Philosophical understanding of cultures and festivals of North East India comes at a time when the need to understanding cultures in-depth ahs become more pressing. Going beyond material culture and popular understanding, the book invites us to find meaning in cultural expressions. As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without going deeper into cultural expression cannot produce fruits of peace, collaboration and development for all. The present volume is a first step to deeper understanding of cultures, especially of North East India with its over 300 cultural communities. Volumes of this kind will provide clarity by rendering the complexities of the region more legible. Culture is the very root of every human civilization. Understanding the different cultures in-depth is the yardstick of genuine progress, mutual respect and peaceful co-existence. I am sure that this compilation of different aspects of the cultures of the North East may help in decision making and policy formulation.
