Recent survey among the Mech tribe living in the Duars of West Bengal, India, has recorded the uses of 20 different species of animals along with 11 species of plants in traditional medicines to cure different ailments. However, more efforts need to be exercised to explore and document the traditional ethnozoological knowledge accumulated by Mech and other tribes living in this region, so that, it can be put to the human welfare.

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.

ABSTRACT: Jalpaiguri district is mainly a tribal based area18.87% scheduled tribe people out of total number of scheduled tribes of West Bengal exist at present here. The tribal people of the district of Jalpaiguri can be divided broadly into two groups one of which is the early living resident group the Indo-Mongolians like- Mech, Rabha, Garo, Toto etc. and second is tribal settlers they were Santan, Oraon, Munda, Ho etc. Many authors have described the meches differently.They have their own social system and ethnic culture. But their life is changing with time.In my article I have tried to explore the present condition of mech women. Though some development are seen in their present status but the overall condition has not yet been sufficiently improved due to various reasons. I have studied two different type of villages and tried to find out the propor image of their present reality. KEYWORDS: Mech tribe, social custom, women, education, economy, problems.

    Chapter-7 PROBLEMS OF TRIBAL PEOPLE 7.1 Introduction Tribes are generally backward, economically as well as educationally. The situation is not uniform in all the parts of India. In the north-east, the situation has been disturbed for several years, whereas in the mainland (central India) problems related to poverty, unemployment, indebtedness, backwardness and ignorance are acute. The tribes of the north- east have a high level of politicisation, literacy and a high standard of living compared to their counterparts in other parts. The tribes were alienated from their own lands. The landlords and moneylenders of the plains gradually replaced the tribal landowners. The survey done by B. K. Roy Burman (1972) shows that the tribals are the most backward as because of their low literacy and primitive economy. Since tribal people are at different social, political, economic and ecological levels, their problems also differ in degree from each other. These differences can be seen in terms of hill tribes and plainsmen; between those who are engaged in forest-based economic pursuits and the ones who are employed as settled agriculturists; or between those who are Hinduised or converted to Christianity; and those who are adhering to an unadulterated tribal way of life (Sharma, 2008). Despite these distinctions, some common problems of the tribal people are: 1) Poverty and exploitation. 2) Economic and technological backwardness. 3) Socio-cultural handicaps. 4) Problems of assimilation with the non-tribal population. -fold classification of the Indian tribes provides a clear picture of the problem of tribes in India. Dube (1982) mentions: (1) aboriginals living in seclusion; (2) tribal groups having an association with the neighbouring non-tribal society and also maintaining their distinctiveness; (3) tribals living in village along with caste groups, sects and religious groups and maintaining their identity; (4) tribals who have been degraded to the status of untouchables; (5) tribals who enjoy high social, economic and political status.

    Culture survival for the indigenous communities with reference to North Bengal, Rajbanshi people and Koch Bihar under the British East India Company rule (1757-1857) Culture survival for the indigenous communities (With Special Reference to the Sub-Himalayan Folk People of North Bengal including the Rajbanshis) Ashok Das Gupta, Anthropology, University of North Bengal, India Short Abstract: This paper will focus on the aspect of culture survival of the local/indigenous/folk/marginalized peoples in this era of global market economy. Long Abstract: Common people are often considered as pre-state primitive groups believing only in self- reliance, autonomy, transnationality, migration and ancient trade routes. They seldom form their ancient urbanism, own civilization and Great Traditions. Or they may remain stable on their simple life with fulfillment of psychobiological needs. They are often considered as serious threat to the state instead and ignored by the mainstream. They also believe on identities, race and ethnicity, aboriginality, city state, nation state, microstate and republican confederacies. They could bear both hidden and open perspectives. They say that they are the aboriginals. States were in compromise with big trade houses to counter these outsiders, isolate them, condemn them, assimilate them and integrate them. Bringing them from pre-state to pro-state is actually a huge task and you have do deal with their production system, social system and mental construct as well. And till then these people love their ethnic identities and are in favour of their cultural survival that provide them a virtual safeguard and never allow them to forget about nature- human-supernature relationship: in one phrase the way of living.

The Bodos are the largest and dominant plain tribe of Assam. They are also the real roots of the present Assamese culture. They belong to the Indo-Mongoloid stock and their population being concentrated mostly on the North bank of the Brahmaputra river with some of them are staying on the south bank as well. Few of them are staying in Burma, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sikkim and Bhutan. Linguistically, their origin is derived from the Assam Burmese branch of TibetoBurman sub-family. Regarding the migration of the Bodos into India, there is no authentic source of history as because they have been inhabiting in the North-Eastern region of this country since time immemorial. Apart from that, the roles played by different tribal political and non-political organizations had constructed the Bodo ethnic assertion and awakened them in socio-cultural and political fields. These are remarkable inspirational ways which made them aware to regain their lost position in the post-colonial period for their distinct identity formation.
