Abstract
This book explores the politics of identity in general and North Bengal in particular. The people of North Bengal and North East India have continuously demanded autonomy and “separate statehood” that is not only based on underdevelopment but also their subjective experience of “citizenship”, “nomadic”, cultural roots, and even geopolitical importance. At present the political distress that one region controls the other for the sake of their own makes a narrative of “Uttarbanga banchita”. This book explores the reason behind this political expression, which has now become noticed.
