	'''''The Seven Sisters of India: Tribal Worlds Between Tibet and Burma''''' is a book by Aglaja Stirn and Peter Van Ham and published by Prestel Publishing in 2001. The book is the first comprehensive publication on India's remote northeast starting from Tibet in the north to Myanmar (Burma) in the south and in between the [[Seven Sister States\|North eastern states of India]]. This is an area where people continue a way of life steeped in ancient ritual which is scarcely known to the western world and hence rarely visited by foreigners.
