Traditional medicine remains central to the lives of many tribal communities in India, particularly where access to modern healthcare is limited by geography, cost and availability. Despite the expansion of biomedical services, indigenous healing practice continue to be widely used, often by the informed choice of patients themselves. However, much of this rich herbal and healing knowledge remains insufficiently documented and is at risk of erosion. Monograph Whispers of the Forests: Non-Codified Healing in Arunachal Pradesh documents traditional healing practices in Arunachal Pradesh, drawing on qualitative fieldwork with 23 herbal healers and key informants from Aalo, Pasighat and Itanagar. The study highlights not only the diversity of medicinal plants and healing methods but also the deep interconnections between local culture, biodiversity and community life. Field experiences revealed notable aspects of social life in the region, including women's safety, warm hospitality and strong community bonds which contextualize the practice of healing.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. Contents: Foreword. Acknowledgement. List of Figures and Tables. Poem for the Conservation of Traditional Medicine, Ayurveda. 1. Introduction. 2. Sikkim state culture and folklore. 3. Healers narratives. 4. On recognition and support. 5. Conclusions. 6. References. 7. Appendix. Indigenous societies across India sustain a diverse cadre of community-recognized healers, including shamans, magico-religious and faith healers, herbalists, bone setters, midwives, massagers and specialists for ailments such as snakebite, jaundice and poisoning. Although largely outside formal education and regulation, these practitioners meet substantial healthcare needs, particularly in rural and tribal areas. Indigenous healing systems are typically non-codified, informal, orally transmitted, non-commercial and embedded in local cosmologies and everyday life. Despite their continuing relevance, these systems face marginalization as state-supported, professionalized biomedical and codified traditional systems, especially with the expansion of AYUSH. The monograph on Sikkim, Roots of Wisdom: Unwritten Herbal Traditions of Sikkim, is a part of larger collaborative project between Anthropos India Foundation and IGNCA. It highlights the extensive use of flora, fauna and mineral resources for health, alongside shamanic, herbal, and massage-based therapies. …

Soft cover. Condition: New. Contents: Foreword. Acknowledgement. List of Abbreviations. List of Figures. 1. Introduction. 2. Manipur: People and Culture. 3. Maiba Maibi. 4. Healers Narratives. 5. Conservation, Preservation and Challenges in Recognition. 6. Challenges and Concerns. 7. Recommendations and Way Forward. 8. Press Releases. The monograph Green Wisdom: The Herbal Healing Traditions of Manipur examines non-codified herbal healing practices in Manipur, situating them within the broader landscape of traditional, folk and indigenous medical systems in India. Non-codified herbal healing, rooted in oral transmission and hands-on practice, represents a significant yet understudied domain of healthcare knowledge. The study acknowledges both natural folk medicine and magico-religious healing traditions, emphasizing their ethical, non-commercial orientation and deep connections with spirituality and community life. These systems, which predate codified medical traditions, reflect India's long-standing and sophisticated engagement with nature based healing. Addressing community healthcare needs in Manipur, this monograph interrogates the social roles of herbal healers, the reverence they command, the challenges they face in contemporary contexts, and the processes through which indigenous knowledge is preserved and threatened. Key concerns include environmental degradation, declining biodiversity, erosion of intergenerational knowledge transfer, lack of formal recognition, intellectual property rights, and possibilities for mainstreaming into healthcare systems.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "India's Free Trade Advantage: How FTAs Can Transform Exports, Businesses, MSMEs and India's Global Economic Position" provides a comprehensive overview of India's Free Trade Agreements and highlights the strategic importance of the India-European Union Free Trade Agreement. It explains that FTAs are no longer limited to tariff reductions but cover goods, services, investment, intellectual property, professional mobility, standards, regulatory cooperation and sustainable development. India's expanding FTA network is presented as an important instrument for diversifying export markets, reducing input costs, attracting investment, creating employment and strengthening India's position in global value chains. The India-EU FTA is identified as particularly significant because it provides preferential access to a very large European market, with more than 97% of tariff lines receiving preferential access and important labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, apparel, leather, footwear, marine products, toys, gems and jewellery, chemicals and processed foods gaining greater competitiveness. The agreement is also expected to support agriculture and rural livelihoods through better access for products such as tea, coffee, spices, fruits, vegetables and processed foods, while safeguards for sensitive sectors such as dairy, cereals, poultry and soymeal help protect domestic food security and farmer interests. The document gives special importance to MSMEs, noting that improved market access, simpler compliance procedures and integration into European value chains can create opportunities for small and medium businesses, employment and income generation. Services are another major area of opportunity, with India receiving commitments across 144 subsectors, including IT/ITeS, professional services, education, research and development and business services, together with improved mobility for professionals and opportunities for independent service providers. The agreement also promotes cooperation in SPS and TBT standards, conformity assessment, digitisation and regulatory transparency, helping reduce non-tariff barriers and compliance costs. Its intellectual property provisions seek to balance stronger protection with public-interest safeguards, including recognition of India's Traditional Knowledge Digital Library and cooperation on technology transfer and innovation. Sectoral opportunities in engineering, chemicals, minerals, medical instruments, plastics, rubber, furniture and traditional products can encourage Indian enterprises to move towards higher-value, technology-based and sustainable production. Overall, the document concludes that the India-EU FTA represents more than a conventional trade arrangement: it can contribute to export-led growth, MSME development, farmer incomes, employment, services expansion, skilled mobility, industrial upgrading and India's integration into global value chains. At the same time, effective implementation, capacity building and continuous engagement with businesses, farmers, workers and other stakeholders will be necessary to convert the agreement's potential into broad-based and inclusive economic benefits.
