State Policies, Discontent and Sub-National Movement in India: Assumptions Regarding the Kamtapur Movement

This is a review paper which studies the reason behind the social movements happening in India. Based on this an assumption regarding probable reason that could lead to Kamtapur Movement was made. When state policies are made without taking into account various linguistic, cultural and religious diversities then it leads to various social movements. Also, when proper implementation of different state policies are not done and different ethnic groups are being marginalized for a longer duration there comes a situation when these groups starts revolting. The review of different studies also highlights the fact that state tries to sideline these issues by creating rift between different ethnic groups.
