HIMALAYAN BORDER COUNTRIES PROJECT
Abstract
The Himalayan Border Countries Project (HBCP) commenced operations on June 16, 1967. During the first six months period, the following research programs were underway. Dr. Leo E. Rose completed a draft of a monograph-length study on government and politics in Sikkim, and finished two other studies that have been published: (1) The North-East Frontier Agency of India (U. S. Department of State, 1967), and (2) 'India, China and the Afro-Asian Bloc' (a chapter in Contemporary China, Washington State University Press, 1967). He left for a three-month program in India, Nepal and Sikkim in December 1967. Professor Thomas Ballinger joined the HBCP in August and is currently in Nepal working on two research programs: (1) the socialization of Nepali school children, and (2) an investigation of iconology on three important ecclesiastical architecture forms in Kathmandu Valley. Professor Gordon Means held an appointment with the HBCP from June 15 - September 15, 1967 during which time he was in India to initiate and facilitate his projected study of political and social developments in Nagaland. Mr. Mahesh C. Regmi completed the 4th volume of his study of Land Tenure and Taxation in Nepal in the summer of 1967 and commenced research on economic history of Nepal.
