Abstract: | This book, ‘Glimpses from the North-East’, seeks to highlight and celebrate some of the unique cultural and environmental aspects of the north-east. Here, a few well-known writers based in the region delve into some cultural traditions and institutions through the medium of folk narratives and stories. The language of folklore is at once universal and particular. We believe that the canvas of commonness and togetherness in the midst of variations and distances provides the backdrop for an appreciation of the North– East. Articulation through the folk idiom helps in understanding community perceptions, institutions and responses. This understanding, in turn, facilitates bridges of dialogue. |
