Description:English 745About the BookThe Anthropological Survey of India (ASI) launched the People of India project on 2 October 1985 to generate an anthropological profile of all the communities of India, the impact of change and the development process on them, and the factors that bring them together.As part of this all-India project the first ever ethnographic survey of Himachal Pradesh was undertaken by the ASI in collaboration with local scholars. One hundred and sixteen communities have been studied, in addition to eight communities surveyed later, covering dimensions such as language, culture and human biology.Himachal Pradesh emerged as a distinct political entity after independence. However, it has always been part of Indian history and culture and some of its peoples and regions have figured in our myths, epics, Puranas and history. While there are many communities which are unique to Himachal Pradesh, there are many others who have settled there later and become part of the Himachali identity. Linguistically, Himachal Pradesh is known for its heterogeneity and the dominance of the languages of the Pahari subgroup. Bio-anthropologically, the communities belong to different ethnic stocks, with a substantial admixture of populations.The state is marked by a high incidence of non-vegetarianism, stratification, junior levirate and sororate; the institution of polyandry and the relative freedom of women, including the freedom to remarry; stronger linkages, vibrant folkore and widespread folk cults. Himachal Pradesh is a dynamic state forging ahead in many areas of development. However, its depleting natural resources are a cause for concern.About the AuthorK.S.
