Indigenous Lepcha Tribal Association: It’s Role in Upholding the Cultural Identity of the Lepcha’s in West Bengal
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
It is well known that when a culture dies a race ceases to exist, following this trend it has often been lamented that the Lepcha’s are a dying race. This has been amply documented by the title of eminent Lepcha scholar Arthur Foning’s book “Lepchas: My Vanishing Tribe”. With the help of this study we will try to take a glimpse at the commendable work being carried out by the Indigenous Lepcha Tribal Association in guiding and forging the Lepchas into a strong tribal organisation, upholding old cultural traditions and acting as a medium between the common Lepchas and the Government. We will see how this dying race has been given a new lease of life not by circumstance but by the tireless efforts of this organisation.
