Description

This scholarly work examines the modern predicament of the Rabha people, one of India's indigenous communities, who traditionally practised shifting cultivation in jungle tracts where the Himalayan mountains meet Bengal's plains. When British rule transformed the region into tea gardens and reserved forests, Rabhas were displaced into labour roles under the forest department. Today, large-scale illegal deforestation and global wildlife conservation efforts continue to threaten their survival and cultural identity. The book traces the Rabha people's historical development and their adaptive strategies across centuries of colonial and post-colonial change, offering insight into the complex relationship between indigenous communities, environmental management, and state power in South Asia.

Key Features

Routledge publication offering an in-depth anthropological study of the Rabha indigenous people and their relationship with forest ecosystems in Sub-Himalayan Bengal.

Explores how British colonial rule transformed jungle territories into tea gardens and reserved forests, fundamentally altering Rabha livelihoods and labour conditions.

Addresses contemporary challenges facing the Rabha community, including illegal deforestation and wildlife conservation pressures that threaten their survival.

Examines the development and coping strategies of the Rabha people across multiple historical periods, from pre-colonial shifting cultivation to modern times.

Contributes to anthropology and sociology literature by documenting indigenous struggles for forest access and cultural identity preservation in South Asia.
