Forest Resource Management and Lepcha Tribal Forest Culture: A study in the context of Colonial Darjeeling (1865-1947)
(University of North Bengal, 2015-03) Tamang, Rajat
The present paper aims to locate the colonial bureaucratic management in terms of forest policy and its sporadic impact on the Lepcha tribes presumed to be the earliest forest . people of the eastern Himalayas in the Darjeeling region. The tribal Lepcha groups predominantly associated with the woodlands, appeared to witness extensive technological adjustments and alien concept of conservational approach, that in turn redefined their relationship with nature and the environment. Traditional capabilities of tribal economy and forest usage rights perished and systematic exploitation strengthened over tribal regions or so called forest zones. The process of colonial notion of 'conservation' in Darjeeling was profoundly developed reshaping the ecological milieu of the region like in any other parts of the country. With the codification and implementation of forest laws; forest lands' were legitimized through the state excluding the erstwhile community rights.

Water and Women's Right in India: An Eco-Feminist Approach
(University of North Bengal, 2021-03) Lama, Neelam
Water scarcity is the most widespread and serious of all the ecological disasters on the planet, and it requires immediate attention for human survival as it is affecting almost every continent causing growing concern around the world. The author would emphasise the importance of women in conserving water in this paper because they are profoundly linked to nature due to their similar life-giving biological processes. Against this background, this paper will discuss the primary role of women in the restoration and protection of the environment through joint efforts and plans, particularly in the era of water scarcity, and how eco-feminism, a branch of feminist theory, can help to solve the water scarcity if they are given proper awareness and training.
