"India - Tribal Frontiers"
When the Dalai Lama was forced to flee Tibet in 1959, he made his gruelling journey into India through its wild North East Frontier.
Closed
to both Indians and foreigners in 1947 by Pandit Nehru, this recently opened,
but often neglected part of the Indian Subcontinent has a rich tapestry
of Tribal culture and a unique example of Himalayan rainforests. By way of
contrast is Rajasthan, the
desert heart of India and land of the Rajput
Warrior Clans. The 'pink' city of Jaipur, frescos of Shekhawati and merchant
Havelis
of Jaisalmer exemplify
the "colours of India".
