| Summary, etc. |
Nestled amid an enchanting and the unlimited marvelous landscapes, North East India is marked by diversity in customs, cultures, traditions and languages. These seven sister states host over 200 of about 635 tribal groups of India. These different tribes had developed well-organised local self-governments prior to the influx of the British into the region which can be classified broadly into two institutions--- Chieftainship and the democratic Village Council. These two can co-exist side by side and in some places either of the two prevailed. The latter, representing grassroots democracy, serves as the main theme which this article endeavours to discuss in greater details. However, their powers, functions and responsibilities pertaining to administrative, judicial and executive are more or less the same. The incursion of the British and a subsequent establishment of their power and authority had resulted in deterioration and disintegration of the well-established, age-old tribal-self-governing institutions of this region. - Reproduced. |
