Conference on DEMOCRACY AND DIVERSITY IN NORTH-EAST INDIA
UGC-SAP sponsored National Seminar on DEMOCRACY AND DIVERSITY IN NORTH-EAST INDIA
9th and 10th Feb 2012
Organized by the Department of Political Science, Gauhati University, Guwahati 781014
The North-East India is one of the most diverse regions in India. This region comprises eight states and each state is unique in its sociocultural diversity. The region has been subjected to a process of political fission after independence to meet the demand of political autonomy and identity. In spite of the creation of several new states and a number of autonomous councils in different categories, the basic problems of integration and economic development could not be properly addressed. In this regard, discourse on diversity and policies adopted by the Centre and the State can provide some clues. Efficacy and credibility of democracy as a political system depends on how it functions and delivers. How does a political system deal with the differences that exist within it? How differences are embodied and protected? How diversity is accommodated with the experience of democracy and multiculturalism in the region? The objective of this seminar is to reflect on the complexity of the majority-minority relationship, the practices of multiculturalism and accommodation of minorities in the political system.
Panels related to the main theme are :
1. Democratization: Consolidation and Contestation
2. Unity in Diversity: Learning from each other
3. Accommodating Diversities.
4. Democracy and Federalism
5. Multiculturalism
6. Minority Rights and the Question of Autonomy
7. Possibility of Reverse Wave of Democratization
Papers are invited for presentation on the above themes and beyond. The abstract should reach the organizer by 15th December 2011 and those selected will be invited to submit their full paper by 15th January 2012. Limited number of travel grant is available for the participants.
