Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bodo (or Boros) are one of the indigenous tribal peoples of Assam. During colonial times they resisted Christianization and in recent decades they have been involved both in interethnic violence and separatist insurgencies. Much research has gone into understanding the Boros and their aspirations but an issue has been that earlier accounts of this once-animist people are meagre and date from the colonial period. The rediscovery and publication of the ethnographic material based on fieldwork carried out by Halfdan Siiger among the Boros in 1949-50 is thus hugely important. Siiger's manuscript is unique, offering detailed descriptions of the social and ritual life of the Boros and new insights into the traditions and myths as they were told in the village he studied before the transformation of religious life in recent decades. Thanks to Siiger's diligent translation and interpretation, the manuscript also preserves a number of ritual formulas and songs in the Boro language. Siiger's manuscript is given even greater relevance by the inclusion of more recent material contributed by the editors and other contemporary scholars. In addition, his original photos are augmented by new photos from the village and by rare images from the collections of the National Museum of Denmark.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We, as human beings should not be ignorant of the fact that witch-hunting is still prevalent in the 21st century, among different cultures and societies of the world. It involves the accusation of witchcraft and killing or banishment of the witch. But the belief in witchcraft and the practice of witch-hunting differs on contextual basis. It is observed that the people living in rural areas are the most experienced ones as it exists among them. In India, the recent media reports that the highest number of witch-hunting cases that have been recorded by the police stations of Assam is found to be from the Bodo community. But studies on witch-hunting have remained hitherto less researched areas of study in the state of Assam. Although there are some studies done on the topic, none of them focus on the incidents prevalent among the Bodo community. Therefore, the research is focused on the issue of witch-hunting among the Bodos of Assam and fill up the gap of existing literature.
