Shah the founder of Secularist Movement in India. Mr. A.G.K. was builder of humanist renaissance thought who was recognised by USA. MR. V.R.

Much research has gone into this personality which was presented to the world first time. The philosopher revolutionary Manavendranath is now getting recognition worldwide.

Settlement pattern. 9. Cultural characteristics. 10. Traditional political authority. 11. Tribal polity. 12. Culture change. "The term Mizo…, meaning highlander, refers to a conglomeration of tribal communities sharing certain cultural specificities. Initially each community was eager to maintain its distinctive identity in respect of dialect, religious beliefs and social customs. But subsequently a process of integration and assimilation came into play, and there has now developed among them a common identity the Mizo. An inherent spirit of self-help was nurtured. Widespread acceptance of Christianity and a high percentage of literacy have aroused the Mizo society to move faster along the path of modernity. Mizoram -- "the land of highlander" is a gentle pastoral land. An interesting tradition amongst the Mizos is the code of ethics which revolves around tlawmngaihna, a term that means that every Mizo is duty bound to be hospitable, kind, unselfish, and helpful to the poor and needy. The Mizo is a term of identification of several groups viz- Lushai, Pawi, Paite, Ralte, Pang, Hmar etc. Previously believers of the good spirit pathian, the Mizo community today is greatly influenced by Christianity. Though the Mizo have accepted English as the medium of instruction, but the Mizo language is widely spoken and written in Roman script. The hill people have kept alive their rich cultural heritage, colourful customs and lively traditions. Festivals and dances of Mizo have a unique tribal flavour." (jacket).

Tribal polity. 8. Religion. 9. Traditional political authority. 10. Rites de passage. 11. Tribal economy. Often some academicians with a grim v…iew of India's future mention to the numerous secessionist battles raging in different parts of the multiethnic multi religious nation. Of course politicians and nationalists take instant umbrage. But ask them to explain the mountain call for disunion and chances are that an accusing finger will point at some foreign power. We have always refused to acknowledge the disenchantment of our people. Almost all our northeastern states are in various stages of insurgency. Open conflict in some places uneasy cease fires in others and in the rest the beginnings of what could end up in another violent call for autonomy. Meghalaya is one state of Northeast India that remained calm during achieving the status of a state. The northeast is largely cut off from mainland India and in these remote pockets unhappy youngsters are easily prone to feeling persecuted. They feel their community is singled out because they belong to a different ethnic stock. This resentment if not addressed can easily be fanned into violence. It happened in Kashmir. It happened in Nagaland and in Manipur. And it could happen in Meghalaya too. The people in Meghalaya have simply voiced their concerns. The urge to preserve their customs and hence oppose any policy which adversely affect their culture. It is not that the Khasi are desperate to cling to their customs. Much has changed in the past 50 years. As for example the Nongkrem dance is hosted by the Syiem of Khyrim custodian of the original tribal religion in a society that is now mostly Christian. Syiem himself is no hatchet wielding grass skirted savage who lets off alarming threatening whoops. Instead he is a gentle 48 year old doctor dressed in suit and tie who speaks flawless English. He talks of education opportunities and infrastructure. Zealous missionaries have produced a highly literate population in Meghalaya that has happily adopted leather jackets and MTV. The book gives a contemporary scenario of Khasi culture which withstood against the onslaught of winds of change. 106 pp.

A chronicle on the travails of an Indian MICE professional and a haunting that changes his life in the course of the eight days of narration. Sense the gripping tension… that underscores the narrative and the scathing insight that it offers. The profound catharsis of the amalgamation of the narrator's identity with the industry's outcry is ironically highlighted by the editorial treatment of the book as coffee table read. A must read for all associated with the industry. 114 pp.

The ever green wooded forests with streams rivers meandering through mountains offer the cooling tranquility and scenic beauties where every morning the sunrise spreads its golden carpet first. The Adi are divided into a number of groups such as Minyong Karko Shimong Janbo Pangis Pailibos Bogum Padams Milangs etc. The Adis by nature are democratic and have organised village council called Kebang. Their traditional dance called Ponung is famous in the whole Arunachal Pradesh. Adi villages are situated generally on the spurs of hills. Polyandry is unknown but polygamy is practised. It is only in 16 century the history of Arunachal Pradesh gained coherence from the legends and traditions under the rules of Ahom Kings of Assam. Originally known as North East Frontier Agency (NEFA) it came under the control of the British when they subjugated Assam from the Ahom kings. The British declared the place as off limits in 1873 till the eve of world war II. Following independence of India the government prepared the tribes to cope up with the modern world and introduced village democracy in preparation of a statewide legislation. In 1971 NEFA was renamed to Arunachal Pradesh and in 1972 it became a union territory. On 20 February 1987 it was declared as the 24 state of the Indian union. 98 pp.
