Indigenous Approaches to Knowledge Generation
INDIGENOUS APPROACHES TO KNOWLEDGE GENERATION Unveiling the Ways to Knowledge Generation, Continuation, Distribution and Control of the Pariyars: Commonalities and Points of Departure from School Pedagogy By Ganga Bahadur Gurung This thesis is submitted to the Tribhuvan University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Master of Philosophy in Education January, 2009 Abstract The purpose of the study was to uncover the approaches to knowledge generation, continuation, distribution and control of the Pariyars, one of the least privileged caste groups of Nepal. I even tried to explore the commonalities and points of departure between the Pariyars' indigenous knowledge and our school pedagogy. The principal research question of my study was: How do the Pariyars of Nepal generate the knowledge regarding music and what are the indigenous approaches they use in knowledge generation? To ease my study, I formulated three subsidiary questions focusing on knowledge distribution, control and the ways to knowledge generation at home and at school. The review of the literature covered the general review of different types of literature regarding the Panchai Baja followed by the review of specific theoretical closures regarding the knowledge generation of the Pariyars and the issues linked herewith. As my study area was basically focused on the perceptions of the individuals regarding the culture they live in, their ways of knowledge generation and other ideas associated to indigenous knowledge, I adopted the qualitative research methods. Since my study was more cultural and was more linked with the perceptions of the individuals, I used ethnographic methods to unveil the indigenous knowledge of the Pariyars.

Culture Research Paper Musical Instruments Draft
Musical instruments: the Forgotten Heritage of the Himalayas Nabila Siddiqui and Sejuti Basu Research & Advocacy Team, PRAGYA Introduction The human voice is believed to be the first medium of musical communication, the most natural and the most expressive instrument of all time. the primitive musical instruments appeared as the human beings started imitating sounds of nature, using sounds to protect themselves, sometimes, just for the sake of the harmony. Musical instruments evolved over the years from hollow reed or rattling of stones, to add nuances to musical expressions. Through study of these instruments, we can seek to understand music - a highly regarded and ever expanding body of knowledge. The Himalayan region is a composite of several cultural cosmoses rolled into one, each little valley or plateau with its distinctive cultural forms. Every mountain slope is, from the anthropo-geographical standpoint, a complex phenomenon displaying a whole range of cultural features/combinations. The Himalayan communities have a wealth of traditional art including the traditional music and dances. Music, an intangible art form is an integral component of the lives of the Himalayan way of life. The people possess a wealth of musical heritage comprising music and musical instruments, with a number of distinctive instruments and vocal styles. Folk music and musical instruments are intrinsic part of Himalayan culture. The music of the Himalayas reflects the unique cultural heritage of the region and the various ethnic groups across the Himalayan countries of India, Nepal and Bhutan. However, organologic study of musical instruments from the Himalayas is limited. An effort here is made to discuss and classify a precious few of the Himalayan musical instruments and understand their importance in the day-to-day life or the religious ceremonies that are interwined with the traditional social practices of the region.

243 Chapter-V Decorative Art of Sub- Himalayan
243 CHAPTER-V DECORATIVE ART OF SUB- HIMALAYAN DARJEELING Man has travelled a long way towards the accomplishment of his expectation for the comfort, satisfaction and utilities of life, from cave cells in distant mountainous regions and forests to contemporary flats, with labor-saving apparatus in the urban areas and better amenities even in smaller towns with power and water supplies. But has he done so really speaking? Today, the city dweller has to live, not in a small cave cell, but in a cultured apartment with his entire family in a vast mountain like form within asector not much larger than that of a cave cell or a small mud hut. Wherever he may dwell, man’s residence has to be a place where he can carry on his household pursuits, relax after his day’s work and engage in a corporate life with his family and friends. Towards that end he desire to works, and gears all his spirits. Various countries have distinct types of homes, built in keeping with their climatic situations, the specific ways of life of the people of the country and conventional architectural trends. They are also equipped with a view to his work, respite and pleasure and as esthetically as feasible within his means. Various notions of Decoration India’s huge treasures of cave dwellings and archaeological traces and architectural grandeur, found all over the country, provide adequateproof that man has always tried to make his environment propitiate to himself, artistic, signifying and above all utilitarian.The once successful, buried cities of Lothal, Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa that have now been excavated and are served as prehistoric sites are evidence of the way people lived, the things of houses they construct and the things that were permanently used by them.

European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 07, 2020 Patron-Musicians: A Socio- Imperialism In Sikkim Dr. Kumar Sargam Assistant Professor, School of Humanities ,Lovely Professional University Jalandhar Punjab India Email- [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Patrons – Musicians’ relations has been discussed in a variety of context over the years in different disciplines. There are a wide range of study on patrons- musicians’ relations in Sikkim. The studies dwell on economic interaction with music between upper caste and the lower caste. In Sikkim there are mainly three musicians caste the Damai, the Badi and Gaine who directly or indirectly provide auspicious music to other castes. However, these auspicious music makers are untouchable from whom the food and water may not be accepted. The musician caste Damai are the musicians cum tailor with whom traditional way of patronage is still alive in the countryside. This study oriented on the social and traditional way of patronage among the Dalit Caste the Damai Musicians. This study is important to understand the social interaction and social transformation of Damai musician in Sikkim. Researcher visited to the remote village of Dalits in Sikkim and study the distinct culture of musician and the way of patronage. After the peasantry become weak and the influence of modern music become strong, the loop of traditional way of patronage become feeble. Because of urbanism and modern influence in music, Damai musicians change the traditional way of patronize and become the professional. The instruments like Damaha, Temko, Sahanai, Narsingha and Jhyali they only used to play for the patrons’ in all rituals accordingly in traditional way but after the education empowerment, and the caste system and untouchable means is in declining position, the Damai musicians get more opportunity to spread away.

In a world where I can fly from Atlanta to Beijing non-stop in fifteen hours, I sometimes convince myself that geography no longer matters. I was born in the tropics, raised in the arctic, and became a dual citizen of the same two countries twice. I could distinguish gunshots from fireworks by age five and have ridden the Trans-Siberian Railroad in both directions.

Musical Nepal
Musical Nepal Nepalese musical instruments have immense substance in its culture and society. No ritual, festival or any ceremony go without these instruments being played. If historic facts are anything to believe then Nepal has more than 200 musical instruments of its own and only about 100 have been discovered till date. Nepal has so many forms of music of its own to share with the rest of the world. Moreover, the musical tradition is so diverse along with lots of unique musical instruments being played. Every {tooltip} ethnic group {end-texte} An ethnic group (or ethnicity) is a group of people whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage, consisting of a common language, a common culture (often including a shared religion) and a tradition of common ancestry (corresponding to a history of endogamy). {end-tooltip} has their unique set of instruments that they play. Amongst many, an ethnic community that has historic touch with Nepalese music is the Damai. They are the traditional musicians who play musical instruments in ceremonies, occasions, etc. to perform the rituals and tradition. The connection of Damai seems to be attached with the innovation of a flat drum called Damaha which is generally prepared by wood or metal. The name Damai denotes the functional relation between Damaha and the one playing it. It is sad that there are still hundreds of instruments, which are unheard, untouched and unexplored but it is worse when beautiful instruments like the {tooltip} Sarangi {end-texte} 1 / 4 Musical Nepal DhimeyoldestAlthough{end-texte}Kathmandu,hasNepal.societyperformsprocessions.{end-texte}NewarexcelandstillHowever,communitytraditionsong.{end-tooltip}heartKathmandu
