ABOUT THE BOOK: India within its landmass, has given shelter to a large number of castes and religious groups with varied culture, sects, economy, political ideologies and religious faiths. All these have made Indian society a highly stratified and complex one. Along with these the biological variations are also highly significant. The critical and detailed analysis of all these will certainly provide adequate knowledge and idea about how these are functioning, and for the deep and detailed analysis, what is essential is first hand detailed data direct from the field. In this book, there are thirty articles of different themes and contributors have made their contribution on different topics and view points. We have spread over the articles in four parts, each part having one particular theme, namely, PartOne: Indigenous and minority Population; PartTwo: Dimension of Human Resource Development Part Ğ Three: Anthropometry and health; PartFour: Vulnerable and essential of our population. This little mission, we believe will enrich the knowledge of the academicians, scholars and the students to understand the real situation at the grass root level and also help the planners and bureaucrats in realizing the real problems and also help in implementing proper development programmes.

"India is a vast country where people from different other countries came in different period of time and found out place to live in the neighbourhood of various indigenous groups of people. They in course of time were able to adjust themselves with the prevailing ecological, ethnic and cultural environment of the area of their settlement. For their very survival they had no option but to adjust themselves with the ecological set-up of their new settlements and also to imbibe different socio-cultural traits from the neighbouring ethnic groups. The Karens of Andaman Islands, who were brought from Burma (Myanmer) during the first quarter of the last century, are not exception. They too, have to adjust themselves with the ecology of North Andaman where they ultimately settled. They were brought here, as labourers by the British Government as of time there was acute shortage of labour force in North Andaman. They were given forest works in the beginning. But in course of time, they have diversified their occupation. They have also established close relation with different neighbouring communities and started close interactions with them as a strategy for their survival. They have even established connubial relationship with some of the neighbouring communities. Through this book the authors have portrayed the life style of the present day Karen people of Andaman Islands, including their mode of livelihood, social organization, system of social control, religion etc. The authors have also tried to show the similarities and differences of their society and culture from those of the Karen of Myanmer (Burma) and Thailand in order to show the nature and extent of change in their socio-cultural life. The book will be very helpful to those social scientists who are studying culture change and acculturation of different ethnic groups, particularly of those immigrants who came and settled in an alien place."
