2009, Tribes of North-East India: Issues and Challenges. Ed. Medhi B. K. et al. Omsons Publications. Delhi
This paper argues that the formation of the Assamese society is a product of a historical process in which both the tribal as well non-tribal groups played equally important roles. As opposed to the contention that posits a binary opposition between the caste and tribes in the Assamese society, the latter represents a unique case of tribe-caste interaction.
