IMPACT OF NAXALISM ON INDIAN SOCIETY
Naxalism led a deep impact on the Indian society or at least some of the states.

    Robert H. Bates’ book “Prosperity and Violence: The Political Economy of Development” takes an in-depth look at how the two factors of either prosperity or violence work hand in hand in the development of the modern world. The different political structures of today have all come about because of prosperity and violence in different phases of each nation’s development taking it from the near egalitarian agricultural societies of the ancient world to the more modern nation-states that fill the earth on every coast. Bates does an excellent job of thoroughly covering the subject and frames his argument in a way that it is easy to read and understand his points. However one aspect that is not addressed at all is the almost inevitable transition…

    Leonard Peltier was not as fortunate as his fellow AIM members. At his trial in 1977 the jury found him guilty and he was sentenced to two consecutive life terms. His trial and verdict are still a contentious issue with people adamantly defending his innocence and others just as sure of his guilt. Peltier’s supporters point to a number of specific events at his trial, for instance, not allowing key witnesses to testify and, unlike the Robideau/Butler trial in Iowa, severely restricting information regarding the violence on Pine Ridge, as evidence that justice in this case was not impartial but deliberately weighted against him. As Robideau and Butler and already been cleared, Peltier was the government’s last opportunity to see someone pay the price for the deaths of the two FBI agents.…

    In his book, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian,” Sherman Alexie discussed the required strategies for overcoming poverty. The book points out that white people have more hope than Native Americans living on the reservations (Alexie, 45). This theme of hope helps outline the characteristics required for a poor individual to stay motivated in the possibility of getting out of poverty. Junior and his sister, Mary seem to have pursued hope with a similar approach; they both moved out of the reservation. Why then is Junior the only one who ended up with the hope of overcoming poverty?…

    Katherine Boo not only describes unhappiness and poverty in Annawadi but also shows how structural poverty and inequality produced by globalization regulate the life in “Behind the beautiful forevers”. Global market capitalism strikes the root of the poor people’s anxious lives who suffer from worldwide economic slump, non-regular workforce, and the rat race. Annawadi is a slum of Mumbai in India and is surrounded by the airport and five splendid hotels. It is hard for Annawadians to get jobs in the big city so they dig up waste and sell recyclable trash for living. Abdul’s younger brother, Mirchi, put it “Everything around us is roses and we’re the shit in between (Prologue, p.xii).”…

    There would be certain laws that would be subjected to harm the Indian people. The quote, “Even the government does not expect any such things from us. They do not say: “You must do such and such a thing,” but they say: “if you do not do it, we will punish you. ”(Gandhi,4), shows you that the government was to basically trick these people into leading them to enslavement. We see disaster in the reading relating to the Declaration of Sentiments as they refer to the mistreatment of women.…

    Understanding how sense of place if the Klamath Basin has become a unifying force during the collaborative process is important to understand the functions of culture in collaboration. Because it is in place that politics and the motivations for political behaviors are born, such as the Wise Use Movement or Indigenous Rights Movements (Agnew 1987 p.49). Place-based struggles over environmental resources often serve as particular sites of negotiation where competing representations of place and nature intersect (Wilson 1999). The first press release from the Klamath Settlement Group, the predecessors of the Coordinating Council, demonstrates the shared importance of the waters of the Klamath as a unifying force between parties. “The people of this region are bound together by the Klamath River's economic, ecological, and cultural importance to their communities.”…

    Research Question #2 Migration Stories: Mapping Cultural Survival Across Stolen Terrains Leslie Marmon Silko, a Laguna Pueblo author, emphasizes the importance of place in indigenous storytelling--identity is “intimately linked with the surrounding terrain,” whether it be a specific geographical feature or the exact location where a story took place (43). When tribes migrated to find subsistence, exchange goods with other native peoples, or complete a holy journey , their stories often served as oral maps for travel, with descriptions of the notable dangers, resources, and characteristics of the landscapes they traversed (Johnson). In Deloria’s Waterlily, Bluebird gives birth while migrating, and that sacred location becomes a central part of…

    Everyone has experienced classical conditioning and may not even know it. A common example is food: you ate something that made you sick and now you never eat it; you’re conditioned against the food because you had a bad reaction. In the most simple terms, classical conditioning or Pavlovian conditioning is learning a new behavior with different stimuli that create a reaction that can be repeated numerously through a recurring experiment. This kind of conditioning is seen in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and goes along with the theme, psychological conditioning is potentially dangerous, which I agree with.…

    The tragic history of violence against native women starts with colonialism. The taking of the land is also a metaphor for the body especially that of women. Many native women had a lot of control over land and thus when taken so are bodies. To discuss one without the other would to be leaving out a true representation of the violence which has taken place within the United States. Overall, the main point of this paper is that the violence of native women and the process of taking land is deeply connected and taking back the two is a deep part of the activism being done by native women.…
