  • Ethnic Consciousness and the Identity Movement of the Thengal Kachari of Assam
    www.ijird.com May, 2014 Vol 3 Issue 5 ISSN 2278 – 0211 (Online) Ethnic Consciousness and the Identity Movement of the Thengal Kachari of Assam Biswajit Borah Ph. D Scholar, Department of Sociology, Assam University, Silchar, India Abstract: At present many countries of the world are facing immense disturbances caused by both violent and non-violent ethnic movements. In India after independence, a number of movements for autonomy or statehood have been organized from time to time by various ethnic groups. The North-Eastern region of India has attracted much attention since independence because of the separatist and secessionist movements organized from time to time by different ethnic groups demanding statehood or union territory status or even secession from India. Ethnic consciousness and identity movement among the Thengal Kachari is a very recent phenomenon. The origin of the movement can be traced to the 9th decade of twenty century. Most remarkable chapter of their identity movements is that unlike all other ethnic groups of Assam, their identity movement is peaceful in nature. Their movement was carried out successfully without taking path of any violence and bloodshed. They have got an autonomous council in 2005 through which they got autonomous rights to some extent. In the present paper an attempt has been made to understand ethnic consciousness and identity movement in the Thengal Kachari of Assam. Key words: Ethnicity, Movement, Thengal Kachari etc. 1. Introduction Ethnic consciousness and the identity movement is a global phenomenon today. The history of world is replete with countless examples of countries getting fragmented on ethnic grounds.

From the time immemorial, a large number of plant species are being used by the ethnic groups of North-East India for treatment of various ailments. Present study aims to explore the indigenous knowledge pertaining to utilization of medicinal plants by the Sonowal Kacharis of Dibrugarh District of Assam. Field exploration and study is done in this respect in villages inhabited by the Sonowal Kacharis. A total of 60 plant species belonging to 37 families were documented along with the parts used. The conservation of these plants is necessary for discovery of crude drugs. Keywords: Ethnobotany, Sonowal Kacharis, Dibrugarh, Conservation 1. Introduction The traditional practice of plants against the various ailments in India can be traced from the earliest known civilizations. From time immemorial, people have been gathering knowledge about the nature and the environment. This knowledge has now become an inseparable part of human society and life. Primitive tribes who still gather food by dwelling in remote forest areas have wide knowledge about utilization of plants as medicines (Barukial and Sarmah, 2011) [1]. These knowledge forms a base for modern pharmacologist (Brahmam 2000) [4]. Ethno-medicine refers to “those beliefs and practices relating to disease which are the products of indigenous cultural development and are not explicitly derived from the [3] conceptual frame work of modern medicine” (Hughes, 1968) .
