"This is a pioneering research work. It deals with the broad framework of inter-ethnic relationship between workers and management on the one hand and workers and workers hailing from various migrant ethnic groups to tea industry of Arunachal Pradesh on the other. The work also deals with the issues on migration and social change, economic life and cultural integration in tea industry of the state of Arunachal Pradesh. Since this is the first sociological study on tea plantation workers of the enchanted frontier of Arunachal Pradesh, it will be of immense help and guidance to the scholars and general readers who are interested to enrich their knowledge about the sociology of Indian tea industry in the near future."
