About the Book: Tribals Of Manipur And Modernisation
This book examines the impact of modernisation on the tribals of Manipur with
the Nagas and the Kukis. The twin forces of modernisation were undoubtedly
Western education and Christianity, introduced under British colonial rule in
Manipur from 1891. The ready acceptance of Western education and Christianity
came through the agency of the Christian missionaries. They effected such a
drastic change in the lives of the people that it catapulted the tribals from
the old world to the new. While retaining many of the traditional elements of
their customs and practices they simultaneously embraced a new way of life. This
