PC 1 . I . .^—I CO 5 INTRODUCTION In the-early part of the twelfth century the fall of the Palas from power was followed by period of confusion and anarchy and it was continued all throughout of this century. In the thirteenth century A.D. there were the 'Chutiya' and the 'Kachari' and the ahom kingdoms inhabited in the eastern part of the Assam, In the west side the kingdom of 'Kamrupa' or 'Karaata' was inhabited. Both the 'Chutiyas' and 'Kacharig' belong to the Bodo group people. Generally speaking the 'Kamrupa' kingdom situated at districts Kamrup, Ifelbari, Borpeta, Kokrajar, Dhubri, Goal Para, Koch Bihar, Jalpaiguri, Rangpur and part of Myraensing (at present in Bangaladesh), wher.e the present Bodo people mainly are inhabited. The Ahoms invaded Assam in the year 1228 AD across the Patkoi ranges. The local Mongoloids of Bodo origin first encountered them. The mongoloids of Bodo origins are mainly the 'Chutiyas' and 'Kacharis' who ruled in the north eastern part of the country, but ultimately overcame thera and succeeded in establishing their dominion over a major portion of eastern Assam. Naturally, the Ahom rulers came into conflict v/ith the 1. Dutta Debabrata, "History of Assam", Sirbhumi Publication:: Co., Calcutta, 19SG, p. 43. 2 . Ibid at D. 49. 2 Karata rulers during 1332-64 and 1397-1407. At the same time by the sixteenth century A.D. the Kamta rulers divided into small partaand in its place a Mongoloid Bodo kingdom known as Koch kingdom came to power. The Koch kings prevented the Ahoras from spreading their pov/er in western Assam during the greatest part of the 16th century. The Koch kingdom fragmented in the 17th A.D. The Mughals conquered the western part while the eastern part was controlled by the Ahoms. Commentator Chatterjee explained in the 'History of Assam' that the history of Assam from 1250 to 1700 A.D. to some extent was similar to the history of a struggle between the original Indo Mongoloid inhabitants of the country (mostly Tibeto Burman Bodo) and the newly arrived (sino Siamese) Ahoms who belongs to a distant branch of the same Sino Tibetan Stock Out of this struggle between the Tibeto Burman Bodo and the Sino Siamese or Thai Ahom, the Ahoms emerged Victorians. But by the time of this final truimph the Ahom and the Bodo had both lost their nerve as independent people - they had both lost their language or were fairly advanced on the way to lose it and had emerged into a 4 single Aryan Assemese speaking people in Assam. GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION AM) POPULATION OF BODOS Without dealing with the geographical location of the Bodo people, the origin of the Bodos can not be clarify easily. So, geographical location of the Bodos occupies vital importance. 3. Supra n. 1 pp. 48-49. 4. S.K. Chatterjee "Kirata Jana Kirti", Asiatic Society of Bengal, Calcutta 1951, pp. 102-103. Assam is a land of multi-cultural people. These multi cultures have been from prehistoric period. The people of different races had entered in Assam and lived there. As a result the Assam became the meeting place of various types of people and culture. In the Brahmputra valley of -A-ssam, we find Aasemese speaking Hindus and Muslims, the various tribal groups who are known as plains tribala and who speak their own tribal languages along with -Aasemese, the Bengali speaking Hindus and Muslims and tea-garden labourers. The tea-garden labourers comprise of ^original people like Santhal, Munda Kol and some are of Dravidian stock. However, the population of Assemese speaking Hindus of -A-ssam valley do not constitute a homogenous group, because it includes the mongoloid Ahoms and Hinduised Koch - Rajbanshis. But it should be remembered that there has been a considerable intermixing between these various groups of people throughout the ages. Beside that in the Barak valley we find Hindu and Muslim who speak Bengali language, Manipuris and tribal groups are also there. Manipuris and tribal groups speak their own languages. In the two hill districts Karbi and Dimasa Kachari tribes people are living. These two districts are known as Karbianglong and Half-long Districts. Thus, the Assam is a room for multilingual and multiethnic population. POPULATION OF THE BODOS The following table shows the tribal population in the plain areas of the Assam according to 1971 census. But the 4 3odo leader have some objections on these figures arxl they made the statement that "Lakhs of tribala had been dropped out from their respective tribes with International Adminis­ trative Mamoeuverism, but included as the general Assamese Table-1 : Scheduled Tribes (Plains) Population of Assam (Census 1971) Name of the Total P.C.

