“The sphere of socio cultural changes is a field wherein scholars of inter disciplinary spectrum finds pleasures in understanding change in an existing structure. Therefore, the study on ethno social mobility is a decisive mapping of the movements of the people for socially shared values to bring in change in a given social system. This book brings into relief some observations on social and political movements of North East India in the contemporary period. Each contribution from the scholars of various disciplines such as history, English, anthropology, sociology, education, and social work portrays detailed account of individual ethno social movements over a sphere of time. It is hoped that this volume which is knit together in the backdrop of peoples movement towards peace paves way for desirable social change in the years to come.
