Grounded in historical and ethnographic research, it critically examines the relationship between culture and politics in a geographical space that is home to a diverse range of ethnic identities, showing how new modes of political representation, cultural activism, and everyday politics have emerged from the region.Asian borderlands ;3.EthnicityPolitical aspectsSouth AsiaDemocracySouth AsiaSouth AsiaPolitics and governmentEthnic Politics, Democracy, Cultural Revivalism, Borderlands, Eastern Himalaya.EthnicityPolitical aspectsDemocracy954.9Chettri Mona1713751UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910814047303321Ethnicity and democracy in the Eastern Himalayan Borderland4106967UNINA
