Pre and Post Independence Tribal Unrest in North East India: A Review Study on Historical Perspective

Author(s) Dr. Gautam Mushahary
Country India
Abstract Abstract: This study is undertaken to explore and highlight the basic undercurrents of Tribal unrests and agitations in the Northeast India in Pre and Post-independence period and to trace their dynamics of origins, deep rooted forces of articulations and powerful drivers of socio-economic and political changes in the regions. The uprising of the tribal people against the exploiter groups is not a new phenomenon. There are different forms of tribal movement. Some of them launched with an objective to preserve their political and social identity, some are for the revival of their traditional religious system and some are for the safeguard of their economic interest against the encroachers. In the pre-Independence period, the tribal unrest or self-assertion evolved around land issues. The policies adopted by the British in their economic policy, money lenders and non-tribal contractors forced the tribes to start movements so that they could maintain their rights over the ancestral land and forest. Although the main issue was economic and regaining land rights, yet the movements were not totally devoid of political hues. The tribes felt that the colonial rulers tried to make inroads into the socio-cultural arena of the tribes. They were apprehensive of losing their distinct identity in future. The tribal unrest and identity formation movements of the post-independence period in the Northeastern region are in a way continuation of the pre-Independence period but, of course, with more demands coming in, while some are newborn movements with the similar kind of demand.
