Book Description
Deals with the modern predicament of the Rabha (or Kocha) people, one of India;s indigenous peoples, traditionally practising shifting cultivation in the jungle tracts situated where the Himalayan mountains meet the plains of Bengal. When the area came under British rule and was converted into tea gardens and reserved forests, Rabhas were forced to become labourers under the forest department. Today, large-scale illegal deforestation and the global interest in wildlife conservation once again jeopardize their survival. Karlsson describes the development of the Rabha people, their ways of coping with the colonial regime of scientific forestry and the depletion of the forest, as well as with present day concerns for wilderness and wildlife restoration and preservation. Central points relate to the construction of identity as a form of subaltern resistance, the Rabha;s ongoing conversion to Christianity and their ethnic mobilisation, and the agency involved in the construction of cultural or ethnic identities.

Book Description
This book examines the nature of statelessness in the India-Bangladesh enclaves. It traces the historical background and the causative factors for the origin and evolution of these enclaves in a specific geographical region of pre-colonial North Bengal. The author studies the ways in which colonial intervention in this region created administrative complications in the enclaves and critically examines the postcolonial changes in Indo-Bangladesh bilateral relations, especially in resolving boundary disputes. The volume also looks at the lives of the people inhabiting the enclaves and their struggle for survival amidst conflict. Rich in archival sources, the book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of history, border studies, Indian history, South Asian politics, South Asian history, Partition studies, international relations, political studies, and refugee studies, especially those interested in India-Bangladesh relations.

Book Description
The essays in this volume examine the nature and extent of disease on indigenous communities and local populations located within the vast regions of the Indian and Pacific Oceans as a result of colonial sea power and colonial conquest. While this established a long-term impact of disease on populations, the essays also offer insights into the dynamics of these populations in resisting colonial intrusions and introduction of disease to newly-acquired territories.
