| Contents Notes |
Nature, Society and People in Monyul (Monpa Area) -- Arrival of a Tibetan Prince in Monyul and Establishment of a Clan -- Taxation by the Tibetan Authorities and the Formation of Fortresses -- Tibetan Buddhism, Bon and Animism -- Forests in Monyul: Distribution and Management -- Yak Husbandry and Pastoral Communities -- Distribution of Farmland and Agricultural Communities. This is the first book to systematically describe the formation and historical changes of the Monpa people's area (Monyul) through its nature, society, culture, religion, agriculture, and historically deep ties with Bhutan, Tibet, and the Tibetan Buddhist faith. The state of Arunachal Pradesh is located in the northeastern part of India, surrounded by the borders of Assam, Bhutan, and Tibet (China). There has been a long history of conflict over the sovereignty of this area between India and China. Foreigners were prohibited from entering the state until the 1990s and the area has been veiled in secrecy until recently. Thus, there are not many academically researched works on the region. This book serves as an essential guide for anyone who would like to learn about a unique geographical area of Monpa. |
