East Frontier Agency (NEFA) in short which was constitutionally a part of the State of Assam.

Khawzawl College, Mizoram ABSTRACT Every tribal around the world have one thing in common and that is a system of belief in a supernatural power, a spirit – benevolent and malevolent, spirits who bring misfortune and blessings, etc. Just like so, Adi Minyong and Lushei who inhabited the North eastern part of India have their own methods of worshipping their gods. They are surrounded with a multitude of nature deities who played an important part in their day-to-day life. This idea of polytheism pervades through every facet of their lives; manifesting in the form of rituals, be it agrarian rites, sacrifices, festivals, funerals and illness. Since there are no written records which can served as an evidence for the origin of their beliefs system, their beliefs system are totally based on oral and myths which had been passing on from generation to generation. Here we will try to analyze and compare the differences and similarity between the Adi Minyong beliefs system to that of the Lushei. Keywords: Adi Minyong, Lushei, beliefs system, gods, spirits, nature worship. Introduction: took over land and Robo had to lived in the jungle forever Tribal religious beliefs system often are more or less [3]. similar round the world as they mostly consisted of gods and goddesses, spirits of different kinds, ancestral worship, etc. -

Abstracts in Alphabetical Order
Abstracts in alphabetical order “They are taking our land”: a comparative perspective on indigeneity and alterity in Meghalaya and the Chittagong Hill Tracts Ellen Bal (VU University Amsterdam) & Eva Gerharz (Ruhr‐University Bochum) The border region of Bangladesh, India, and Burma has been the scene of dozens of tribal autonomy conflicts since the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947 (Baruah 2007). These conflicts have unsettled the whole region, impacted international relations, threatened national stability, and caused a deep sense of insecurity among the locals. The majority of these conflicts pivot on ‘sons‐of‐the-soil’ claims, invoking notions of autochthony to legitimize occupational rights to lands and regional autonomy (Cf. Vandekerckhove 2009). Most conflicts link up to the globalized discourse on indigenous rights, which has been particularly powerful since 1993 (the United Nations’ ‘Year for Indigenous Peoples’). Our paper addresses the notions of citizenship, indigeneity and alterity (otherness) at work in Meghalaya and the Chittagong Hill Tracts from a comparative perspective. Although a number of similar issues are at stake, the situations in the two regions differ, partly because of different political contexts which frame these discourses. British colonial policies had been geared towards the isolation of the hills from the plains in order to secure the available resources for the colonial state (Van Schendel 1992). Independent India continued such particularistic policies, granting a special position to the so‐called tribal Northeast Indian hill states (Vandekerckhove 2009, 53). However, the subsequent governments of Pakistan and Bangladesh (since 1971) moved towards inclusion of the tribal territories. In the Chittagong Hill Tracts this attempt of national inclusion resulted in a vicious war between indigenous insurgents and the state. -
Study on Ethnomedicinal Plants of Sherpas of Sikkim, Himalayas
Study on ethnomedicinal plants of Sherpas of Sikkim, Himalayas Jha Aranya, Jha Vanya*, Jha Ajeya** *Western Sydney University, ** Sikkim Manipal University Email: vanyanegia@yahoo. co. in Abstract History of the use of medicinal plants is believed to be as old as the history of humankind. The Modern sciences recognizes that, multitude of ethnic cultures across the world often possess often unique knowledge on use of medicinal plants for the physical well being of humankind. Sherpas of Nepal and Sikkim, who otherwise are renowned all over the world as exceptional mountain-climbers have remained beyond the purview of any study of their knowledge on medicinal plants. This study attempts to fill this gap. In all, ten medicinal plants that which are used by Sherpas in the region under study have been identified along with the parts of plants used, and as also the in disease conditions for which they are employed. The study is preliminary, but it succeeds in establishing the existence of Sherpa in ethno-medicinal traditions. Keywords: Sherpa, Ethnic, Ethnomedicinal.

Hemoglobin E in Northeast India: a Review on Its Origin, Distribution, Migration and Health Implication
Mithun Sikdar Hemoglobin E in Northeast India Anthropological Review • Vol. 79(3), 241–263 (2016) Hemoglobin E in Northeast India: A review on its origin, distribution, migration and health implication Mithun Sikdar DNA Laboratory Unit, Anthropological Survey of India, Government of India, Western Regional Centre ABSTRACT: A systematic review of the studies on hemoglobin E in Northeast India has been carried out to understand the magnitude of research undertaken on this aspect during the last seven decades. Owing to the high prevalence of hemoglobin E in this part of India different authors have studied this hemoglobin from different perspectives and found conflicting results. However a systematic review of such studies is lacking from a holistic point of view. Most of the epidemiological, in vitro as well as in vivo studies show signatures of selection with this hemoglobin locus. However, how this polymorphism is maintained at dif- ferent rates at different geographical region is still a matter of contention. This review will fill the gap from all perspectives starting from the frequency distribution of hemoglobin E and its spread in different parts of Northeast India, its relationship with malaria hypothesis, the population migration, population affinity and most importantly the health implication arising out of it. A probable origin of hemoglobin E among an Austroasiatic population of Northeast India has been postulated with the help of advance molecular anthropological knowledge like the deep rooted markers of mt DNA and Y-chromosome haplotypes. KEY WORDS: Hemoglobin E, Northeast India, selection, population affinity, health chromosome 11p15.5 is one of the most Introduction intensely studied genetic polymorphism of all human loci.
