The war between Maoists and the state in the heart of India
Nandini Sundar, professor of sociology, Delhi University has been visiting Bastar for over 25 years. Her first book, Subalterns and Sovereigns: An Anthropological History of Bastar (1854-1996) is an authoritative account of Bastar’s colonial and post-colonial past.
A very important and interesting book which should be widely read.
A deeply disturbing analysis of the sacrifice of tribal lives and
communities caught between the camouflaged barbarity of the
security forces and the violent arrogance of a deflected rebellion.
The appeal for reasoned humanity cannot be any stronger – or more
eloquent – than this.
