This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All life forms on earth are complementary to each other; the existence and survival of one depend on the existence of another, and vice versa. However, no life forms are more dependent on others than human beings. Humans’ very survival is conditioned by the existence of the natural environment and the living things within it. One aspect of this interaction is the central and inescapable role played by human culture in defining the human-nature relationship. This book emphasises that environmental conservation is a matter of moral and cultural ethics. It stresses the fact that existing environmental conservation methods need to accommodate traditional environmental knowledge and practices of different indigenous cultures in order to re-build and restore the bond between humans and nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays are written in the context of the so-called tribal areas of the north-eastern region of India. The base data in most cases have however been collected from Meghalaya, the Khasi-Jaintia Hills in particular, my primary research universe. However, the ethnic groups living in the mountainous terrain of India’s north-east, show a characteristic unity, despite linguistic and cultural diversities, that of being in a state of social format called ‘tribal’ facing similar problems of static life, economy and under-development. Added to this are the tensions generated in recent years when education and some waves of development reached the region and tribal self-governing states in the Indian Union came in to being. Consequently, new issues have come into the fore–the issues relating to self-assertion, retention of the age-old cultural identity, the crisis of adjustment between tradition and modernity, and above all, the tensions of a change-over from the tranquil folklife to modern hurly-burly including those of the fast moving world in the days of globalization. Consequently, there also appeared a concern with folklore, the search for a ‘lore’ of essential core, to write a new history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journeying eastward from the massif of Kanchenjunga, which dominates the Indo-Nepal border, the authors take us through Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh before moving southwards along the Naga Patkai Range to the hill states of Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram, coming to a halt in Tripura. The Northeast is home to many indigenous tribes?diverse peoples with distinct cultures?whose long and complex histories of migration, settlement, and eventual accession to independent India are traced here. Detailed glimpses into the lives and beliefs of these communities also lay bare the grave ecological threats facing this fragile region, with the rapid depletion of natural resources. Providing ballast to this comprehensive inquiry are stunning visuals of the Himalayan Range and the many diverse ecospheres of the Northeast, including the Khangchendzonga, Manas and Kaziranga National Parks, all UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Download or read book Tribal Architecture in Northeast India written by René Kolkman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional houses among the tribal populations of northeast India have long attracted the interest of anthropologists and visitors. Until now, however, they have not been carefully documented. René Kolkman, a professional architect in Amsterdam, studied the homes of 37 different ethnic groups in Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. His detailed drawings, photographs and personal stories show us the diversity of living spaces in this fascinating cultural area. Longhouses and square houses, built on platforms, built on plinths and housing as many as eighty-six people, these traditional houses are distinct. And although they have changed and are changing still, each of these 34 individual house-types remains immediately recognisable.
