Folk Culture of Assam  (English, Paperback, Julfikar Hussain)

'Folk Culture of Assam' In this book, I wrote about Assam and its diverse folk culture. Assam is the meeting ground of diverse cultures. The people of the delightful state of Assam are an intermixture of various racial stocks such as Mongoloid, Indo-Burmese, Indo-Iranian and Aryan. The state has a large number of tribes, each unique in its tradition, culture, dress and exotic way of life. The traditional clothes of the Assamese people are Dhoti-Kurta for men and Mekhla- Chadar for the womenfolk. Mekhla-Chadar or the traditional sari is an ensemble of two or three pieces, one of which is worn as the petticoat and the other as the 'anchal' sari.
