Book Description
Journeying eastward from the massif of Kanchenjunga that dominates the Indo-Nepal border, the authors take us through Sikkim, North Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh before moving southwards along the Naga Patkai range and the hill states of Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram, coming to a halt in Tripura. With stunning visuals of the Great Himalayas, including Kanchenjunga National Park, now a World Heritage Site, the authors knit together a comprehensive picture of India's northeastern-most corner, home to indigenous people like the Sherdukpen, the Monpa, the Aka, the Nyishi, the Adi, the Mishmi, the Nocte and Wancho, the Lai and Mara, and Naga, Kuki and Mixo -- diverse peoples with distinct culture. This volume weaves geography with history, myths of origin with daily like, and religion with culture to produce a seminal volume in the documentation of India's little-known northeast.

Book Description
This book is a graphic presentation of what it takes for a North-East Indian to live in North-East and Mainland India. Growing up in the 90s in Manipur, there was an ongoing strife and constant skirmishes between the Indian Government and the Insurgencies, disregarding human rights and civil liberties. The violation of human rights and issues are deep-rooted to the colonial import of western education, religion, and lifestyle. Many of the indigenous people were forced to undergo complete annihilation of their culture, and adapting to the sudden western-imported changes gave them cultural shock while adjusting within their home states, and across India. In addition to cultural persecution, the North-East Indians continue to face racial bigotry in mainland India, while living in complete economic and political negligence from the Central Indian Government.

Book Description
All life forms on earth are complementary to each other; the existence and survival of one depend on the existence of another, and vice versa. However, no life forms are more dependent on others than human beings. Humans’ very survival is conditioned by the existence of the natural environment and the living things within it. One aspect of this interaction is the central and inescapable role played by human culture in defining the human-nature relationship. This book emphasises that environmental conservation is a matter of moral and cultural ethics. It stresses the fact that existing environmental conservation methods need to accommodate traditional environmental knowledge and practices of different indigenous cultures in order to re-build and restore the bond between humans and nature.

Book Description
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Man Booker Prize: An “extraordinary” novel “lit by a moral intelligence at once fierce and tender” (The New York Times Book Review). In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, an embittered old judge wants only to retire in peace. But his life is upended when his sixteen-year-old orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. The judge’s chatty cook watches over the girl, but his thoughts are mostly with his son, Biju, hopscotching from one miserable New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS. When a Nepalese insurgency threatens Sai’s new-sprung romance with her tutor, the household descends into chaos. The cook witnesses India’s hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge revisits his past and his role in Sai and Biju’s intertwining lives. In a grasping world of colliding interests and conflicting desires, every moment holds out the possibility for hope or betrayal. Published to extraordinary acclaim, The Inheritance of Loss heralds Kiran Desai as one of our most insightful novelists. She illuminates the pain of exile and the ambiguities of postcolonialism with a tapestry of colorful characters and “uncannily beautiful” prose (O: The Oprah Magazine). “A book about tradition and modernity, the past and the future—and about the surprising ways both amusing and sorrowful, in which they all connect.” —The Independent

Book Description
This book offers a critical synthesis of the archaeology of South Asia from the Neolithic period (c.6500 BCE), when domestication began, to the spread of Buddhism accompanying the Mauryan Emperor Asoka's reign (third century BCE). The authors examine the growth and character of the Indus civilisation, with its town planning, sophisticated drainage systems, vast cities and international trade. They also consider the strong cultural links between the Indus civilisation and the second, later period of South Asian urbanism which began in the first millennium BCE and developed through the early first millennium CE. In addition to examining the evidence for emerging urban complexity, this book gives equal weight to interactions between rural and urban communities across South Asia and considers the critical roles played by rural areas in social and economic development. The authors explore how narratives of continuity and transformation have been formulated in analyses of South Asia's Prehistoric and Early Historic archaeological record.
