                    <text>&lt;p&gt;This inaugural song is a representative one that describes the socio-cultural history of this community.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Various theories abound as to the true nature of the origins of the Mech tribe. The name “Mech”, for instance, is said to have come down from the word “&lt;i&gt;mlechchha”&lt;/i&gt;. Another theory suggests that the name was bestowed upon the tribe since they had supposedly crossed the Mechi river from Nepal towards India. The Bodo community in North Bengal is often referred to as Sanjaari by the same tribe living in Nepal, while the same community is referred to as Bardanaari by the Mech tribe. The Mech tribe follows an animistic religion called Bathouism.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;Various theories abound as to the true nature of the origins of the Mech tribe. The name “Mech”, for instance, is said to have come down from the word “&lt;i&gt;mlechchha”&lt;/i&gt;. Another theory suggests that the name was bestowed upon the tribe since they had supposedly crossed the Mechi river from Nepal towards India. The Bodo community in North Bengal is often referred to as Sanjaari by the same tribe living in Nepal, while the same community is referred to as Bardanaari by the Mech tribe. The Mech tribe follows an animistic religion called Bathouism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While the Dhimal community is still fighting for the right to be classified as a tribe, the Bodo community has been classified as a tribe for many years. The community enjoys a special status in Assam, where its script, culture, and literature has been celebrated for many years. The Bodo Sahitya Sabha, which is the parent body of the Paschim Banga Bodo Sahitya Sabha, has served as an important voice in Assamese public life. However, the Mech tribe in North Bengal has not enjoyed much patronage of this kind.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Various theories abound as to the true nature of the origins of the Mech tribe. The name “Mech”, for instance, is said to have come down from the word “&lt;i&gt;mlechchha”&lt;/i&gt;. Another theory suggests that the name was bestowed upon the tribe since they had supposedly crossed the Mechi river from Nepal towards India. The Bodo community in North Bengal is often referred to as Sanjaari by the same tribe living in Nepal, while the same community is referred to as Bardanaari by the Mech tribe. The Mech tribe follows an animistic religion called Bathouism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While the Dhimal community is still fighting for the right to be classified as a tribe, the Bodo community has been classified as a tribe for many years. The community enjoys a special status in Assam, where its script, culture, and literature has been celebrated for many years. The Bodo Sahitya Sabha, which is the parent body of the Paschim Banga Bodo Sahitya Sabha, has served as an important voice in Assamese public life. However, the Mech tribe in North Bengal has not enjoyed much patronage of this kind.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
