Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Contents: Introduction. 1. Communities of Purulia: identifying the indigenous people. 2. Socio-economic profile of the natives. 3. Politics of indebtedness. 4. Interventions: politics of development. 5. Economic socio political conflict within the District the contemporary scenario. Bibliography. Appendices. Index. This book about the condition of indebtedness among the tribals, the indigenous communities of Purulia, will be useful for research scholars and policy makers. A combination of the author's observations while working as a teacher in an educational institution and months of subsequent field work in the district conducted during 2008, it delves into the reasons why politics (defined as ' the process of allocation of values') has not been successful in ameliorating indebtedness amongst the tribals. It brings to the fore how inward migrants to the region occupied a privileged position in the local socio-economic and political system of the district and assumed the role of agents for the allocating of values (politics) aimed at making a dent in the indebtedness of the tribals, which resulted in establishing an exploitative pattern putting the tribals at the mercy of these inward migrants. Various government schemes including the land reforms have been found to be lopsided and to the disadvantage of the tribals. (jacket).…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Did the International intervention in Afghanistan in 2001 lead to the creation of unrealistic expectations on the part of the Afghan peoples? What were the negative effects of the use of force?

How and to what extent is this intervention plagued by problems of will and capacity? The issue of humanitarian intervention has the potential to divide international institutions such as the UN and damage their credibility. The volume also questions what kind of scenario is likely to develop, both within Afghanistan and in there region, in the case of withdrawal of international forces. The volume has developed out of an international seminar organised by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Institute of Asian Studies in collaboration with Indian Council of World Affairs, aiming to bring together the perspectives of academicians, UN officials, journalists and military personnel.
