Book Description
Foreword

The Anthropological Survey of India in collaboration with the North- East India Council for Social Science Research had organised a seminar on the Social and Political Institutions of the Hill Prople of North East India in 1977. The seminar discussed 25 research papers on some of these institutions of major tribes of the north eastern states. Scholars with experience of research in this field contributed papers on social and political institutions of tribes belonging to both patrilineal and matrilineal systems and a'so on the tribes who retained traditional chieftainship. About one third of the papers were written by scholars on their own communities.

Preface

The papers included in this volume were read in a two-day seminar on Social and Political Institutions of the Hill People of North-East India in Shillong on 4-5th July, 1977 organised jointly by Anthropological Survey of India and Norh-East India Council for Social Science Reszarch. The social and political institutions of the hill-people have evolved to their present stage over a period of many centuries. Since independence of the country, they have been exposed dramatically to influences not experienced to such an extent carlier. Institutions now are undergoing changes to adjust themselves with new situations, to fulfil the hopes and aspirations of the people in the hill-societies.
