Suheel Rasool Mir’s research provides an in-depth understanding of Pahari community, which predominantly inhabits the northern areas of the Indian subcontinent, particularly within certain sections of Jammu and Kashmir. The Pahari community is characterized by its distinct cultural and linguistic elements and Mir’s sociological research provides critical insights into their social organization, identity and various challenges they encounter. This extensive effort culminated in a significant publication titled “VOICES ACROSS THE PIR PANJAL; An Ethnographic Study of a Pahari Tribe.” The book delves into the secluded terrain of the Pir Panjal range while unraveling the complex cultural

intricacies of the Pahari people. Mir’s three years of dedicated research serves as a valuable resource for grasping the socio-historical context of this tribe. The text centers on their ethnic identity, cultural practices and traditional values, allowing readers to explore their rich historical legacy alongside current aspects of social existence through modern sociological and anthropological lenses. The work offers a well-rounded comprehension of the tribe, framed through sociological and anthropological discussions.
