Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: Even at this stage of the history of India the study of the contributions of the East Asian or 'Mongoloid' peoples has not been offered much importance to. It has remained a much neglected chapter of Indian history though the school of the subaltern dominates the realm of Indian historic discourse. But an exhaustive study in this field could bridge many gaps and could address many hitherto unanswered questions both linguistic and cultural. The impact of the Mongoloid culture on mainstream Indian culture is deeply rooted and indelible. And this impact has been assimilated into the course of living culture to such an extent that instances of such impact cannot be separated and easily looked upon.Studies in this field will be helpful to a better understanding of these mongoloid people and their culture and at the same time these will come to use of understanding the Indian culture in a broader perspective.
