The individual essays deal with ideas, literary texts, politics, gender, industries, culture, health, sports and tribal issues relevant to these regions. Probing health issues in the colonial period the volume also explains the development of the modern coal industry on the one hand and the survival of the traditional potter’s craft on the other.

The pen-picture of the happenings at the bathing ghat reveals the vibrant rural social life of the times.

The modernization of the theatre gives a glimpse into the cultural ethos.

The institutionalization of sports is examined. Analysis of contemporary cinema throws light on the perception of a woman’s position in society.

As the reader travels from Bengal to the North-East, the impact of missionary activities on tribal life is revealed.
