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. 410 0$aAsian borderlands ;$v3. 606 $aEthnicity$xPolitical aspects$zSouth Asia 606 $aDemocracy$zSouth Asia 607 $aSouth Asia$xPolitics and government 610 $aEthnic Politics, Democracy, Cultural Revivalism, Borderlands, Eastern Himalaya. 615 0$aEthnicity$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a954.9 700 $aChettri$b Mona$01713751 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814047303321 996 $aEthnicity and democracy in the Eastern Himalayan Borderland$94106967 997 $aUNINA
