The Inner And Outer Selves Cosmology Gender And Ecology In The Himalayas

Using an ethnographic study of the Jad Bhotiya community of Uttarkashi, this book discusses universal concepts of nationalism, identity, and democracy, to name a few. It also talks about their constructions of gender; the political construction of self with respect to international and border relationships; and how factors such as trade, economy, and the policies of a democratic country have affected the community.
