The study of a social movement represents a sphere of social activity and social change. Scholars interested in this discipline find pleasure in deciphering the involvement of ethnic groups who make attempts to change an existing structure which gets the nomenclature ethno social movement. The book brings into relief some observations on ethno social and political movements of Eastern India over a time frame of about two and a half centuries. Contributed by scholars from the disciplines of history sociology psychology and anthropology the writings portray a detailed account of individual ethno social movements over a particular sphere of time. To have a wide coverage of the subject the book accommodates two important social mobility movements launched during the last century by two dominant caste groups of Bengal who are spilled over to the adjacent country also and three major regional movements of two neighbouring states that have socio political implications even for days to come in future. Movements that have a bearing on the crystallization of the national movement for achieving independence have also been dwelt upon to have a wider understanding of the subject. 236 pp.

Sundarbans, the largest delta on the earth, has been explored by adventurers, explorers, environmentalists, social historians and social scientists over a period of time since long. Probably In the Lagoons of the Gangetic Delta is the first ever attempt to bring in to relief the Anthropological Perspectives in Sundarbans that lie in the Indian soil depicting various facets of civilizational pool that have created a dent in this Biosphere Zone. The book is a eugenic experiment to portray the human endeavour that glorifies Sundarbans in its own respect.

History of reclamation of land in Sundarbans with special reference to the trend of settlement is the fundamental guideline to understand different human processes of operation that lie here. Along with this, ecological and demographic pictures coupled with land reclamation policy lay the foundation for understanding Sundarbans in terms of its spatial and cultural growth.

Indian society is marked with its rich heritage that is the hallmark of our civilization, the antiquity of which is sometimes beyond traceable date. This has a diversity of its own kind where unity is its uniqueness. The vast tract of this country, starting from the lush green fields of Arunachal Pradesh, where the sun first glitters with its golden rays to the harsh salt fields of Rann of Kutch, where the dusk is embraced with the beams of moonlight, from the snow clad mighty Himalayas to the never ending horizons of blue waters of the Indian ocean, witnesses every moment an unique event that is the gift of our rich civilization. The land is bestowed with a diverse ethnic mosaic with innumerable linguistic groups, cultures, costumes, manners and religious beliefs and practices. Since the dim ages of the past scholars have found interest in this land when our history was shrouded in mystery. Age old saints and sages of the epic times, travelers, explorers and adventurists from different parts of the world, poets and scholars of the historic ages, Indologists, historians, and academicians of different ages have found and essence of this land. Dimensions of Indian Civilization is a compilation on different aspects of our rich civilization including the contributions of various castes and tribes in the making of our civilization, the various facets of our religious beliefs and practices, the philosophical treatise of different religions, the embedded syncretic elements that gives a new dimension to our culture and civilization so on and so forth.

Contributors. Index. Development is a wide and complex subject that is being continually debated both in government and non government circles in the bureaucratic as well as academic world. To many it means the provision of basic economic services while to others it is nothing but social progress. For some others it means liberation from poverty and exploitation and for others the integration stream. Now this development paradigm has not taken on an even path among all the people most specifically among the Scheduled Tribes population who accounts 8.2% of the total population in the country. When it comes to Tripura it is observed that almost 84% of the people of this state live in villages. They include 19 tribal communities who constitute 31% of the total population of the state. Though the state is endowed with huge natural resources yet the poverty of the people remains a matter of major concern 66.88% of the population of Tripura is living below poverty line which is overshadowing the quality of life of general people. The state governments have a crucial role to play in the process of translating the vision into a reality. The people of the states have a dream a dream for a better and brighter future. Will the people participate proactively to translate this dream into reality. Will NGOs participate in the development process and become true mediators between the people and the government. These and other pertinent questions need to be raised by us on the one hand and extend our helping hand in constructively responding to the needs of the people. This book will be of interest to those who do further research on tribal development with special reference to state specific perspectives. No doubt it will prove greatly useful for policy makers social scientists NGOs and other development departments of the Governments thus in turn it contributes to the welfare of the civil society as well bout the book. 270 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. A border area generally witnesses frequent waves of migration, aggressions and conquests. The people of such a region adjust and respond to different situations, as are already adapted to certain culture traits owing to their necessities. Often a dominant culture becomes a point of reference for adaptation of many cultural traits. The region under study constitutes historically a political fluid zone. The boundaries between Bengal and Orissa were in a state of flux, being pushed towards Bengal when the Oriyan population was powerful or pushed towards Orissa when the chieftains of Bengal became powerful to insubordinate the indigenous population, which resulted in cultural domination too thereby influencing or moulding the culture of the vanquished people, bringing about specific social and cultural changes. The present study is designed to cover a few festivals of these areas, temple-based religious observances of various castes and communities living in the adjacent areas and folk-songs collected from organized social institutions to understand the Brahminical elements that occupy the way of life of the people of this region. It reveals the nature of transformation of the castes and communities on different levels of Brahminism determined and accentuated by local situations. It is a matter of special interest to the social anthropologists, sociologists, as well as historians or anyone interested in ethno-historical studies. This enlightening situation growing out of culture-contacts with the gradual monolithic cultural system undergoing a transformation through an admixture with diverse cultural systems follows penetration, intersection and superimposition. Based on a micro-level approach, the book is attempted to understand the nature of transformation of the indigenous culture to a distinctly upgraded system fused into the Brahminical hegemony.
