Q11
“Every January after the harvest season 'Jonbeel Mela’ takes place in Jagiroad, 35 kilometres away from Guwahati and it is possibly the only fair in India, where the ‘barter system’ is still alive. A big market is organised during this fair and people from various tribes and communities exchange their products.”
In the light of the above paragraph, justify the values of ‘barter system’ in the lives of tribal communities.
