Routledge - The Cultural Heritage of Sikkim - Anthropology Book

Explore the deep history of a region that has fascinated anthropologists since the 1930s. The Cultural Heritage of Sikkim addresses a significant lack of literature regarding the rich traditions and history of this area. While travelers and British administrators noted the region in their writings, modern scholarly resources remained limited until now. This book provides a comprehensive collection of twenty-five essays that were first presented at the international conference on Cultural Heritage of Sikkim. Organized by the Department of Anthropology at Sikkim University in Gangtok, these academic contributions help bridge the gap in existing research. Readers can gain insight into the anthropological interests surrounding the Lepchas of Dzongu and the broader cultural landscape of north Sikkim. This volume is an essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the social sciences and the specific heritage of the Sikkim region.
