CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
This book is a modest step towards a conceptual understanding of the complex relationships between land, identity and the development process, with Manipur as the context, It gives insight into the land systems of the tribes of Manipur and seeks to unravel the roots of identity politics in the state, in the larger context of a development process that is leading to unimagined poverty and deprivation of a growing mass of the denizens of the blue mountains, that we have allegorically termed as the "Tragedy of the Commons'.
Organised under three sections (i.e. identity politics and rallying of troops; History, politics and development; and Tribal land system, identity and change), this book contains total twenty chapters, contributed by scholars of repute. Definitely, this will serve the purpose of researchers, academics, policy-planners, and administrators besides one and all concerned.
