Migrations, Identities and Democratic Practices in India

By: Samir Kumar Das

This book explores contesting identities, international politics, migration and democratic practices in the context of globalizing India. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research, it looks at one of the oldest migratory routes across a volatile region in eastern India which is fraught with violent claims of separate statehood. The book offers an account of how the ‘North Bengal’ region has acted as a gateway to migrant populations over time and points to why it must be understood as a shifting and liminal space through a study of Bodoland, Gorkhaland, Kamatapuri, Siliguri and the Greater Cooch Behar movements. It shows the region’s politics of identity or quest for homeland not as a means of compensating for the lack or absence of identity, but as an everyday practice of living that very absence, across borders and boundaries, without arriving at any definitive and stable identity, along with impacts and manifestations in democratic political processes. A major intervention in modern political theory – shedding new light on concepts such as home and homeland, space and self, sovereignty, nation-state, freedom and democracy – this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of political science, modern South Asian history, sociology and social anthropology, and migration and diaspora studies.

Governing India's Northeast

Essays on Insurgency, Development and the Culture of Peace

By: Samir Kumar Das

This book focuses on issues of governance and the nature and complexities of social transformation in India’s Northeast -- a ‘problem’ zone for policymakers -- particularly since the early 1990s. While governance is the thread that runs through the volume, the latter at one level addresses the challenges of governing in global times a region historically marked by acute violence, interethnic conflict and insurgency; and at another, traces macro changes in the very forms and technologies of governance. The essays in this volume point to how changing forms and technologies of governing insurgency, development and culture do not remain mere instruments of peace, but define the very nature and content of both peace and conflict and their interrelationship in the region. For the first time in the history of scholarship on the region, the three crucial issues of insurgency, development and culture have been analysed through the lens of governance. This volume, therefore, marks an important addition to the scholarship on the region.

Engineering Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics (For MAKAUT), 3rd Edition

By: Ghosh B.B./ Chakrabarti Satyajit/ Ghosh Samir & Roy, Prokash Chandra

Books in this series have been specially designed to meet the requirements of a large spectrum of engineering students of WBUT-those who find learning the concepts difficult and want to study through solved examples and those who wish to study in the traditional way. Modern-day engineers constantly encounter applications of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics while working with engineering designs and structures, converting the power of heat and fluid into mechanical work-from early steam engines to hydroelectricity and supersonic jets. Equipping budding engineers with state-of-the-art technology, Engineering Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics provides an in-depth study of the two disciplines.Key Features1. Summary at the end of each chapter for quick recapitulation2. Large number of MCQs, review questions and numerical problem sets for self-assessment3. Five model test papers for practice4. Solution to past ten years' university papers

Autonomy

Beyond Kant and Hermeneutics

By: Paula Banerjee,Samir Kumar Das

In the first decade of the twenty-first century autonomy has become one of the major concerns of our social and political existence. The right to autonomous life is now a political, cultural and social call of both the individual and group. The present volume is a critical attempt to understand autonomy from both historical and analytical perspectives. Autonomy, in this collective reading, emerges as deeply rooted in social practices and contentious politics.
