Dr. Kaustav Chakraborty

Abstract :

Human rights are commonly deemed as universal, indivisible, inalienable and intergenerational. This particular paper proposes to examine the notion of human rights with regard to the Rabhas. Koch or Kocha or Kocha/Rabha people have a discrete ethno–linguistic and cultural heritage and thus a separate ethnic identity in the ‘Ethnic Museum’ of North East India, North Bengal and Sikkim included. This paper is a study of the displacement of their customs under the vectors of development, globalisation and social inclusion have a generalising tendency that affect their unique ethnic identity
