study. They are still inhabited by aboriginal races that have not changed as yet from their
primitive habits and customs indicative of the nature of primitive struggles for life. The
customs and rites of the aboriginal tribe like Lepchas of Darjeeling present many
attractive features to an Ethnologist, because the traces of survival of early conditions of
culture in later times are generally found in rituals, customs and folklores prevalent
among the people who are still in the primitive stage of life. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : KAUSTAV CHAKRABORTY, (2013).
