  • A Study on Life Style of Jenu Kuruba Tribes Working As Unorganised Labourers
    Jenu Kuruba Tribes / 79 A Study on Life Style of Jenu Kuruba Tribes working as Unorganised Labourers * Pradeep M D ** Kalicharan M L Abstract Tribals usually are primitive people, living socially as homogeneous unit with their own culture different subsistence pattern, custom, superstitious beliefs, distinct life style living in isolation from outside influence. Forests are closely associated with the tribal economy and culture. Foreign invasion affected tribal life by assimilating through invading their culture. The independent India saw the legal takeover of prime tribal lands in the name of development dispelling millions of tribes. The Government of India adopted a policy to integrate tribes with modernization by encouraging partnership between the tribes and non tribes. The policy of integration or progressive acculturation has laid the foundation for the march of the tribes towards Equality, Upward Mobility, Economic viability and National mainstreaming. The tribes who are very backward are grouped into ‘Primitive Tribes’ having a low level of literacy, declining in population, poor technological access and extreme economic backwardness. Jenu Kuruba Tribes are one of the vulnerable Tribal Groups living in the state of Karnataka. This paper examines the socio-economic life of Jenu Kuruba Tribes covering personal profile, economic condition, literacy, housing pattern and the use of welfare schemes. This research will suggest ways for new interventions to solve the problems through the collective intervention of government officials, local administration, social workers, and the general public. Key Words: Tribes, Culture, Primitive People, Adjustment, Welfare. Introduction The word 'Tribe' is derived from the Latin word 'Tribus' meaning one among the three people, 'Ramayana' denotes 'Jana' the people with different physical appearance, having superstitious beliefs.

    Abstract The Sacred Grove (SG) concept is one of the strategies developed by many human societies to conserve biological resources using a traditional approach. In a village landscape, compared to other forest patches, the sacred forest benefits rural societies in a better way through its ecosystem service outputs. However, the supply of ecosystem services depends on the structure and processes of ecosystems and is reduced with ecosystem degradation. In view of the fact that several SGs are being degraded, there is a necessity to identify direct and indirect drivers of forest degradation and then to develop decision support systems considering the present socio-cultural and economic dimensions to make information readily available to SG managers. With this background, the present study was conducted in five SGs (Kammadam Kavu, Karimanal Chamundi Kavu, Mani Kavu, Poyil Kavu and Valliyotu Kavu) of Kerala. Here, two approaches were taken to contribute for developing decision support systems for sacred forest conservation and management. The first approach was to assess ecosystem services of well-managed SGs as an opportunity for the conservation and management of SGs of the Western Ghats. The second approach was to identify direct and indirect drivers of degradation of SGs to compile and share useful information for planning interventions to combat forest degradation, reduce vulnerability and promote sustainable management of SGs. The level and intensity of disturbances are qualitative in nature and thus analytical method/s to assess and compare level, intensity and diversity of disturbances in SGs had to be developed. In the present study, eight disturbance variables namely, a) loss of forest land, b) pre-mature fall of trees, c) trespass, d) Illegal collection of biomass, e) dumping of solid waste, f) anti-social activities and g) use of SG area as playground were identified.

  • College of William and Mary Department of Economics Working Paper Number 137
    The Labor/Land Ratio and India’s Caste System Harriet Orcutt Duleep (Thomas Jefferson Program in Public Policy, College of William and Mary and IZA- Institute for the Study of Labor) College of William and Mary Department of Economics Working Paper Number 137 March 2013 COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS WORKING PAPER # 137 March 2013 The Labor/Land Ratio and India’s Caste System Abstract This paper proposes that India’s caste system and involuntary labor were joint responses by a nonworking landowning class to a low labor/land ratio in which the rules of the caste system supported the institution of involuntary labor. The hypothesis is tested in two ways: longitudinally, with data from ancient religious texts, and cross-sectionally, with twentieth-century statistics on regional population/land ratios linked to anthropological measures of caste-system rigidity. Both the longitudinal and cross-sectional evidence suggest that the labor/land ratio affected the caste system’s development, persistence, and rigidity over time and across regions of India.

In the 1930’s, Gunther (1939, p. 378) described south India as the “...home of Hinduism in its most intensive form...virtually a disease...

    Harappan Civilisation and UNIT 1 RECONSTRUCTING ANCIENT Other Chalcolithic SOCIETY WITH SPECIAL Cultures REFERENCE TO SOURCES Structure 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Sources 1.1.1 Epigraphy 1.1.2 Numismatics 1.1.3 Archaeology 1.1.4 Literature 1.2 Interpretation 1.3 The Ancient Society: Anthropological Readings 1.4 Nature of Archaeology 1.5 Textual Sources 1.6 Summary 1.7 Glossary 1.8 Exercises 1.0 INTRODUCTION The primary objective of this unit is to acquaint the learner with the interpretations of the sources that reveal the nature of the ancient society. We therefore need to define the meaning of the term ‘ancient society’ to begin with and then move on to define a loose chronology in the context of the sources and their readings. It would also be useful to have an understanding about the various readings of the sources, a kind of a historiography of the interpretative regime. In order to facilitate a better understanding this unit is divided into five sections. In the introduction we have discussed the range of interpretations that are deployed on the sources and often the sources also become interpretative in nature. The complexity of the sources has also been dealt with in the same context. The new section then discusses the ancient society and what it means. This discussion is spread across the regions and the varying sources that range from archaeology to oral traditions. The last section then gives some concluding remarks. 1.1 SOURCES Here we introduce you to different kinds of sources that help us reconstruct the social structure.

  • Economic and Cultural History of Tamilnadu from Sangam Age to 1800 C.E
    I - M.A. HISTORY Code No. 18KP1HO3 SOCIO – ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF TAMILNADU FROM SANGAM AGE TO 1800 C.E. UNIT – I Sources The Literay Sources Sangam Period The consisted, of Tolkappiyam a Tamil grammar work, eight Anthologies (Ettutogai), the ten poems (Padinen kell kanakku ) the twin epics, Silappadikaram and Manimekalai and other poems. The sangam works dealt with the aharm and puram life of the people. To collect various information regarding politics, society, religion and economy of the sangam period, these works are useful. The sangam works were secular in character. Kallabhra period The religious works such as Tamil Navalar Charital,Periyapuranam and Yapperumkalam were religious oriented, they served little purpose. Pallava Period Devaram, written by Apper, simdarar and Sambandar gave references tot eh socio economic and the religious activities of the Pallava age. The religious oriented Nalayira Tivya Prabandam also provided materials to know the relation of the Pallavas with the contemporary rulers of South India. The Nandikkalambakam of Nandivarman III and Bharatavenba of Perumdevanar give a clear account of the political activities of Nandivarman III. The early pandya period Limited Tamil sources are available for the study of the early Pandyas. The Pandikkovai, the Periyapuranam, the Divya Suri Carita and the Guruparamparai throw light on the study of the Pandyas.
