has abstract	Prasenjit Biswas is a Professor of philosophy at North Eastern Hill University, Shillong. His research interests reflect an interdisciplinary orientation that includes ethno-philosophy, ethnicity, and indigenous identities. He is a human rights defender who works with Barak Human Right Protection Committee ( BHRPC), Silchar. The BHRPC defended human rights of labourers and their families in tea gardens of Barak Valley of Assam, who faced deaths due to starvation in 2011–12. The National Human Rights' Commission of India granted relief and compensation to some of the families who suffered due to starvation deaths. Biswas also contributed to United Nations' fourth Universal Periodic Review (UPR) on Human Rights process initiated by Working Group on Human Rights (WGHR),New Delhi.Biswas specializes in continental philosophy and phenomenology with an emphasis on Jacques Derrida, Georgio Agamben, Jean Luc-Nancy,Francoise Laruelle etc. He has worked on Post-Marxist thoughts, Non-Philisophy and currently exploring the notion of Aporia in Social Theory. He also draws meaningful parallels between Continental Philosophy and India's locally rooted philosophical traditions from among Tribal communities.Rooted in a Sanskritic tradition of doing Darsana in a family of traditional Indian philosophers, he develops a dialogic interface between heterodox Indian philosophical traditions and European and Continental philosophical world-views.His current works are a return to an interdisciplinary worldview traditions in which he combines a policy paradigm such as India's Act East with Southeast and East Asian traditions from a contemporary Indian philosophical point of view of 'Swaraj in Ideas' and Rabindranath Tagore's Cosmopolitan universalism.He writes occasionally in The Statesman on issues related to Northeast India and often shares his views in national and international media.
