DESCRIPTION
The book deals with history and cultures, ethnocentric tendencies and changes in the context of contemporary politics of a selected group of North-East Indian tribes, who may be regarded as test cases for setting up a healthy democratic system that may be able to accomodate differential cultural expressions. While describing their history of migration, distinctive socio-cultural features, problems of development and the like, it makes a special efforts to understand the ongoing process of assertion of distinct ethnocultural identities by the respective tribes, which in some cases is given a louder and more affirmative expression.
