Born
as a facilitating group in support of the
peace movement in West Bengal, particularly during the Third Joint
Conference of the Pakistan-India People’s Forum for Peace and
Democracy - an unprecedented public gathering of 400 peace activists
of the sub-continent for 4 days in Calcutta in 1996 - the Mahanirban
Calcutta Research Group is now known as the Calcutta Research Group
(CRG). The founders were a group of researchers, trade unionists,
feminist thinkers and women’s rights campaigners, academics,
journalists, and lawyers. This was to be a forum for policy
discussion and analysis on issues of democracy, human rights, peace,
and justice.
Developing as a forum of mostly young public activists and
socially committed researchers, CRG is now well-known for its
research, dialogues, and advocacy work. It has carved out a niche
for itself in the scholar-activist world for its policy studies on
autonomy, human rights, women’s dignity, issues of forced
displacement and migration, peace and conflict resolution,
citizenship, borders and border-conflicts, and other themes relevant
to democracy. The emphasis that CRG places on the East and the
Northeast in its research and dialogues has now resulted in a strong
network of scholars, activists, and institutions in the region.
