About the Book

Sir Alexander Mackenzie (1842-1902) was more a seasoned administrator than a historian. The book has its genesis in his Memorandum on the North-East Frontier of Bengal which made a general survey of the political relations of the then British Govt. with the hill tribes of Assam, Cachar & Chittagong which proved extremely useful to the local administrators as well as to the Foreign Dept. of the then British Indian Govt. He later developed this document into a memorable book after a close scrutiny of piles of the Govt. files, proceedings and records, coupled with his own notes which he had been diligently preparing and compiling. He finally published, in a book form, his painstaking research in 1884 under the title History of the Relations of the Govt. with the Hill Tribes of the North-East Frontier of Bengal as till then Assam and the entire North- East formed part of Bengal. From all accounts it is a unique work and its reprint under the title The North East Frontier of India, is most timely. The Prefatory Introduction written by Late Prof. B.K. Roy Burman, an anthropologist of world renown and an undisputed authority on North-East India, adds to its importance and usefulness. In Prof. Burman’s own words: “Mackenzie was a chronicler of events which were relevant from the point of view of colonial administration of the time. As one goes through the book, one feels that he has done the job competently. He has provided materials which no historian or even no ethno-historian interested in the region can afford to ignore”. The present book is of great historical value, has been organised into three parts, deals with Sub-Himalayan region from Bhutan to Arunachal Pradesh and provides a graphic account of the dealings of the then British Govt. with the tribes of the south of the Brahmaputra and Surmah Valleys and the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The observations drawn by the author are of absorbing interest. No doubt the present volume is an imperishable chronicle of the period.
