These phyla encompass a minimum of 11, but probably 15 or even more mutually unintelligible languages, all showing considerable internal dialect variation. Previous literature provided largely incomplete or incorrect accounts of these phyla. Based on recent field research, this article discusses in detail the several languages of four phyla whose speakers are included in the Monpa Scheduled Tribe, providing the most accurate speaker data, geographical distribution, internal variation and degree of endangerment. The article also provides some insights into the historical background of the area and the impact this has had on the distribution of the ethnolinguistic groups. Keywords: Arunachal Pradesh, Tibeto-Burman, Trans-Himalayan, Monpa 1. INTRODUCTION Arunachal Pradesh is ethnically and linguistically the most diverse state of India. -
Tribes in India
SIXTH SEMESTER (HONS) PAPER: DSE3T/ UNIT-I TRIBES IN INDIA Brief History: The tribal population is found in almost all parts of the world. India is one of the two largest concentrations of tribal population. The tribal community constitutes an important part of Indian social structure. Tribes are earliest communities as they are the first settlers. The tribal are said to be the original inhabitants of this land. These groups are still in primitive stage and often referred to as Primitive or Adavasis, Aborigines or Girijans and so on. The tribal population in India, according to 2011 census is 8.6%. At present India has the second largest population in the world next to Africa. Our most of the tribal population is concentrated in the eastern (West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand) and central (Madhya Pradesh, Chhattishgarh, Andhra Pradesh) tribal belt. Among the major tribes, the population of Bhil is about six million followed by the Gond (about 5 million), the Santal (about 4 million), and the Oraon (about 2 million). Tribals are called variously in different countries. For instance, in the United States of America, they are known as ‘Red Indians’, in Australia as ‘Aborigines’, in the European countries as ‘Gypsys’ , in the African and Asian countries as ‘Tribals’. The term ‘tribes’ in the Indian context today are referred as ‘Scheduled Tribes’. These communities are regarded as the earliest among the present inhabitants of India. And it is considered that they have survived here with their unchanging ways of life for centuries. Many of the tribals are still in a primitive stage and far from the impact of modern civilization. -

More than 3,000 caste communities and 700 tribal communities inhabit different states and union territories. Not confined to a particular territory, they are spread in different ecological, geographical and cultural zones. The tribal communities in India are classified on the basis of: racial features, economy, language and geography. Except for a few cases, there exists a diversity in customs and traditions of tribes, and these are transmitted orally from one generation to another. Forests are the home to tribal people. Their socio-cultural life is mostly woven around nature; they are intimately connected with forest ecology. Forests provide the source and means of survival. These tribals have been living in forests for ages and have an affinity to forests. The tribals know how to live in harmony with * Contributed by Dr. D.V. Prasad.

The Lepchas: from Legends to the Present Day
kELiGioN AND SociBTV Vol. XXXH, No. 2, June 1985 The Lepchas: From Legends to the Present Day Tanka B. Subba, Rajammmohmpur Introduction The Lepcha community has historical importance in the hill areas of Sikkim and Darj eling in India. A plethora of books and articles is available on them, written since as early as 1840 to the present day. These writings are mainly by British scholars like Campbell, Hooker, Hunter, Hodgson, Gorer, Mainwaring and Sprigg and by some Indian scholars like K. K. Das, A. K. Das and R. N. Thakur. Chie Nakane, a Japanese, and Halfdan Siiger, a Dane, have also contributed to the stock ofliterature on the Lepchas. A survey of literature on the Lepchas reveals, among others, the following main shortcomings: (i) Some of the earlier scholars have misunderstood the Lepchas especially with reference to their origin; (ii) the change in their socio-economic life has not been properly studied in its historical perspective ; and (iii) the grov ng difibrentiation (or stratification)—social as well as economic—has been almost totally ignored. On the other hand, A-POF Mei to some, about the land alienation and physical disappearance is amply projected. \ The objective of this paper is to clear some of the mist about the Lepchas and present a coherent picture ofthe Lepchas from the legendary days to the present. The data on the historical aspect are culled from secondary sources and supplemented by my own field observations and interviews in Darjeeling and Sikkim which together formed one political territory tiU the mid-nineteenth century and the current data have been based on my field Work in Tanek village. -
The Bhutia Dictionary: Preventing Himalayan Language Extinction Project Leader: William Chen in Consultation with Dr
The Bhutia Dictionary: Preventing Himalayan Language Extinction Project Leader: William Chen In consultation with Dr. Amy Holmes-Tagchungdarpa and Dr. Kalzang Bhutia Date Range: Mid-June to July 2019 Country of Project: Sikkim, India Background Information: Sikkim is a multiethnic and multilingual state located in the eastern Himalayan region of India, bordering Tibetan cultural areas in China, Bhutan, Nepal and West Bengal in India. Due to their central location, the roughly 540,000 residents speak a variety of languages: English, Nepali, Bhutia, Lepcha, Limbu, Gurung, Manger, Mukhia, Newari, Rai, Sherpa and Tamang. Many of these local languages predate the dominant languages of English and Nepali by hundreds of years and have deep roots to the history of Sikkim. However, despite the rich histories of these languages, they are rapidly falling out of use. One of these languages, Bhutia is especially at high risk and on the verge of extinction with only 7% (as of 2006) of Sikkimese students of grade 8-12 identifying as speakers of Bhutia. The state government educational institutional preference for English and Nepali and historical forms of imperialism in the region have marginalized local indigenous languages like Bhutia. Additionally, there are no publicly accessible Bhutia language resources for people who do not grow up speaking Bhutia, aside from those developed for students in government schools. Action needs to be taken to prevent the practical extinction of Bhutia. There is a strong ethical reason to promote Bhutia as the extinction of Bhutia’s usage in the real world means the loss of an entire culture. The disappearance of Bhutia language use foreshadows issues currently faced by other language communities in Sikkim. -

Yul-Lha Gzhi Bdag) and Lhopo (Bhutia) Villagers in Sikkim1
https://doi.org/10.7592/FEJF2019.75.bhutia “I EXIST THEREFORE YOU EXIST, WE EXIST THEREFORE THEY EXIST”: NARRATIVES OF MUTUALITY BETWEEN DEITIES (YUL-LHA GZHI BDAG) AND LHOPO (BHUTIA) VILLAGERS IN SIKKIM1 Kikee D. Bhutia Doctoral student Department of Estonian and Comparative Folklore University of Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This article engages with the presence, personalities, and lives of yul lha gzhi bdag (protective and guardian deities) who reside with the Lhopo (Bhu- tia) community in Sikkim, India. Informed by fieldwork, and through narratives, observations, and experiences, I illustrate and discuss how interactions and con- nections between villagers and deities are shaped by principles of relationality and mutuality. After discussing the various meanings and manifestations yul lha gzhi bdag take on in diverse Himalayan contexts, I illustrate through discus- sions of rituals, practices, beliefs, and narratives how the ‘mundane’ routines and lifeworld of the Lhopo villagers variously connect with, and derive meaning from, the supernatural world that surrounds them. I argue, however, that this is not a one-way process but that deities similarly rely on villagers to derive and validate their existence in the world. This mutuality, however, increasingly finds itself under strain as a result of social processes of modernity, globalization, changing relations with land, religious conversion, and competing forms of educational and medical knowledge, on which I reflect in the conclusion. Keywords: Buddhism, everyday practices, mutuality of being, narratives, yul lha gzhi bdag (guardian deities) INTRODUCTION “If you put your hands into a beehive, it will hurt, right? Your research is like putting your hands into a beehive,” a senior monk warned me after I had told him I wished to research the yul lha gzhi bdag (guardian deities).
