Security, Governance, and Democratic Rights:
Essays on the North-East
is a collection of articles on the north-east of India. Peace-building is a
more complex process than ‘pacification’ through excessive military and
paramilitary deployment. Impunity provided under AFSPA has often been misused
by security personnel. Human rights have been regularly violated. Irom Sharmila
has been on hunger strike for the last 13 years demanding withdrawal of AFSPA
from Manipur. The book describes the problems in the north-east including
security, governance, human rights, environment, corruption, and gender
disparity. The policy process with regard to the Northeast is also examined.
This is one of the first books that take a close look into the problems of
common people of the region and their fight for dignity of life and human
rights. This book will be very useful for those who are interested in the
North-East, such as libraries, students, academics, human rights activists, and
non-government organisations.
