Religion, Beliefs and Practices in North-East India

Synopsis

In tribal society, religion, beliefs and practices govern all aspects of life. It is the outcome of feelings; the feeling of insecurity and ideas as to its causes induce an individual to act for its remedy and derived satisfaction out of helplessness. It grew out of man’s reflective thinking and recognition that there exists something greater than his self and thus strived to develop procedures to achieve a satisfactory relationship with it. These endeavours exercised a strong influence in the development of rituals, myths and beliefs. Even the material culture, the disease, selection of agriculture plot, beginning of house construction and hunting activities are influenced by the faiths and beliefs of tribe which are more often reflected in rituals. In a nutshell tribal religion exists within the whole system of their being. It is in this background the present volume delves the conceptual and contextual studies among different tribes of north-east India within the fold of academic and intellectual discourse.