FOREWORD I have much pleasure in introducing the Lohit Distri<^ Gazetteer, the first of a series of District Gazetteers proposed to be brought out by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. A'Gazetteer is a repository of care­ fully collected and systematically collated information on a wide range of subjects pertaining to a particular area. These information are of con­ siderable importance and interest. Since independence, Arunachal Pra­ desh has been making steady progress in various spheres. This north-east frontier comer of the country has, during these years, witnessed tremen­ dous changes in social, economic, political and cultural spheres. These changes are reflected in die Gazetteers. 1 hope that as a reflex of these changes, the Lohit District Gazetteer would prove to be quite useful not only to the administrators but also to researdi schplars and all those who are keen to know in detail about one of the districts of Arunachal Pradesh.

  • Theoretical Framework of the Study
    CHAPTER - II THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE STUDY 2.1 Introduction Assam is popularly known as the “Land of The Blue Hills and Red Rivers”, Occupying a strategic position and also known as the Gate Way to the North-East States. Assam has been a land of culture and civilization, arts, craft, beauty and has retained her cultural integrity of the country. It is close to international boundaries i.e.China, Burma, Bhutan and Bangladesh. In ancient period Assam was known as Pragjyotisha and later on Kamrupa. In those days the region was divided into number of principalities, ruled by tribal chiefs. So, in those days, there was no state called Assam. As such it is after the coming of the Ahoms in thirteenth century from Thailand and Mayanmar, the state of Assam gradually emerged. The Ahoms conquered the native tribes of the region and eventually established their kingdom which came to be known as Assam. The Ahoms ruled Assam for about of 600 years till the Yandaboo treaty in 1826 between Myanmar and British administration in India. During the period, Assam also included Nagaland (Naga Hills),Meghalaya (Khasi, jaintia and Garo Hills) and Mizoram (Lushai Hills) as districts. But in the post independent period Nagaland was made full flaged state in 1963, Meghalaya in 1972, and Mizoramin 1987. As a result, Assam has become smaller than what it 66 was in the pre-Independence days. At present Assam is an important state of North East India, which may be called gate-way to other states viz. Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur , Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura.

  • An Analytical Study on Bathou Religious Folk Belief and Traditional Knowledge of the Bodos
    © 2021 JETIR May 2021, Volume 8, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) An Analytical Study on Bathou Religious Folk Belief and Traditional Knowledge of the Bodos Munmi Baro Asst Professor, Dibrugarh University. 1.0 INTRODUCTION: Folk belief is a kind of social experience. It is believed and shared more or less by the folk-society. It has contextual uses for validating social philosophy to some extent. R.M. Dorson said that ‘Folk belief is a part of folklore’. Further he said, “Folklore is an echo of the past, but at the same time it is also the vigorous voice of the present”.1 In this regard, Folklorists have opinion that folklore is the part of culture shared by a particular group of people; it encompasses the traditional way of living as a whole. It covers a wide area including within its periphery. i.e. traditional songs, prose narratives, beliefs and superstitions, customs, material culture etc.2 As part of the folklore folk belief is also the result of social experiences which is transmitted from generation to generation orally. Folk belief and practices provide valuables of the folk-society. To speak, folk belief is in essence, nothing but knowledge of the ‘folk’; it encompasses collective wisdom and experiences of the folk-society. Bodos are the community who has been leading their livelihood at the forest areas since ancient period. They scared by seeing the natural calamities as a result they started to belief in existence of supreme power and worship the nature to get rid of dangers. Thus belief arises from religious philosophy; and this is also one of the causes of extant of folk belief.

Writing has been my passion and jour- nalism my profession, but it is quite a different ballgame when you are working for a community magazine. I was told I had a free hand to turn the magazine whichever way I wished. This, was an exciting Wopportunity for me because sometimes we don't need rules to follow. Sometimes we just need to follow our heart. Enajori felt that to me, I was to work with my people, it felt spe- cial. My goal was to bring the community together through Enajori. A small yet such a spread out community. Bringing to focus on some of the seemingly obvious yet special parts of our lives, our people and our homes was something I wanted to bring forth in the issue. Some of the accented features of this edition are the news section I have tried to inform and highlight the achievements of Assamese people around the globe and Assam in the past one year. Also, there is an an exclusive interview with Urmila Mahanta who starred in movies like Kothanodi and Padman among others.
