  • Literature Review in India: - a Case Study of Gujjar and Bakerwals
    Mukt Shabd Journal ISSN NO : 2347-3150 Literature Review in India: - A Case Study of Gujjar and Bakerwals Dr. Raja Shahid Mughal Abstract Gujjars and Bakerwals are two names of one tribe popularly known as Gujjars in Indian sub- continent. Gujjars form an important ethnic and linguistic group. A country like India is a place to a variety of population with their separate culture, traditions and living styles. India is a home to almost more than half of the world’s tribal population. Gujrat, the state of India, was once called as Gujjar- Rashtra, which indicate the meaning Kingdom of Gujjar’s. From this area Gujjar’s established their kingdom and spread over other parts of the country.In this paper I describe the almost whole review about the literature of Gujjar and Bakerwals . Keyword:- Culture, Nomadic Life, Tribals, Gujari (Gojri), Gujjar Bakarwal tribals. Introduction Various studies have been conducted to discuss and analyze the different dimensions of the tribal life in India. Therefore, available relevant studies have been critically reviewed. Hudson (1922) in his book entitled “The Primitive Culture of India” traced the complex historical evaluation of various tribes of India and Hulton (1941) examined their socio- cultural condition. Ghurye (1943) argued that the tribals were backward caste Hindus. He at that time also held that they should be given equal status like the other Hindus. Majumdar (1944) following Ghurye‟s argument suggested that the cultural identity of tribals should be secured for which he stressed that there should be 'selected integration' of the tribals. Explaining it in detail he further held that only those people should be permitted to enter in this community who have relevance with tribal life.
