| 500 | |a Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) was born and educated in Vienna, gaining a PhD in anthropology from the University of Vienna in 1931. A grant from the Rockefeller Foundation enabled him to study at the London School of Economics, under the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. In 1936, he went to the Naga Hills in northeast India for his first fieldwork; over the next four decades, he worked extensively in south & central India, northeast India and Nepal. In 1950 he was appointed Professor of Anthropology at SOAS, where he established the Department of Anthropology. During his career, he published seventeen books, most of them ethnographies of tribal cultures. He was President of the Royal Anthropological Institute (1975-77) and a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology. | ||

| 500 | |a This is Dur Sera, one of several Nyishi prisoners from Licha, with whom Apatanis had a protracted dispute : they were brought back to the Apatani valley to be held prisoner until a settlement was reached : Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf described the scene in this photograph: 'I...found Dur Sera on the veranda of Nendin Tagum's house talking animatedly with several Apa Tani women : He sat on the railing with his left foot in a heavy log, which he lifted with a string when he wanted to move : But otherwise he looked extremely well and seemed quite cheerful : He is a young man with a jolly full moon face, and one would not expect of him the warlike deeds that have given him a certain notoriety among the Apa Tanis : He did not seem very disturbed about his fate and told me that his brother was trying to ransom him and would shortly bring a mithan...It is customary to feed prisoners as well as possible....there can be no doubt that the fate of a captive in an Apa Tani or Dafla Nyishi : house is...preferable by far to that of a man in a modern prison : For the captive lives in an atmosphere very much like that of his own home, and is in no way shut off from ordinary social intercourse : this is probably the reason why as a rule no lasting animosity remains between captors and captives and they soon become quite good friends again.' The woman on the left is a Nyishi and presumably a relative of the prisoner. | ||
