Impact of Modernity on the Education and Culture - Prohlad Roy - Bog

The History of Tamang, as it is known, comes from different aspects and theories. Historians have a different view on the originality of Tamang. However, they believed their origin was of the Mongoloid stock to Tibet and later settled in the sub-Himalayan region. They also have distinct languages, customs, beliefs, rituals, and practices. The Tamang community is known for having a strong sense of community and social cohesion, so the society is based on kinship. Traditionally, Tamangs were involved in agriculture as their primary occupation and animal husbandry as their main livelihood. However, their source of income and work has changed over time, aiming or focusing on their economic development. Over a decade, Tamang has been exposed to marginalisation and dominance. However, the community has undergone lots of changes, be it socially and economically. One of the most significant impacts of the Tamang community has been on education. Education is the main pillar of development and amelioration for any society, compared to other communities.
