7 Preface This book is about the Bodo movement of late 1980s. This movement with its massive and violent expression had shooked the politics of Assam for quite some time from 1987 to Although, this was the editor/author s Ph.D. topic, the lucid and simple language with extensive bibliography, notes and references will prove to be an easy and informative read for both academic as well as common man who is interested in the subject. Innumerable studies have been done on this Movement from different perspectives, by numerous intellectuals, some of these are research oriented and some are non-academic in nature. All these studies do not cover the period from 1987to 2003 in a single text. Therefore, I have made an attempt in this book to present the overall history of Bodo identity assertion in Assam in a very comprehensive and interesting manner to generate curiosity among its readers. If the book is able to make the common people to grasp the reality of the interplay between identity and politics in Assam and could help in calming conflicts in any way, I shall consider my purpose served. The book is the result of my research on the same topic as part of Ph.D. programme of Gauhati University. I hope that I have succeeded, although only partially, in presenting an overall and comprehensive analysis of this Movement. I owe gratitude to Professor Udayaditya Bharali and to Priyam Goswami who always will remain a source of inspiration for me. I am also grateful to several of my
8 viii teachers and friends for their valuable suggestions and to my parents and husband for their constant support. I thank Scholar World for showing interest and taking initiative in publishing this book. Guwahati Hira Moni Deka

15 Chapter 1 Introduction Identity, Society and Politics Identity is not inherent. It is not a fixed or determined structure. It is rather open and fluid. Identity is constructed through close interaction between the individual, the society and history. As a social construct, every type of identity undergoes changes as changes take place in society, culture, technology and political system thereby acquiring its own style, organization, substance and legitimacy over time and space 1. In general, identity is defined with the help of sameness and difference. Sameness focuses on the self of identity whereas the difference focuses on the others of identity. This perception helps to distinguish one group from another and stratifies the society. To have an identity, a thing must have features that are both relevant and enduring. 2 Actually these relevant features build the notion of identity. Generally culture has emerged as the most relevant feature in the construction of sameness and difference with the others. Charles Taylor 3 argues that identities are formed in a continuing dialogue and struggle with significant others. In a wider and diverse social space, this dialogical model of identity formation also necessitates a continuous reinforcement of the same to be acknowledged and respected socially. The problem of identity arises only when the relevant features of an identity are believed to be under threat. If nothing is ever lost there would not have been the problem of identity dominating the political scene. Individual identity becomes collective or group identity when solidarities become organized for collective action and decision. This process usually takes place in time context and its coherence and intensity depends on the culmination of overlapping
16 2 Politics of Identity and the Bodo Movement in Assam symbols of assimilation and inclusion, essential in the formation of group consciousness. 4 Consciousness (race, language, religion, and ethnicity) again is multidimensional in structure. As such, an individual or a group may have more than one identity. The value based interests of the individual or group plays a decisive role in deciding which identity will take the foreground over the other identities at a certain point of time. A group may transform its identity in order to suit its requirements. As such an ethnic group may have loyalty towards the nation with varying degrees despite having loyalty towards its own group identity. 5 It should not however be forgotten that the nation does not lose its significance merely for organization of groups on ethnic lines. The whole development process in the society is the result of interaction between the state and the ethnic groups. In this process the ethnic groups fulfill their aspirations along which they change the intensity of the identity both in terms of nation and ethnicity. A sense of identity means a sense of being at with oneself and it also means at the same time, a sense of affinity with a community s sense of at one with its future as well as history or mythology. 6 There is no doubt that identity is basic to both individual and collective life and is formed in a process of interaction and relationship with others in a multi-cultural context. And the only reason of its assertion in the political sphere is to secure a groups social as well as material domination. This relationship could be better understood with help of the following diagram: Politics of Identity Political Power/Authority Social domination Resource exploitation Diagram 1 The political dimension of identity is very complex. India is a multi-ethnic nation. Here, the political conflicts around identities assume different forms and versions at various times due to divergence of regions and its people. Moreover, there are differences in people s expression of their community identities at the local, state and national levels. As such India has vivid experiences in respect of politics of identity. In Maharasthra, the region had emerged as the symbol of distinctiveness of its people. In other parts like Punjab and Kashmir religious identity has become the major issue of conflict between the Centre and the respective ethnic groups, while in North East India linguistic identity has caught the political limelight. This variation is the result
