The Dilemma of the Bishnupriya Identity

Abstract

Ethnic identity is a dynamic, multidimensional construct that
refers to one's identity, or sense of self, as a member of an ethnic
group. The reconstruction of an identity interacts with historical and
social identities in the contemporary world. What is intend to discuss
in this article is the reconstruction of the Bishnupriya identity in
Manipur, and study it against the Bishnupriyas living outside
Manipur.
