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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 1 Date : 08/07/2008 Sharing Traditional Knowledge and Cultures
    Date : 08/07/2008 Sharing traditional knowledge and cultures of different tribes of West Bengal, India By Ratna Bandyopadhyay University of Calcutta Calcutta, India Meeting: 138 Knowledge Management Simultaneous Interpretation: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Russian and Spanish WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 74TH IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 10-14 August 2008, Québec, Canada http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla74/index.htm Abstract The state of West Bengal in India has a multi-cultural and multi-lingual population including about 40 tribes. Mainly due to economic pressures the original cultural heritage is eroding. Most of the knowledge is not available in written form as it was traditionally handed down orally. So preserving and sharing the traditional knowledge and culture of these tribes is important to foster understanding and harmony. Libraries, NGOs, research institutes and government bodies in West Bengal are working in this direction. Here we discuss the current knowledge management initiatives that are being undertaken and the role of libraries and librarians. We also give some suggestions on how to co-ordinate these efforts for greater synergy and effectiveness. 1 Background Background India population – 1130 million – Literacy rate – 65.4% – Tribal population – 8.2% – Tribal literacy rate – 47% West Bengal population – 87 million – Literacy rate – 69.2% – Tribal population – 5.5% – Tribal literacy rate – 43% India has a population of 1130 million of which the total “scheduled tribe” (ST) population is 8.20% [24, 23]. The Constitution of India provides certain safeguards for tribals and the government of India grants several concessions, reservations, aids, etc. for them. So for administrative reasons the recognized tribes in India are listed as scheduled tribes.
