This issue we introduce you to our new style of newsletter. We believe a large part of our ministry is to profile and present unreached people groups to Christians around the world. Thanks to the Lord, we have seen and heard of thousands of Christians praying for these needy groups, and efforts have been made by many ministries to take the Gospel to those who have never heard it before. Often we handed to our printer excellent and visually powerful color pictures of minority people, only to be disappointed when the completed newsletter came back in black and white, losing the impact it had in color. A few months ago we asked our printer, just out of curiosity, how much more it would cost if our newsletter was all in full color. We were shocked to find the differences were minimal! In fact, it costs just a few cents more to print in color than in black and white! For this reason we plan to produce our newsletters in color. Hopefully the visual difference will help generate even more prayer and interest in the unreached peoples of Asia! Please look through the pictures in this issue and see the differ- ence color makes. -

These people in rural villages are still more or less dependent on herbal medicines in this age of modernization also for overcoming various diseases. A field survey was conducted in the year 2010 and 2011 using field schedules and interview was taken from randomly selected 35 respondents who are practicing ethnomedicinal treatments. An informant consensus factor (FIC) was derived to determine the homogeneity of respondent’s knowledge on various reported ethnomedicinal plants. The study revealed 26 plant species belonging to 18 families used for treating various human ailments. The most common medicinal plants belong to shrubs (46%) followed by trees (35%) and herbs (19%). In most of the cases the leaves are used as medicines. However, roots, barks, stems and sometimes the whole parts of plants are also used as ethnomedicines. The respondents have good knowledge of the medicinal plants as revealed by the consensus analysis. -
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. -

Vol.2 No. 3 April 2018 E-ISSN: 2456-5571 EVOLUTION OF RISA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO TRIPURI TRIBES IN TRIPURA Lipika Bala Research Scholar, University of Calcutta, Kolkata, West Bengal, India & Assistant Professor, Govt. College of Art & Craft, Kolkata, West Bengal, India Abstract Tripura is a tiny state of North-Eastern region of India. One of the major tribes residing there weave and wear a traditional dress called Risa. During the reign of Raja Trilochan, the King of Tripura this form of weaving almost reached the peak. However, this incredible traditional cloth is at present undergoing huge changes because of the demands of a changing society and lack of financial support. This particular fabric is woven in their own traditional handloom called loin loom. The finished products are vivid, multicoloured and showcase a variety of designs, which give an additional significance to their weaving. Risa plays a central role in the structure of Tripuri tribal community. Its stands like a fine mast in the construction of special designs of Tripura and its people.This research focuses on how this traditional cloth is undergoing a change, in the modern day Tripura, as far as their design and materials are concerned.

Office of the International Affairs
Office of the International Affairs Dibrugarh University Dibrugarh, Assam - 786004 February, 2021 Assam: A brief introduction Assam, nestled in the northeastern region of India, is one of the most vibrant states of the country. Covering a total land area of 78,438 sq. kms, geographically and politically Assam finds itself in the embrace of the North-East Indian states of Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram and the Eastern Indian state of West Bengal. On the international front, the state shares its borders with Bhutan and Bangladesh. Encompassing a geographically diverse terrain consisting of river valleys and garlanded by the neighbouring hills, which entitles it to being called ‘the land of the Blue Hills and Red Rivers’—Assam is blessed with rich biodiversity and natural resources including oil, coal and natural-gas. Tea plantations form a prominent aspect of Assam’s verdant landscape. Historically, the state formation process in the region started around the 3rd century CE when the early Kamrupa state covered large parts of modern-day Assam, including adjacent areas of Bangladesh and West Bengal. One of the most enduring political formations in the region was carved under the Ahom dynasty in the 13th century CE. Established by Sukaphaa in 1228 CE and lasting for about 600 years, the Ahoms were instrumental in establishing an stable political framework for the region as well as in endowing to it a dynamic ethno-cultural composition, which endures to this day. Assam is home to myriad ethnic, religious, and linguistic groups, giving the region a dynamic and composite cultural milieu. -
Tripura People's Democratic Front (Tpdf)
TRIPURA PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC FRONT (TPDF) STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT RANJIT DEB BARM A AT THE UNITED NATIONS WORKING GROUP ON INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS GENEVA. 28 JULY TO 1 AUGUST 1997 Agenda.: item No. 5 Mr Chairperson. Thank you for giving me the floor and also my congratulations on your being elected as Chairperson of the Working Group. Mr. Chairperson. I am making this statement as the first ever representative of the indigenous Tripuri people from the state of Tripura now under Indian rule in the so-called north eastern region. Mr. Chairperson, the most serious problem of the indigenous Tripuri people is the huge influx of foreigners and the consequent alienation of indigenous lands. At the time of Tripura's annexation by India in 1949 the indigenous Tripuri population was more than 85% of the total. But the continuous influx of foreigners, mainly Hindu Bengalis from the earstwhile East Pakistan was so huge that today the Tripuri population constitute even less than 29% of the total of 3 million. Thus the unprecedented population influx has become the gravest danger to very survival of the Tripuris as a distinct people and the consequent alienation of indigenous lands has snatched away the very means of their livelihood. Today the illegal immigrants control the economy of the state. Political power also been captured by the settlers by the sheer strength of their numbers which is the decisive factor in Indian democracy'. Mr, Chairperson, can there be any other violation or denial of human rights more serious and dangerous than this, particularly when it is being committed behind the veil of democracy"? I am constrained. -

The partition of Bengal in 1947 resulted in an influx from East Bengal (now Bangladesh) which forever changed the demography of Tripura. This demographic change paved the way for a fierce ethnic conflict that has ravaged Twipra, as the indigenous tribes-people of the state call it. An anti-immigration stance, demand for the restoration of lands to the tribals and the promotion of the native Kok Borok language formed the basis of later movements that were launched purportedly to safeguard tribal rights in Tripura.
