| 500 | |a This image is part of album T. This album and the following one both refer to the time between 1927 and 1928 when Mills was posted as Acting Deputy Commissioner to Cachar, in the southern part of Assam. The adminsitrative headquarters was at Silchar in the plains, but the area which particularly concerned Mills was the hill country of North Cachar. This was regarded as the Cinderella of Subdivisions, to which officers were often sent temporarily while waiting for a better posting. They usually had no experience of working with hill tribes and were not interested in learning about their customs and history. Mills, with his vast experience of the hill tribes was asked to sort out the resultant mess, and took it as golden opportunity to study and photograph the people and their way of life. The album also contains a few photographs from other areas. | ||

Mills notes in his Tour Diary: "By the side of the path near Thungje are the stones set up to commemorate the amorous exploits of Shikamba of that village, who died, a very old man, about ten years ago. At one end is a monolith of appropriate shape and beyond it a double line of ladies' stones, numbering forty in all, excluding a few small ones which denote offspring". Waipe may be another name for, or a khel of, Thungje. | |
