DE-STEREOTYPING RITES AND CUSTOMS: A CASE STUDY OF LEPCHAS OF DARJEELING HILL

KAUSTAV CHAKRABORTY

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

India possesses many tracts in which there are un-trodden fields of ethnological study. They are still inhabited by aboriginal races that have not changed as yet from their primitive habits and customs indicative of the nature of primitive struggles for life. The customs and rites of the aboriginal tribe like Lepchas of Darjeeling present many attractive features to an Ethnologist, because the traces of survival of early conditions of culture in later times are generally found in rituals, customs and folklores prevalent among the people who are still in the primitive stage of life.
