"This is the first comprehensive publication on India's remote Northeast, the area comprising seven states stretching from Tibet in the north to Myanmar (Burma) in the south, among them Nagaland, Meghalaya and Assam." "This area is known as "The Seven Sisters of India" - a region which for many years was closed to foreigners." "The Seven Sisters of India provides a detailed and balanced picture of life in this remote region, which was last examined some 50 years ago. At that time reports were limited in scope, and customs such as head-hunting were given undue emphasis." "Individual chapters focus on the different aspects of life, religious belief and ritual. The geography of this region of contrasts, the origins of its people, their houses, the cult of the sun and the moon, ancestor worship, weaving, dance, beliefs connected to head-hunting and matriarchal structures are among those aspects given special attention."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
