once dominated the area, but later on, were sidelined and remained neglected by the advanced communities.Their violent movement in the eighties of the 20th century attracted much attention of both national and international communities.The movement though subsided after the signing of several accord with the Government of India, but are still in a dormant phase.In this book, the author has attempted to analyse their historical background, socio-political background, the different phases of the movement so far crossed, the leadership of the movement, the participation of the Bodo people in the democratic electoral politics of India etc.
