Marginalization: Women During Insurgency in Northeast Indian Writings

By Sumi Daa-dhora

Marginalization: Women during Insurgency in Northeast Indian WritingsMarginalization: Women during Insurgency in Northeast Indian Writings is the result of research inspired by the turbulent decades of the 80s and 90s in Northeast of India and Assam in particular when there was a grey area of politics mixed up with secessionist movements through insurgency and counter-insurgency programmes and life of people was being scarred for generations with violence and trauma. Caught up amidst these are the lives of women whose experiences remain behind the curtains unnoticed and never getting its due focus raising issues of otherizing of the 'woman'. Women were appropriated, possessed, and misused as a commodity in the power politics of war- a site to resolve male conflicts. The traumatic silences of such real stories have been voiced by the writers of the region writing a history of erasures. Based on the writings of B.K. Bhattacharya, T. Ao, M. Phukan, S. Deb, and A. Kashyap, this book is a homage to the actual women victims.
