The article discusses the Wancho tribe, a group with Mongolian origins that settled in the Patkai Ranges on the India-Myanmar border around the 12th and 13th centuries. The Wanchos were known for their headhunting practices, which were part of their animist beliefs and tribal laws. These practices, which were conducted for ceremonial and ritualistic purposes, such as protecting or acquiring land, were abolished in the 1960s with the introduction of Christianity and the establishment of civil society in the region. The article is part of a series that explores land-based conflicts and geographies in the North East of India, focusing on the last remaining headhunters of the Wancho tribe.

The article narrates the author's visit to Khonsa in Arunachal Pradesh, home to the Noctes tribe, known for their erstwhile practice of headhunting. Richa, a local government employee, shares local folklore about 'Goblins' and the secret recipe for 'jumin', a traditional rice beer. The Noctes, who have given up headhunting since the 1960s, are now mostly Christianized, with the exception of the village of Lapnan, which preserves Nocte culture and traditions. The author describes the Morung, a sacred place displaying hunted heads, and the community's efforts to preserve their identity and culture. The article also touches on the Noctes' employment in government services and their celebration of Loku, a harvest festival. The author, Udit Kulshrestha, is an independent photographer who documents culture and conflict in North East India.

Udit Kulshrestha, a documentary photographer, photojournalist, and conceptual artist, contributes an article to Edge of Humanity Magazine about his project 'Wancho Warriors Wood Slices'. The article discusses the Wancho tribe, originally from Mongolia and now settled in the Patkai Ranges on the India-Myanmar border. The Wanchos, known for their headhunting tradition, have ceased this practice since the 1960s due to the influence of civil society and Christianity. Kulshrestha's series explores the impact of deforestation and development on the Wancho's sacred forestland. He uses the historical photographic process of Cyanotype, incorporating soil from Wancho land and wood from the region, to create visual narratives of the tribe's history and their relationship with the forest. The article also reflects on the spiritual connection between trees and humans, as articulated by Hermann Hesse.

Uber has faced significant challenges including a loss of investor support, a decrease in valuation by $20 billion, and the departure of its controversial CEO, Travis Kalanick.

This sale will make Kalanick a billionaire. The article also touches on the broader issue of rapid wealth accumulation in Silicon Valley, as highlighted in Emily Chang's upcoming book 'Brotopia', and suggests that amidst a volatile tech market, cashing out is becoming a more attractive option for tech executives like Kalanick and Jimmy Iovine, who is expected to leave Apple Music.
