Design Quest an Advanced Research Journal on Design Oct 2019-March 2020 RNI NO. UPENG/2018/76546 Volume 2 | Issue 2 DESIGN QUEST AN ADVANCED RESEARCH JOURNAL ON DESIGN Oct 2019-March 2020 Dear Readers, With immense delight, we would like to present you the third issue of ‘Design Quest’ –an interdisciplinary journal talking about various facets of design. The journal is primarily centered on the exchange of ideas and research works done by different scholars that enrich the body of knowledge for our readers. In today’s time of technological advancements providing us a vast network of knowledge management through various platforms, we still feel that periodic journals hold an essential value for dissemination of information. These sector-focused journals have a potential of From reaching out to the specific readers which make use of the information shared for activating another chain The of novel ideas for further research. Researchers are always looking for a binding effect which their articles Editor’s can have for those swimming in the same ocean of knowledge. With this notion, we also want to act as an Desk... impetus for the future researchers to share their ideas and keep engaging our readers. This issue of Design Quest presents research works ranging from Traditional art and design practices across India to discussing gender identities for Male characters to the importance of design portfolio for the professionals in the design industry. With all our previous issues, we strongly feel that traditional crafts serve as one of the biggest inspirations for emerging works related to diagnostic studies, documentation practices, design analysis, product diversification and the development of newer markets for a brighter future of the craft sector in the world. The related papers on rallis of Rajasthan, Khandua of Orissa and Kalamkaris of Andhra Pradesh covered in this issue really provide a mental stimulation for loving the crafts all the more. Character portrayal is one of the important applications in the field of designing as it gives a life to the actors’ skill which is reflected in the 2D or 3D space. Exploring the changing identities of Male characters with Design Quest | An Advanced Research Journal on Design | Volume 2 | Issue 2 Oct 2019-March 2020 reference to its western ideals as seen in the popular culture would surely be encouraging to develop a historical perspective on cross-dressing and gender representations through changing fashion choices. Gupta period – a golden era in the Indian history for cultural developments in different parts of the country, has been an inviting area for the researchers from all walks of life. In this issue, an interesting paper on the developmental phases of Temple of Kalcuris and the changes in the architectural styles brings out its distinctiveness to this date. For design educators, the paper on a detailed analysis of Design portfolio would work as a foothold for the importance of the digital design developments in the industry. We not only need to focus on bringing out the strong works matching the skill set but also its creative and relevant presentation for carving a mark in the industry. With this, we wish for a thought provoking reading and keep writing to us for further issues. As J. K. Rowling says, “Words are our most inexhaustible source of magic.” Happy reading and writing!

There are many crafts that are already in practice and are commercialized; however, several are unknown and unexplored and this is Iwhere research comes into play, to bring these arts into the mainstream. With my overall analysis, I have found that the Ralli Craft is almost extinct. With the help of research and concurrent popularity, one can bring it back to life. Ralli craft originated in Sindh, Pakistan and post Partition, the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan (bordering Pakistan) have shown traits of this craft form.“Ralli” or “Relli”means “to connect” or “to get mixed” and in Hindi, it is synonymous with “Ralanna ”. It is the coming together of one fabric swatch with another, using Patchwork and Appliqué work. “Rallis” are made by women of rural villages, nomadic tribes and small townships. The patterns used are geometric and bold and give a dynamic and graphical finish; very similar 6 to OP Art. A wide range of colors is used with as many as 5 different shades in one design composition. “A single thread of hope is stronger than all the chains that bind you” - Jeffrey Fry The quote above applies aptly to this nearly extinct craft which can be heavily diversified and brought into contemporary handicraft. Keywords: Indian Handicraft, Patchwork, Applique, Geometric Patterns, Sustainability, Embroideries, Surface Technique.

Village industries and handlooms were well integrated into the rural economy and the whole organisation was a part and parcel of socio-cultural fabric of the society. The social traditions, ethos and values were reflected in the handloom products. The handloom products, which have survived against the competition from machine made cloth, represent the rich artistic traditions of our country. Globalised economy has contributed to the ever-increasing competition among the developing nations. Due to this, the traditional crafts of the country are under threat from the neighboring countries by way of replication of the traditional items.

  • Odisha As a Multicultural State: from Multiculturalism to Politics of Sub-Regionalism
    Afro Asian Journal of Social Sciences Volume VII, No II. Quarter II 2016 ISSN: 2229 – 5313 ODISHA AS A MULTICULTURAL STATE: FROM MULTICULTURALISM TO POLITICS OF SUB-REGIONALISM Artatrana Gochhayat Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, under West Bengal State University, Barasat, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT The state of Odisha has been shaped by a unique geography, different cultural patterns from neighboring states, and a predominant Jagannath culture along with a number of castes, tribes, religions, languages and regional disparity which shows the multicultural nature of the state. But the regional disparities in terms of economic and political development pose a grave challenge to the state politics in Odisha. Thus, multiculturalism in Odisha can be defined as the territorial division of the state into different sub-regions and in terms of regionalism and sub- regional identity. The paper attempts to assess Odisha as a multicultural state by highlighting its cultural diversity and tries to establish the idea that multiculturalism is manifested in sub- regionalism. Bringing out the major areas of sub-regional disparity that lead to secessionist movement and the response of state government to it, the paper concludes with some suggestive measures. INTRODUCTION The concept of multiculturalism has attracted immense attention of the academicians as well as researchers in present times for the fact that it not only involves the question of citizenship, justice, recognition, identities and group differentiated rights of cultural disadvantaged minorities, it also offers solutions to the challenges arising from the diverse cultural groups. It endorses the idea of difference and heterogeneity which is manifested in the cultural diversity.

Department of Political Science, Berhampur University, Odisha Abstract: This paper examines the rise of regionalism in Odisha. As a state, Odisha is one of the most backward regions in India. The process of development becomes extremely significant in the context of intra-regional disparities. Against this backdrop, regionalism continues to thrive in western Odisha due to regional cleavages and prevalence of socio-economic disparities and political inequalities.

Introduction regional polarisation of politics was very much reflected in the elections to the The present state of Odisha Odisha Legislative Assembly.

Culture is the manifestation of system of activity wherein a man socializes himself through interacting with other human being. The culture and society are interdependent, though the society is spontaneously emerged in the process of social evolution. Culture is the way of life to which men acquire and assimilate the value and mode of behavior to accommodate himself to be the member of existing society. Culture differs from one society to another or one community to another. The liking and disliking of a culture depends upon generation to generation. Today’s culture may not be liked by population of next generations’. In the same way tribal culture of western Odisha is not rigid and static rather it is changing with the contemporary society, till then to preserve tribal identity few cultural practices are still pursued from their ancestors. Objectives: i. To understand the nature and extent of cultural performance among tribal of western Odisha. ii. To obtain basic ideas on the Influential factors of cultural degradation in tribal society.
