Explaining Manipur’s breakdown and Mizoram’s peace: the state and identities in north east India
Material from North East India provides clues to explain both state breakdown as well as its avoidance. They point to the particular historical trajectory of interaction of state-making leaders and other social forces, and the divergent authority structure that took shape, as underpinning this difference. In Manipur, where social forces retained their authority, the state’s autonomy was compromised. This affected its capacity, including that to resolve group conflicts. Here powerful social forces politicized their narrow identities to capture state power, leading to competitive mobilisation and conflicts. State’s poor capacity has facilitated frequent breakdown in Manipur. In Mizoram, where state-making leaders managed to incorporate other social forces within their authority structure, state autonomy was enhanced. This has helped enhance state capacity and its ability to resolve conflicts. Crucial to this dynamic in Mizoram was the role of state-making leaders inventing and mobilising an overarching and inclusive identity to counter entrenched social forces. This has helped with social cohesion

Recent status of the understanding of neutrino-nucleus cross section
In this work we have presented current understanding of
neutrino-nucleon/nucleus cross sections in the few GeV energy region relevant
for a precise determination of neutrino oscillation parameters and CP violation
in the leptonic sector. In this energy region various processes like
quasielastic and inelastic production of single and multipion production,
coherent pion production, kaon, eta, hyperon production, associated particle
production as well as deep inelastic scattering processes contribute to the
neutrino event rates.Comment: 9-Pages, 4-figures, Talk given at DAE-HEP Symposium held at Delhi
