However, the driving force of this grown industry is the hardworking labours’ force which comprises 99% of migrated workers. With time, the migrated workers who had arrived to the North-eastern India, the region of Assam, came to be known as tea community or tea tribe as they closely related to tea gardens. Although they were migrated by force of time or situation, they carried some rich culture and later assimilated with the Assamese society. Today, the tea communities play a significant role in the society of Assam with their presence of some own traditions, culture. This paper will try to highlight the Jhumur tradition as reflection of their socio-cultural identity in the society of Assam.

The pioneer missionaries who came to Northeast India in the nineteenth century belonged to the American Baptist Foreign Mission and Welsh Presbyterian missions. It was a known fact that there was a working relation between the British colonial powers and Christian missions in Northeast India. Both the colonial power and missions held the "civilizing responsibility" as their shared goal. Therefore, the concern of the paper is to study the proliferation of Christianity and impact of Christian missionary activities on the people of Northeast India with special reference to the tribal society.
