The Lushei Kuki Clans

Bol

Mist-shrouded hills, ancient fires flickering beneath the stars-here, the living tapestry of northeast India's indigenous tribes is unfurled with rare intimacy and precision. In an era when colonial era ethnography often flattened unique cultures into footnotes, this work stands apart as both a pioneering ethnographic study and a lyrical exploration of kinship and clan systems. Drawing readers into the heart of Mizoram and Manipur, it reveals the intricate social structure analysis that shaped daily life among the Lushei and Kuki peoples, capturing rituals, beliefs, and the pulse of communities rarely afforded such careful attention.For scholars and university anthropology students, the book remains an academic research resource of enduring value, offering first-hand insights into tribal history within early 20th century India. Yet its vivid observations and keen sense of place make it equally compelling for anyone curious about the cultural anthropology of indigenous tribes in the northeast-those whose stories have too often been overlooked. The narrative, shaped by both empathy and scholarly rigour, traces the delicate threads binding families, clans, and villages, illuminating how identity and belonging were woven deep into the landscape.This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions.
