Book Description
In the foothills of the mighty Himalayas, there is a region popularly known as Dooars in northern West Bengal. Apart from its magnificent scenic beauty, the soil of Dooars still nurtures Tea—a world-famous beverage. The tea industry of Dooars is an excellent source of livelihood for many common people. Unfortunately, for over a decade, the tea industry there has been suffocated and encircled by many constraints. The book talks about five such dilemmas narrated through five separate short stories. Each of the characters is either from the working class or those who are closely associated with the tea garden. It gives a glimpse of their day-to-day struggle, individual aspirations, addiction, anxiety, changes in behaviour due to circumstances, mass exploitation, patience and depression. It deals with the social stigma that strongly exists in tea gardens and man-made problems. As most of the gardens are in remote areas and the scope of mixing with garden dwellers is missing, many things are not accessible and somewhat intangible to outsiders. The book provides a new perspective and fresh ideas about how life is in the tea gardens.

Book Description
Despite 58 years experimentation with the policy of protective discrimination and planned development a large majority of the 80.2 million tribal people languish in abject poverty, landlessness, powerlessness, illiteracy and malnutrition. Being caught in the hangover of the strong patriarchic tradition the women of nearly 700 marginalized tribal communities find themselves highly exploited, subjugated and voiceless. The present book, first of its kind on tribes living in northern districts of West Bengal (popularly known as North Bengal), explores the areas of subjugation of tribal life and particularly that of the tribal women and analytically presents the case of tribal women in a tea garden locale in the Dooars region of Jalpaiguri district. The focus of the study has been education, i.e. how the tribes in general and tribal women in particular are doing in the field of education. The field of education is chosen because it is generally considered the most important force of empowerment, enlightenment and social transformation and because it provides us with a field to explore the areas of gender discrimination subsumed in tribal patriarchy. The book has approached the problem of tribal education and the gender question in education against the backdrop of the dialectics of dominant-subordinate relationship between the state and the dominant society on the one hand and the marginalized tribes on the other. The uniqueness of the book lies in its critical approach to the state-sponsored development strategies and its emphasis on a ‘cultural approach’ for a better understanding of the problem and for working out alternative development strategies for improving the educational status of the tribal communities. Sanjay K. Roy, Reader, Department of Sociology, North Bengal University, West Bengal, had his Ph. D. from Delhi School of Economics, Delhi University, and pursued post-Doctoral research at the University of Sussex (UK) and University of Wollongong (Australia). Dr Roy has edited a volume on Refugees and Human Rights (2001) and contributed a good number of research papers to the leading journals, volumes and to national and international seminars/workshops. His areas of interest include sociological theories, urban poor, refugee studies, political sociology and gender studies. Dr Roy has completed a number of research projects; the latest being Gender Profile of Tribes of North Bengal, which has been carried out for the Centre for Women’s Studies, North Bengal University.
