This book seeks to examine the important aspects of the indigenous religious reform movements in North East India, with special reference to Donyi-Polo movement. Exploring the theoretical problems involved in the conception of indigeneity, it contextualizes the religious and cultural identity based on indigenous traditions among the native communities in the North East India.

Discussing in detail the colonialism, Christianity and conversion of indigenous people, it takes stock of the claim of the Hindutva protagonists. It also makes a critical assessment of the attempt of indigenous reformists to maintain distinct cultural identity, separate social space and religious outlook.
