Folk songs and dance forms have been developed mainly out of celebrating socio-religious rituals and ceremonies. Songs and dances are integral ingredients of folk theatre. Each folk form has its specific community but their language is same. If we look into the origin and evolution of folk theatre; we have to admit that this theatrical tradition is interconnected with human civilization. Since the Vedic period, people have developed potential artistic qualities like songs, dance and many religious rituals to express their emotions, hope and aspirations. The musicality is one of the greatest characteristics of these folk dramas. The musical instruments used in such folk performances are developed indigenously and are a unique characteristic of these folk plays. Western Odisha is culturally influenced by assemblage of several traditions in several religious rituals. During the last quarter of the twentieth century, research and studies in the area of folk songs and dances along with folk theatre of this region have been revived and recognized, including the modern "Krushnaguru Bhajan", one type of folk lyrics/songs and Danda (Danda Yatra and Danda Nata), which are considered to be a part of the oldest art forms in India.

  • Social Anthropology of Orissa: a Critique
    International Journal of Cross-Cultural Studies Vol. 2 No. 1 (June, 2016) ISSN: 0975-1173 www.mukpublications.com Social Anthropology of Orissa: A Critique Nava Kishor Das Anthropological Survey of India India ABSTRACT Orissa is meeting place of three cultures, Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, and Munda and three ethno- linguistic sections. There are both indigenous and immigrant components of the Brahmans, Karna, who resemble like the Khatriyas, and others. The theory that Orissa did not have a viable Kshatriya varna has been critically considered by the historian -anthropologists. We will also see endogenous and exogenous processes of state formation. The Tribespeople had generally a two-tier structure of authority- village chief level and at the cluster of villages (pidha). Third tier of authority was raja in some places. Brahminism remained a major religion of Orissa throughout ages, though Jainism and Buddhism had their periods of ascendancy. There is evidence when Buddhism showed tendencies to merge into Hinduism, particularly into Saivism and Saktism. Buddhism did not completely die out, its elements entered into the Brahmanical sects. The historians see Hinduisation process intimately associated with the process of conversion, associated with the expansion of the Jagannatha cult, which co-existed with many traditions, and which led to building of Hindu temples in parts of tribal western Orissa. We notice the co-existence of Hinduisation/ peasantisation/ Kshatriyaisation/ Oriyaisation, all operating variously through colonisation. In Orissa, according to Kulke it was continuous process of ‘assimilation’ and partial integration. The tribe -Hindu caste intermingling is epitomised in the Jagannatha worship, which is today at the centre of Brahminic ritual and culture, even though the regional tradition of Orissa remaining tribal in origin.
