Land and Social Change in East Nepal: A Study of Hindu-Tribal RelationsRoutledge, 2013 M09 13 - 256 pages This book examines the relations between the Limbus, an indigenous tribal people in East Nepal, and the Hindus who have entered their region during the past two hundred years. Describing the divisions which have arisen between the two groups as a result of confrontation over land, the book nonetheless stresses how they are linked by ties of economic and political interdependence and in so doing, explores the link between culture and politics. |
