Saccharum officinarum has the highest FL value (100%). Leaves were the most commonly used plant part. Key words: Medicinal plants, Chakhesang Naga tribe, Nagaland, Informant Consensus Factor, Fidelity Level INTRODUTION The state of Nagaland situated in Northeast India harbors rich biodiversity and is situated within the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot as recognized by IUCN.

  • Identity Politics and Social Exclusion in India's North-East
    Identity Politics and Social Exclusion in India’s North-East: The Case for Re-distributive Justice N.K.Das• Abstract: This paper examines how various brands of identity politics since the colonial days have served to create the basis of exclusion of groups, resulting in various forms of rifts, often envisaged in binary terms: majority-minority; sons of the soil’-immigrants; local-outsiders; tribal-non-tribal; hills-plains; inter-tribal; and intra-tribal. Given the strategic and sensitive border areas, low level of development, immense cultural diversity, and participatory democratic processes, social exclusion has resulted in perceptions of marginalization, deprivation, and identity losses, all adding to the strong basis of brands of separatist movements in the garb of regionalism, sub-nationalism, and ethnic politics, most often verging on extremism and secession. It is argued that local people’s anxiety for preservation of culture and language, often appearing as ‘narcissist self-awareness’, and their demand of autonomy, cannot be seen unilaterally as dysfunctional for a healthy civil society. Their aspirations should be seen rather as prerequisites for distributive justice, which no nation state can neglect. Colonial Impact and genesis of early ethnic consciousness: Northeast India is a politically vital and strategically vulnerable region of India. Surrounded by five countries, it is connected with the rest of India through a narrow, thirty-kilometre corridor. North-East India, then called Assam, is divided into Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. Diversities in terms of Mongoloid ethnic origins, linguistic variation and religious pluralism characterise the region. This ethnic-linguistic-ecological historical heritage characterizes the pervasiveness of the ethnic populations and Tibeto-Burman languages in northeast.

    A STUDY OF THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE PROTECTION OF MEDICO-SPIRITUAL PRACTICES IN SIKKIM AS INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE UNDER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH BENGAL FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN LAW SUPERVISOR Dr. Sujit Kumar Biswas Assistant Professor Department of Law University of North Bengal Submitted by: Karma Dorjee Denzongpa Registration No: - 740036 University of North Bengal Raja Rammohanpur Dist. Darjeeling Aug. 2018 ABSTRACT Indigenous knowledge has been used since ages by indigenous and local communities in Sikkim and has been the foundation of their existence specially in the key sectors of health. Western science has lately begun looking at Indigenous Knowledge as a basis of new drugs specially since the expenditure of putting new drugs on the market is sky-scraping. The budding phenomenon of bio-piracy makes it evident the somewhat hypocritical outlook of western science to Indigenous Knowledge. Scavenging it on the one hand and claiming patents on all kinds of goods derived from Indigenous Knowledge (neem, turmeric, etc) yet refusing to acknowledge its economic significance and ownership. Despite the growing recognition of Indigenous Knowledge as a valuable source of knowledge, Medico-spiritual healing practice in Sikkim is an acronym in terms of health care service that hardly needs to be expanded nowadays. Sikkim doctrines the indigenous spiritual practice, indigenous traditions related with religion and belief based healing treatment and is a natural centre of traditional healing practice. Medico-spiritual healers and occupational traditional healing therapy acts as alchemists. In this pristine virgin and scenic land of blooming orchids, the majority of the State population are directly dependent upon the traditional medications prescribed by the Medico-spiritual healers for their basic health services and facilities.

    Bipasa Roy Chowdhury, International Journal of Research in Engineering, IT and Social Sciences, ISSN 2250-0588, Impact Factor: 6.452, Volume 08 Issue 07, July 2018, Page 243-246 Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya: A New Paradigm to Preserve our Cultural Heritage Bipasa Roy Chowdhury (Ph.D. Research Scholar, Department of Museology, University of Calcutta, West Bengal, India) Abstract: IGRMS is an ethnographic museum depicting the story of mankind by preserving and conserving of various cultures of ethnic communities of India. The indoor and outdoor exhibitions of Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya are complementary to each other. Ethnographical museum, as we understand today, is an institution for collection, preservation, study and exhibition of man’s own works which is important for education as well as for cultural growth (IGRMS, Souvenir, 2005). In IGRMS, we can find tangible culture in two types of exhibition namely – (a) The Indoor Museum (Veethi Sankul) and (b) Open –Air exhibition. These exhibitions aim to present the cohesive life styles and culture of various ethnic communities living in different parts of our country. In the following, an attempt has been made to document the tangible and intangible culture preserved in the museum with its context. I. INTRODUCTION A museum is defined as “a non - profit making permanent institution, in the service of the society and its development and open to the public, which acquires, conserves, communicates and exhibits, researches for the purpose of study, education and enjoyment, material evidence of men and his environment". The word ethnography is derived from the Greek (ethnos), meaning a company, later a people, nation and graphy meaning field of study.

    Essays on Social Norms and Status of Women in Northeastern India Dissertation zur Erlangung des wirtschafts- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Doktorgrades Doctor rerum politicarum der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg vorgelegt von Sumantra Pal Heidelberg Juli 2020 To her. Acknowledgements In the first place, I thank the person who motivated me to change my research interest from empirical finance to development economics, Arnab Basu. Without meeting him, I might have never decided to start a PhD in development economics and consequently would have never had the chance to thank my supervisor Stefan Klonner. Special thanks to Radu Carciumaru for facilitating my admission process and pre-departure supports from the New Delhi office of the South Asia Institute. I would like to thank my supervisor Stefan Klonner for the continuous support and constant valuable advices. I deeply appreciate the intensive promotion that his PhD can- didates receive from him. Having had the chance and receiving the financial support to participate and present at workshops and conferences along with the possibility to meet an incredible number of brilliant people is something very special. Beyond academic guid- ance, he generously helped me beyond academic matters. I am also grateful to Christiane Schwieren for valuable advice. In particular, I am happy for having shared all the good and challenging moments of the PhD together with Kafeel Sarwar, my office mate, from the first day on. He made my first few days in Heidelberg much smoother than expected, including receiving me when I reached the alien city late in the evening. He has remained my ‘man friday’ throughout the marathon.

Kangpokpi – 795 129, Manipur, India Received: 26-07-2018 Accepted: 31-12-2018 ABSTRACT Kom tribe is one among the tribal minority communities living in the state, Manipur. In-spite of many valuable works carried out recently time on ethno-medicinal plants of Manipur, little or few research work on ethno-medicinal plants used by kom tribe has been reported. This present study is an attempt to identify and document medicinal plants used by the Kom community living in the Thayong village of Manipur. The study recorded 58 plant species belonging to 36 families, which are used by the local practitioners as herbal medicine in meeting their basic health care needs. The plants, so used in the treatments are either used individually or in combination with other plants or sometimes mixed with honey or with mishri (rock sugar). Some plant or plant parts are also eaten raw as a vegetable. It is found that, use of these plants in disease treatment is quite effective and promising. This traditional knowledge and preparation methods of herbal medicine have been passed on from their forefathers. Therefore, it is important to document and conserve this relevant and valuable knowledge as they are a rich resource for the development of nutraceuticals and drug development.
