Internally displaced women represents the epitome of the marginalization and the disenfranchisement of the dislocated in South Asia. Their identity and individuality are collapsed into the homogeneous category of 'victim' and community, devoid of agency, unable and incapable of representing herself, powerless and superfluous. In South Asia women being portrayed as ‘symbol of honor’, are often used as objects for contests of male power. They are raped, molested and tortured to shame the men of ‘other’ communities.The use of gender as a category of analysis is premised on the assumption that women experience dislocation and displacement in a particularly gendered...
Straying of leopards in the crowded streets of Guwahati have become a far too often affair. The man-animal conflict is taking a toll, thus ringing a knell. There was a time when the most ardent adventurers had a hard time spotting these big cats, even in their most natural habitat.

In the process, the poor creatures - the ones that walk on the four feet and the ones that crawl are victimized. Their tranquillity is invaded. Elephant herds in large numbers have since long been invading villages in various...

The displaced are often stigmatised and also viewed with suspicion and hostility in the areas where they take shelter. They are vulnerable to acts of violence and human rights violations,...

Diseases and disorders that certainly meant either death or a lot of...
