  • Performing Adivasiyat Through Sarhul Festival in Jharkhand Subodh Kunwer* School of Arts and Aesthetics, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India
    OPEN ACCESS Freely available online Anthropology ISSN: 2332-0915 Research Article Performing Adivasiyat through Sarhul Festival in Jharkhand Subodh Kunwer* School of Arts and Aesthetics, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India ABSTRACT This article arises from my academic research, ‘Moving the Centre: Performing Sarhul and Becoming Adivasi in Contemporary Jharkhand’ completed at Jawaharlal Nehru University in July 2015. The paper examines Sarhul festival celebration as a cultural performance in the contemporary Adivasi (indigenous) discourse in Jharkhand, India. The article discusses the mobilization of memory, rights and discourse through ritual performances. It explains how enactment of a ritual brings back the history, memory and imagination of indigenous struggles in the context of Jharkhand region. The Sarhul performance shows that the issue of indigeneity is a current issue demanding certain cultural and political claims. Keywords: Sarhul; Adivasi; Ritual; Performance; Mobilization; Jharkhand INTRODUCTION a lived experience in Jharkhand and how this idea of indigeneity gets mediated through different actors, including urban elites, There exists a large corpus of material on the formation of activists and villagers. Shah gives an interesting example of Parha Jharkhand state and on adivasi identity [1-4]. Most of these works Mela (Parha Festival) as an assertion of the separation of the parha deal with the questions of adivasi identity around the issues of system and the sarkari State. She rightly remarks how the festival land, forest and displacement. The questions of land, river and allows the adivasis who participated in the festival to display their forest are constantly evoked both by scholars and activists to speak power, dispense patronage and mobilize supporters.
