Preface

Historians, social scientists, environmentalists, social activists, civil societies, policy makers, jurists etc. are debating and writing about the various aspects of environment, including the environmental law, in India. In this process, environmental concerns are raised and remedies for safeguarding the environment are suggested. The role of judiciary is also very important in the whole scenario because of its time-to-time intervention; however, to some this intervention is 'judicial activism'. The environmental worry is not confined to India, at the different fora of international level the anxiety is expressed and various ways and means are suggested to improve the environmental conditions. This is because the problem is not only confined to a particular nation but is seen as a global one. The litigation issues related to environment are complex and fraught with conflicting demands, pulls and pressures, notions of right and justice and competing ideologies. Environmental laws and regulations significantly influence the life of the people, their thinking and behaviour. The success story of the environmental laws, so far, is not very optimistic. Despite various laws and socio-cultural and constitutional safeguards, the environmental degradation is very fast, threatening the society, economy, flora and fauna, wild life etc. Hence, it was felt that not only a revisit to the existing laws is important but also a discussion for the future is required. The discussions were held in the department of Law on various occasions in this direction.

The final idea about a book on this subject was spurred on by 2014 in our department of Law, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong. Prof. A. K. Thakur, a dear friend suggested to include the dimensions of history and culture in the subject, highlighting that the scope of book only with the modern laws will be very limited. Hence, he was instrumental in including the papers from the fields of history and culture, including the papers from northeast India.
