Shifting cultivation also known as Jhum or Swidden agriculture has been viewed as one of the challenges to tribal development in India over many decades. According to the tenth five year plan, shifting cultivation has remained as one of the unresolved issues of planning for tribal development in India (GOI, 2014). Historically, the word agriculture has been used synonymously with the word farming.

  • Land Alienation and Livelihood Problems of Scheduled Tribes in Kerala
    Research on Humanities and Social Sciences www.iiste.org ISSN (Paper)2224-5766 ISSN (Online)2225-0484 (Online) Vol.4, No.10, 2014 Land Alienation and Livelihood Problems of Scheduled Tribes in Kerala Dr. Haseena V.A Assistant professor, Post Graduate Department of Economics, M.E.S Asmabi College P.Vemballur, Kodunagllur, Thrissur, Kerala Email: [email protected] Introduction The word 'tribe' is generally used for a socially cohesive unit, associated with a territory, the member of which regards them as politically autonomous. Often a tribe possesses a distinct dialect and distinct cultural traits. Tribe can be defined as a “collection of families bearing a common name, speaking a common dialect, occupying or professing to occupy a common territory and is not usually endogamous though originally it might have been so”. According to R.N. Mukherjee, a tribe is that human group, whose members have common interest, territory, language, social law and economic occupation. Scheduled Tribes in India are generally considered to be ‘Adivasis,’ meaning indigenous people or original inhabitants of the country. The tribes have been confined to low status and are often physically and socially isolated instead of being absorbed in the mainstream Hindu population. Psychologically, the Scheduled Tribes often experience passive indifference that may take the form of exclusion from educational opportunities, social participation, and access to their own land. All tribal communities are not alike. They are products of different historical and social conditions. They belong to different racial stocks and religious backgrounds and speak different dialects. Discrimination against women, occupational differentiation, and emphasis on status and hierarchical social ordering that characterize the predominant mainstream culture are generally absent among the tribal groups.

  • Cultural Factors of Christianizing the Erstwhile Lushai Hills (1890-1940)
    Mizoram University Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences (A Bi-Annual Refereed Journal) Vol IV Issue 2, December 2018 ISSN: 2395-7352 eISSN:2581-6780 Cultural Factors of Christianizing the erstwhile Lushai Hills (1890-1940) Zadingluaia Chinzah* Abstract Alexandrapore incident became a turning point in the history of the erstwhile Lushai Hills inhabited by simple hill people, living an egalitarian and communitarian life. The result of the encounter between two diverse and dissimilar cultures that were contrary to their form of living and thinking in every way imaginable resulted in the political annexation of the erstwhile Lushai Hills by the British colonial power,which was soon followed by the arrival of missionaries. In consolidating their hegemony and imperial designs, the missionaries were tools through which the hill tribes were to be pacified from raiding British territories. In the long run, this encounter resulted in the emergence and escalation of Christianity in such a massive scale that the hill tribes with their primal religious practices were converted into a westernised reli- gion. The paper problematizes claims for factors that led to the rise of Christianity by various Mizo Church historians, inclusive of the early generations and the emerging church historians. Most of these historians believed that waves of Revivalism was the major factor in Christianizing the erstwhile Lushai Hills though their perspectives or approach to their presumptions are different. Hence, the paper hypothesizes that cultural factors were integral to the rise and growth of Christianity in the erstwhile Lushai Hills during 1890-1940 as against the claims made before. Keywords : ‘Cultural Factors of Conversion,’ Tlawmngaihna, Thangchhuah, Pialral, Revivals.

The Indian constitution enjoin on the state the responsibility to promote, with special care, the education and economic interests of scheduled tribes and protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation. Their development is a special responsibility of the state. The successive plans have been laying considerable emphasis on special development programmes for the tribals. The physical development of an area itself will not be sufficient. It must go hand in hand with the development of the people of the region. No section of any community should be allowed to expose to the exploitation and benefits of the development must diffuse as widely as possible. Background Jalanidhi phase 1 covered 8664 tribal households in 33 Grama panchayaths, during the first phase of Jalanidhi KRWSA adopted separate Tribal development plan in 10 Grama panchayaths namely Agali, Pudur, Sholayur, Muthalamada, Pothukal, Athirappally, Perumatty , Kulathupuzha and Thirunelly and Chaliyar. It is evident that the coverage of tribal population is much higher than in TDP comparing to general water supply and sanitation project. The tribal, who hitherto had received free service, have accepted the change in thinking and contributed Rs.83.6 lakhs in cash and labor to the beneficiary share.

  • Land Question and the Tribals of Kerala
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 2, ISSUE 9, SEPTEMBER 2013 ISSN 2277-8616 Land Question And The Tribals Of Kerala Nithya N.R. Abstract: The paper seeks to examine the land question of tribals in Kerala, India. In the context of developing countries such as India, the state of Kerala has often been cited as a model. Notable among its achievements is the good health indicator in terms of mortality and fertility rates and high levels of utilization of formal health services and cent percent literacy. Later, it was observed that this model has several outlier communities in which tribal communities were the most victimized ones. The tribals are children of nature and their lifestyle is conditioned by the Ecosystem. After the sixty years of formation of the state tribals continues as one of the most marginalized community within the state, the post globalised developmental projects and developmental dreams of the state has again made the deprivation of the tribals of Kerala and the developmental divide has increased between the tribal and non-tribal in the state. The paper argues that deprivation of land and forests are the worst forms of oppression that these people experience. Index Terms: Land, Tribals, India, Kerala, Globalization, Government, Alienation ———————————————————— 1 INTRODUCTION There are over 700 Scheduled Tribes notified under Article The forest occupies a central position in tribal culture and 342 of the Constitution of India, spread over different States economy. India is also characterized by having second and Union Territories of the country. Tribals are among the largest tribal (Adivasis) population in the world.

Until the appointment of T.H Lewin [Thangliana] (1839-1916) as Deputy Commissioner of Hill Tract, the British had little knowledge on the details of the Mizos and their cultural history. He was appointed to confront the problem of how to come to terms with the Mizo (Lushai and Shendu) chiefs who were constantly “hostile” to the British. Lewin early career in India was describe by himself in his ethnographic text “A fly on the Wheel or How I helped to Govern India” published in 1885. The work of T.H Lewin has been described extensively in Mizo literary circles –mostly his contributions toward the Mizo society in a straightforward manner. He has been often portrayed as a paternalist figure of Mizo society. One of the main objectives of this paper is to inject further discussion and debate on his European background and his love for the Mizo people in the course of colonial territorial- making in North East India. Key Words: Knowledge, Colonial, Ethnography, Tribe, Lushai, European, Paternalist The main objective of this paper is to generated and produced throughout their situate colonialism and European association with the Mizos. Particularly ethnographic practices in the process of from the second half of the nineteenth Mizo history making in the second half century, Lushai Hills becomes – what of nineteenth century Lushai Hills.
