Wrong Book Cover on "Marriage, Family and Kinship of the Paite tribe of Manipur"
[ This is an email directed to Concept Pub Co. - publishing(at)conceptpub(dot)com by Aheibam Dinamani ]
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have come across a book from your side i.e Concept Pub Co., New Delhi titled "Marriage, Family and Kinship among the Paite tribe of Manipur" By- Grace Don Nemching.
I am shock to see the cover page of the book, as the photo of the marriage shown is for Meitei Marriage ceremony, and Paite Marriage ceremony has no similarity with it.
This act of gross negligence is an insult to both the communities of Meitei and Paite,which are having their unique set of rich cultural
practices and Traditions. This also misleads the intellectuals around the who reads the book. This matter should be viewed very seriously.
These books are already in National Library of Australia
(ANL)[(4319820)YY305.80095417N433]
and
University of Sidney, Bankstown
Campus Library [(NUWS:B)745997 305.8009544].
I hope necessary corrective measures will be taken up, as a respect to the cultures and traditions of both the communities and as an obligation to the intellectual community.
