Download or read book The Resilience of Indigenous Religion written by Samson Kamei and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-22 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a sociological study of the resilience of Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak – one of the indigenous religions of the Rongmei people of Manipur. It examines the underlying factors contributing towards the ability of the adherents of Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak to continue with their religion despite stigmatisation, conversion and persecution by sections of Christians. This book reflects the contemporary relevance of the legacies of the religious movements under Jadonang Malangmei and Rani Gaidinliu. Thus, the book also examines the continuity between the past and the present religious movements with complex underlying factors contributing to the resilience of an indigenous religion. The Rongmei people following Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak, a reformed religion, are seen to be not shying away from changes in their religious beliefs and practices. Interestingly, however, despite all the reformations consciously heralded the idea of primordiality in the sense of unchanging is a sincere atavism among the adherents of Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak. Methodologically speaking, the emphasis of the book is on theoretical and methodological triangulation. Both social change theory and social identity theory are used to understand the resilience of the indigenous faith of the Rongmei people amidst dominant Hindus and tribal Christians. It is observed that the idea of change is indispensable in understanding the resilience of an indigenous faith despite the commonly held belief in the essentiality of primordiality in a religion. The book is intended to serve the academic interests of researchers working on indigenous religions. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the print version of this book in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Download or read book Cultural Forms and Practices in Northeast India written by Kailash C. Baral and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book examines cultural diversities of Northeast India. The sixteen essays included in the volume cover various aspects of cultural forms and their practices among the communities of Northeast. The present volume is expected to serve as a bridge between vanishing cultural forms and their commodification, on the one hand, and their cultural ritual origins, evolution and significance in identity formation, on the other. The book analyses continuity of cultural forms, their representations and often their reinventions under globalisation. Further, the book underlines historical forces such as colonialism and religious conversion that have transformed communities and their cultural practices. Yet some of the pre-colonial, ritual-performative traditions hold on. Through insightful analyses, this book offers an informed view of the region’s historical, ethnic and cultural practices. It is expected that the volume will be useful for scholars and students interested in Northeast studies.

Download or read book Himalayan Climes and Multispecies Encounters written by Jelle J.P. Wouters and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woven together as a text of humanities-based environmental research outcomes, Himalayan Climes and Multispecies Encounters hosts a collection of historical and fieldwork-based case studies and conceptual discussions of climate change in the greater Himalayan region. The collective endeavour of the book is expressed in what the editors characterize as the clime studies of the Himalayan multispecies worlds. Synonymous with place embodied with weather patterns and environmental history, clime is understood as both a recipient of and a contributor to climate change over time. Supported by empirical and historical findings, the chapters showcase climate change as clime change that concurrently entails multispecies encounters, multifaceted cultural processes, and ecologically specific environmental changes in the more-than-human worlds of the Himalayas. As the case studies complement, enrich, and converse with natural scientific understandings of Himalayan climate change, this book offers students, academics, and the interested public fresh approaches to the interdisciplinary field of climate studies and policy debates on climate change and sustainable development.

This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our environment is affected by several factors; namely: physiographic, biotic and climatic. Across the globe, we are witnessing several climatic events. Although the climate is a common concern of humankind but human activities itself, have been substantially contributing to the enhancement of concentrations of greenhouse gases. The change in climate is attributed directly as well as indirectly to human actions, affecting the totality of the biosphere. This book is a humble attempt to bring some of the multidisciplinary aspects relating to Climate Change. An effort has been made to maintain the original plan of this first environmental law publication and its distinctive qualities of explaining several multidisciplinary facets of Climate Change. It is hoped that this first publication of Centre for Environmental Law, National Law University and Judicial Academy will occupy a premier status as an unrivalled classic on the cross-disciplinary areas relating to Climate Change. This book, not only highlights the legal dimension of climate change (ranging from international to national &; municipal frames) but also socio-economic aspects of Climate Change. The editors hope that the readers will find this book enriching and informative.
