Modernization is an irresistible force with an unending process. It has spread to every corner of the globe and has crossed harnessing of the forces make life cozy and meaningful. However, it has the potential of destroying a community if not assimilated to the local situation.
The Andros are a traditional Chakpa community with a sense of preserving the age old customs and traditions. With the decay of autocracy a prop to their tradition has vanished. Different forces of modernization are making a foray on the community. Some of its traditions and practices have disappeared which include 'Lai Tanba', 'Luphu', 'Gangou Yanba', etc. The modern education and the employment in the state and central services has rendered many of them remaining aloof from the rituals and ceremonies.

Subsequently their sense4 of preserving things is under a big question mark. The book is a humble attempt to record, documents their customs and traditions so as to help in preserving them.
