Our Journal has started its swift journey from January’ 2013 with a few articles to promote and inculcate the spirit of research activities among students, academicians, scholars and intellectuals across the globe. With the passage of time and to cope up with the latest developments especially in the field of information technology, ‘Intellection’ has occupied its place in the web and also in the list of approved journals by University Grants Commission (UGC) the apex academic body of the Country. The response to our appeal for paper contribution and write-ups for publication in the journal ‘Call for Papers’ was beyond our expectations. The paper contributors have spent their time and energy to produce good articles, but we could not include all; even after declining several articles on review, we had to include foureen papers in this issue. Being an interdisciplinary journal this issue of ‘Intellection’ like its earlier issues includes articles from Literature, Philosophy, Economics and Commerce, History and Politics, Sociology and Psychology, information and communication technology etc, which makes the issue much more interesting and useful to academic readers. I take this opportunity to appreciate and thanks to the Executive Committee, Editorial Board and Advisory Board of ‘Barak Education Society’, contributors of articles, all those who have supported us in this endeavour, make it possible for us to publish the journal successfully and to the best of our capabilities. We solicit your support and help for the future issues of the journal too and believe that this issue of the journal would turn out to be of significant use to all categories of readers, especially researchers and educators. We welcome feedbacks, remarks and suggestions from all our readers regarding this issue and for improvement of our future issues. You can access the soft copies of the journal since its inception at http://www.besngo.org and mail your responses to [email protected]. I convey my best wishes for overall success of the journal.

Arjun* Department of Zoology Lumding College, Lumding Assam 782447 ABSTRACT In north east India various types of beverages are prepared by tribal people Viz Poro, Horo Judima and jumai by Miss ing, Karbi, Dimasa and Boro people respectively. Carbohydrate, protein and alchohol percentages were estimated both in indigenous beverages and foreign liquor. The local tribal wine show more, protein, carbohydrate than foreign one. The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the biochemical and nutritional status of Judima, Jumai, Horo and Poro tribal preparations after successive fermentationed of alcoholic beverages. At the same time photochemical analysis of plants used in judima, jumai, horo and poro on PBMC cells were also evaluated to determine their toxic effect on the host if any, consideering ethanol (50% and 100%) as standard. The present investigation clearly showed that indigenous rice beverages contains more nutrient value that of foreign liquor. Thus it can be predicted that care ful identi cation and selection of yeast and bacteria and useful fungi from starter culture employed in traditional brewing in N.E India yield industrially important and bene cial microbes for the bene t of mankind and at the same time industrialization of tribal wine massy be very useful from the physiological point of view.

IS THE AUTONOMY MODEL IN NORTH EAST INDIA, A FAILURE? 13. CONCLUSION 1 ABSTRACT AUTONOMOUS DISTRICT COUNCIL AS A TOOL FOR DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT: A BOON OR BANE? Identity has always been a subject of much contestation. Situating this core thesis within the diverse socio-political landscape of the North Eastern region of India, the paper seeks to explore the Accomodationist policy of the Government of India to 'manage' various ethnic identities through multiple provisions that have been incorporated into the Constitution of India. One such Constitutional Provision is the Sixth Schedule that provides for the administration of particular tribal areas as autonomous entities--as Autonomous District Councils. The paper is based on a study that was undertaken to understand the efficacy and functioning of the Autonomous Council of the Dima Hasao district (previously known as North Cachar Hills) of the state of Assam, in the year 2006. Qualitative research methods were adopted to collate information on the various aspects of the administration, history and functioning of the Dima Hasao Autonmous District Council.

    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 January 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Prevailing Taboos and Superstitious Beliefs among the Dimasas: A Study in Howraghat Block, Karbi Anglong, Assam Mili Hojai Assistant Professor Department of Geography Howraghat College, Karbi Anglong, Assam Abstract: Taboos and superstitious beliefs have always been deep rooted in the tribal communities of Assam and is also an integral part of everyday duties. It is something where social or religious custom prohibits a particular practice. Moreover, the people are tightly locked up in religious taboos and beliefs thus taking useless practice. The present study was conducted to find out the prevalence of taboos and superstitious beliefs among the inhabitant of Dimasa tribe in the Howraghat block, Karbi Anglong district of Assam. Taboos and superstitious practices were found more common in uneducated and unemployed peoples. The females are more involved in superstitious practices. The main reason found for the practices are wide spread poverty, illiteracy and malnutrition, lack of personal hygiene, scarcity of drinking water, sanitary, living conditions and health education etc. Their settlement tends to be small and isolated and difficult to reach with facilities and services. The present study clearly shows that taboos and superstitious beliefs still prevail in the Dimasa tribe. This prevalence may block the wellbeing of the individuals and hinder their positive personal growth. Thus, steps should be taken to alleviate or at least reduces such taboos and superstitious beliefs, thus urging the people to thing rationally and logically.
