Construction of Evil in North East India: Myth, Narrative and Discourse is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that investigates how the idea of "evil" has been imagined, represented, and used in understanding the complex social and political realities of North East India. Edited by Prasenjit Biswas and C. Joshua Thomas, the volume examines the relationship between myth, religion, ethnicity, political conflict, insurgency, and public discourse, demonstrating how notions of evil influence cultural identities and social narratives. The book analyzes diverse themes, including indigenous belief systems, myths and folklore, ethnic conflicts, insurgency, state violence, religious interpretations, and philosophical understandings of good and evil. By combining perspectives from philosophy, sociology, anthropology, history, political science, and literary studies, the contributors explain how the concept of evil is constructed and employed in both traditional narratives and contemporary political debates. The essays also explore possibilities for reconciliation, peace-building, and social transformation within the region. Intended for researchers, postgraduate students, and scholars of North East Indian studies, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, political science, and peace and conflict studies, the book offers a critical framework for understanding the cultural and political complexities of one of India's most diverse regions.
