Download or read book Pagan Christmas written by Augusto S. Cacopardo and published by Gingko Library. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative work sheds light on the religious world of the Kalasha people of the Birir valley in the Chitral district of Pakistan, focusing on their winter feasts, which culminate every year in a great winter solstice festival. The Kalasha are not only the last example of a pre-Islamic culture in the Hindu Kush and Karakorum mountains but also practice the last observable example anywhere in the world of an archaic Indo-European religion. In this book, Augusto S. Cacopardo takes readers inside the world of the Kalasha people. Cacopardo outlines the history and culture of this ancient but still extant people. Exploring an array of relevant literature, he enriches our understanding of their practices and beliefs through illuminating comparisons with both the Indian religious world and the religious folklore of Europe. Bringing together several disciplinary approaches and drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, this book offers the first extended study of this little-known but fascinating Kalasha community. It will take its place as a standard international reference source on the anthropology, ethnography, and history of religions in Pakistan and Central South Asia.

Download or read book Routeing Democracy in the Himalayas written by Vibha Arora and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically treated as an amorphous borderland and marginal to the understanding of democratic politics and governance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and northern Asia, the Himalayan region, in the last 50 years, has become an ‘active political laboratory’ for experiments in democratic structures and institutions. In turn, it has witnessed the evolution of myriad political ideologies, movements and administrative strategies to accommodate and pacify heterogeneous ethnic-national identities. Routeing Democracy in the Himalayas highlights how, through an ongoing process of democratisation, the Western liberal ideologies of democracy and decentralisation have interacted with varied indigenous politico-cultural ideas and institutions of an ethnic-nationally diverse population. It also reviews how formal democracy, regular elections, local self-governing structures, protection of the rights of minorities and indigenes, freedom of expression, development of mass media and formation of ethnic homelands — all have furthered participatory democracy, empowered the traditionally marginalised groups and ensured sustainable development to varying degrees. The book provides ethnographic and historical vistas of democracy under formation, at work, being contested and even being undermined, showing how democratisation thematically stitches the independent Himalayan nations and the Indian Himalayan states into a distinctive regional political mosaic. Combining new perspectives from comparative sociology, political anthropology and development studies, the volume will be useful for policy makers, as well as specialists, researchers and students in sociology, anthropology, area studies, development studies, and Tibet and Himalayan studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term 'development has generated considerable academic interest and unending debate among scholars from several disciplines. At a time whe the intellectual climate is marked by a lack of consensus on the term, this book sets forht a modified model of development at the micro-level- amodel in which culture is placed on the highest pedastal and evaluation provides the key to success. The book is the result of an indepth fieldwork carried out by the author among the Konds of Phullbani district of Orissa. The 'target oriented' approach of the government agencies has made them over inclined towards statistics in the formulation and implementation of development programmes neglecting the socio-cultural factors. This has resulted in a myopic development; the government's offer, in terms of development; the government's offer, in terms of developmental assistance, has either been rejected or at best evoked lukewarm response. The author proposes that the planners must use a cultural lens to devise development programmes, other wise development woult continue to be myopic.

Book excerpt: The book is a serious attempt to compile the facts gathered mainly from the Meitei vocabularly and traditional script relating to the historical events occuring from time to time in Manipur in the pre and post-British times. Manipuris have had a history dating back to thier ancestor NINGTHOU KAANGBA who ruled during 15th century B.C. In his successors were Maharajs, Maharanis, Princes and princesses who ascended the throne of Manipur. There were also gaps sometimes when the throne remained vacant and thelaw ando rder situation went out of hand. There were occasional invasiosn from Burma. The close relationship between Chine and Manipur has been shown to be established by way fo cultural similarities and exchange viz. sericulture etc. Various myths and theories have been discussed to find out the origin of the ancestors of the Meiteis. Monogoloid origin of the Manipuris has been emphasised.
