"Assam belongs to India culturally as well as geographically, for its Brahamaputra Valley had allowed people and their customs to penetrate into Assam from the rest of the country. Today the valley is occupied by people who are still, by comparison with the people in the hills around them, very much part of the general Indian civilization. The Garos, one of the largest hill tribes of Assam, undoubtedly represent the remnants of an earlier population and culture, which may even have covered much of the plains region before the immigration of the distinctive Indian civilization now found in that region. The greatest part of Dr. Burling's work with the Garos was carried on in the village of Rengsanggri. ". Fine in Very Good dust jacket .

What emerges is a memorable account of the essentially Portuguese connection of the state and the history of some of its important monuments and feast days." ISBN: 817437065X; 817437065X.

Until 1944 virtually nothing was known about them, for few ventured into the plains of Assam, and their own home-land, a large and beautiful valley ringed by high mountains, lay in the unadministered no-man's land between British India and Tibet. The isolation of the Apa Tanis came to an end in 1944, when Professor von Furer-Haimendorf, then in the service of the Government of India, undertook a detailed study of their economy and cultural life, and drew up guidelines for the eventual administration of the tribal region now comprised within the Subansiri District."; 0706909925.

Foreword, introduction, appendix, recommended reading, map and photos. "When I arrived in the Naga hills in 1936, J. P.

The tribe I chose for intensive fieldwork, however, was the Konyak Nagas...The following account is based mainly on my research in 1936 and 1937, but some of the information obtained in the area visited in 1962 throws additional light on aspects of Naga society only partially explored in my earlier book.

"Assam belongs to India culturally as well as geographically, for its Brahamaputra Valley had allowed people and their customs to penetrate into Assam from the rest of the country. Today the valley is occupied by people who are still, by comparison with the people in the hills around them, very much part of the general Indian civilization. The Garos, one of the largest hill tribes of Assam, undoubtedly represent the remnants of an earlier population and culture, which may even have covered much of the plains region before the immigration of the distinctive Indian civilization now found in that region. The greatest part of Dr. Burling's work with the Garos was carried on in the village of Rengsanggri. ". Fine in Very Good dust jacket .

"Goa's fascination and charm arise partly from its sheer natural beauty and partly from its distinct Indo-Iberian culture. Goa's best known contemporary writer, Mario Cabral e Sa, attempts to capture the essence of this amalgam of cultures in his laconic style, peppered with a distinctively Goan sense of humour. What emerges is a memorable account of the essentially Portuguese connection of the state and the history of some of its important monuments and feast days." ISBN: 817437065X; 817437065X.

The isolation of the Apa Tanis came to an end in 1944, when Professor von Furer-Haimendorf, then in the service of the Government of India, undertook a detailed study of their economy and cultural life, and drew up guidelines for the eventual administration of the tribal region now comprised within the Subansiri District."; 0706909925.

The tribe I chose for intensive fieldwork, however, was the Konyak Nagas...The following account is based mainly on my research in 1936 and 1937, but some of the information obtained in the area visited in 1962 throws additional light on aspects of Naga society only partially explored in my earlier book.
