    During the colonial era, the government’s economic policies in India were concerned more with protecting and promoting British interests than with advancing the welfare of the Indian population. Identifying and characterizing the agrarian changes that occurred over the vast area of eastern India, during a period of about hundred years is difficult task, nevertheless the first vital contact between British rule and rural society occurred mainly through the drive of the Company for maximizing the traditional share of the state in the produce of the company in the form of land revenue. Trade and commerce affected the rural society in various ways, and it is notable that the measures towards increasing land revenue were necessitated primarily by the needs of trade and commerce. A large revenue was essentially a larger mercantile capital. The first reaction of the Court of Directors to the jubilant news from Calcutta in 1765, about the acquisition of the Diwani, which gave the Company for the first time an exclusive control over the land revenue of Bengal, Bihar and parts of Orissa was to ask the Company in Bengal, to enlarge every channel for conveying to them as early as possible the annual produce of their acquisitions and to increase the investment of the Company to the utmost extent. Parts of the resources were later diverted to the fulfillment of other needs of the Company’s two other Presidencies, Bombay and Madras, and those of the Company’s treasury at Canton. Such diverse needs which were more pressing than those of the old Mughal state, led the Company to demand a much larger revenue. The demand between 1765-66 and 1793 nearly doubled.…

    These activists of Salwa-Judum were supposed to act as guides and informers for the police but this “Peaceful Movement” took an ugly turn and reports about SPOs (Special Police Officer’s) burning villages, raping women, killing people even suspected of having sheltered Maoists. Non-tribal leaders who were mostly land-owners emerged to take leadership of the movement (Ex- Mahendra Karma) there was a radical change undergoing the movement’s prime objectives as commercialization was rumored to be a driving force for the unwarranted interventions. Villagers were threatened with burning their houses if they didn’t join the refugee camps. This was the rule of law in Dantewada and Bastar under the aegis of hollow terms like “purification hunt” and “Strategic helmeting”. Thus, now it was a need for the government to bring out a change into the policies made in favor of Salwa Judum as it stood as one of the major destroyer under the name of counter-violence against Maoist. There was a complete human rights violation taking place under the name of anti-Naxalism. As the people in Bastar and Dantewada was forced to join either Salwa Judum or the Maoist group, government came up with a new policy. Those people who were forced to shift in the camps of Salwa Judum or those people who left their lands in the search of…

The Governor was also responsible for Excluded Areas were the Naga hills district, the Lushai hills district and the North Cachar Hills. The Ministers in Assam province had no jurisdiction on matters relating to Excluded Areas. The Partially Excluded Areas, the Khasi hills district, Jantia hills district and Garo hills district and the Miker hills district were administered by the Provincial Government of Assam. At the same time, the Governor had the power to withhold or apply the laws passed by the Provincial legislature with or without modifications. Among the hill districts, the Khasi hills district was the most advanced, might be because Shillong was the capital of Assam. The Khasis were in contact with the Government of Assam as well as the plain people. The political status of the hill districts of Assam both Excluded and Partially Excluded Areas was discussed and examined by the Cabinet Mission of the British government in 1946. The Cabinet Mission suggested that an Advisory Committee on the rights of citizens, Minorities and Tribals should be formed to make proposals for the administration of tribal areas. The Constituent Assembly, accordingly set up an Advisory Committee. This Committee appointed a Sub-Committee with Gopinath Bordoloi as its…
