Book Description:

The Bodo (or Boros) are one of the indigenous tribal peoples of Assam. During colonial times they resisted Christianization and in recent decades they have been involved both in interethnic violence and separatist insurgencies. Earlier accounts of this once-animist people are meagre and date from the colonial period.
