History has always been a captivating tale that revolves around the lives of people, yet it often tends to overlook the perspectives of those who are not considered part of the mainstream. These non-people include colonizers, intruders, outsiders, and the privileged elite insiders who have internalized the viewpoint shaped by outsiders. In the context of the Darjeeling hills, a group of scholars recognized the need for an inclusive peoples history that would shed light on the voices and cultures of the local community.
The present volume aims to bridge this gap by rewriting a comprehensive history of society and culture from the perspective of the people of the Darjeeling hills. It goes beyond decoding traditional elements and explores the transformations in the realms of arts and ecology. The tribal landscape of the Darjeeling hills is not a static or frozen zone; rather, it is a dynamic realm where the people are in continuous transition from their traditional ways of life to becoming neo-traditional.
The objectives of this book are to focus on the untold histories related to harmony, intimacy, belongingness, and environmental care. By rejecting the notion of any given set of references as the final or scientific or authentic, the book seeks to engage with the living by rejecting to abide by any given set of references as the final/‘scientific/authentic and, thereby, opening up with other kinds of historical dialogue with the understated historical items that are accessible in Darjeeling.
It is important to note that Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the print version of this book in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
