They are a least studied small endogamous Bodo-Kachari tribe having a trans-border international presence i.e. in NE India and in Bangladesh. A huge number of them migrated to India from their homeland in erstwhile East-Pakistan. The paper is based on the data collected through standard anthropological methods from two remote Hajong villages viz. Kuhiarbari and Kotha Adarsha, located along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border in Margherita Sub-division, Tinsukia district, upper Assam. The Hajongs are patrilineal, patriarchal and patrilocal; and in marital alliances the rules of tribal endogamy and clan exogamy are followed. They have the traditional custom of paying bride price - Khalti. The people by and large live in nuclear families. Agriculture is the main occupation of the Hajongs. They follow Hinduism; Bastu puja and Bash puja are important religious ceremonies of the people performed by the Deoshi (traditional village priest).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grin Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45568287178903,"sku":"9783656974574","price":2138.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783656974574.webp?v=1767181556","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-hajong-of-assam-an-ethnographic-profile-of-a-least-studied-bodo-kachari-tribe-9783656974574","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
