Abstract
Tea is an essential commodity of our daily life and Assam is famous for its best quality of tea production across the globe. 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.
