North East India: A Cultural Perspective
North East India with its stunning physical landscapes,
arresting beauty and lively cultural variation is an abode of countless tribes,
ethnic groups and communities. It is a
region comprising eight states Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Arunachal
Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland.
Populated with diverse races and communities, each state presents
social, religious and cultural heterogeneity. Still one cannot deny even after
linguistic and religious multeities,
North East India presents unity in diversity resulting from cultural
assimilation and accommodation over a long period of time. Festivals, mostly
agrarian associated with cultivation and farming, are celebrated with rich and stately
display. They are performed in music and dance by people attired with their
traditional costumes and with a great display of rituals and ceremonies. With
its rich literary flourishment, the region has earned so many prestigious
awards and accolades. Since culture is an
umbrella term (all-inclusive in reference to a region’s way of life) authors
