Paper Title
Traditional Barter System of the Monpa Community: A case study of Zemithang Circle in Arunachal Pradesh

Abstract
This study explores the traditional barter system practiced by the Monpa community in Zemithang Circle, Tawang district, Arunachal Pradesh - a border region historically linked to Tibet and Bhutan. Drawing on oral histories from elders and field interviews, it traces the evolution, items exchanged such as mar (butter) and churpi( cheese) for grains and salt, trade routes via Kenzamane to Tsona, and service exchanges like labour during harvests( Blanpa/Lakpar) and ritual payments. The system fostered social cohesion amid geographical challenges but faced limitations including double coincidence of wants, unequal bargaining, and exploitation by officials. Despite transitioning to a monetary economy, barter's cultural echoes persist in community rituals, highlighting its role in economic survival and reciprocity.
