Human Sacrifice in Colonial Central India: Myth, Agency and Representation Crispin Bates The sanguinary nature of early contacts with the tribals, or adivasis, of central India did not bode well for their future reputation. The first expedition into Bastar by Captain Blunt, in 1795, was attacked and expelled from the country, from which experience may be traced some of the more fearful accounts of the savagery of tribal Gonds.1 The already established reputations of the predatory Bhils of Gujarat and the rebellious Santhals and Kols of Bihar also served to colour the expectations of early travellers in central India.

  • Navratri and Dandiya Raas in the Indus Valley? by Bibhu Dev Misra 14 March, 2016
    Navratri and Dandiya Raas in the Indus Valley? By Bibhu Dev Misra 14 March, 2016 The Kalibangan cylinder seal K‐65 has a complex imagery. An impression of the seal shows two men dressed as warriors (since they are wearing their hair in a divided bun at the back of the head) spearing each other. They are holding the hand of a lady who is wearing a long head‐scarf, bangles in one arm, and a long skirt. Behind them is a woman partially dressed as a tiger, wearing a horned headdress with a leafy branch, head‐scarf, bangles, and a long skirt. Fig 1: The Impression of Kalibangan cylinder seal K‐65 shows two warriors spearing each other, and holding the hand of a lady, while a woman dressed as a tiger stands nearby. At first glance it appears that the two men, who are dressed as warriors, are fighting over a lady. But if that were the case, why is the woman dressed as a tiger standing next to them? She looks completely out of place in a fighting scene. It seems more likely that the seal imagery is a depiction of a martial dance with spears performed by the Indus inhabitants. Traces of such cultural practices are still present within the various folk and tribal traditions of India. Many tribal groups of Chhattisgarh such as the Gonds, Baigas, Ahirs and others perform a post‐ harvest dance called the Saila dance. The Saila is a martial dance with fast and vigorous movements, predominantly performed by men, although women also take part.

While numerous ethnographic studies have been made of the predominantly tribal people of Bastar, there have been no attempts to contextualize properly the anthropology of what is now Bastar district. It is for this reason that an historical approach was chosen. This approach has led to the uncovering of a number of salient, anthropological problems: firstly, the
