Description
The Hill Miris of Arunachal Pradesh is a descriptive and comprehensive study of this tribe of the Greater Subansiri area of Arunachal Pradesh. The author has thoroughly dealt with the subject through his personal experiences. As the author was amidst the Hill Miris for a long period of fourteen years, he got a golden chance to study all about their socio-economic and democratic traditions, and fascinating customs and rituals in detail. His is therefore, not an armchair study about the tribe, but an authentic attempt to identify and introduce the Hill Miris to the outside world.
It is expected that anthropologists, sociologists, linguists, besides of course the visiting tourists and general readers will find the book to be immensely readable.
