The people of India are divided and sub- divided into a number of heterogeneous communities with separate linguistic base and cultural identity. India is also characterized by having the second largest tribal population in the world. The tribal groups also belong to various ethnic categories on the basis of geographical, racial, linguistic and economic conditions. From time immemorial tribal communities constitute an important segment of Indian society. Among the citizens of India, these communities are kept under weaker section because they are socio - economically and educationally backward classes. In many corners of the country most of the primitive tribes still profess their traditional occupations such as food gathering, hunting, fishing and primitive type of agriculture. -
ABSTRACT Title of Document: PLACE and CASTE IDENTIFICATION
ABSTRACT Title of Document: PLACE AND CASTE IDENTIFICATION: DISTANCIATION AND SPATIAL IMAGINARIES ON A CASTE-BASED SOCIAL NETWORK. Jillet Sarah Sam, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor George Ritzer, Sociology This thesis studies the potency of place in mobilizing social categories, and its implications for both social categories and places. I use the theory of distanciation to study associations between caste identity and place. I conducted an ethnographic study of a caste-based digital group, the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar, to understand the connections and disconnections between the Thiyya caste and Malabar from the perspectives of different sets of actors involved in the identification of caste, namely the nation-state and members of this caste-based network. The nation-state knows the Thiyya caste in a manner that is disconnected from Malabar, while the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar seek to re-emphasize the identification of this caste through the region. Participant observation and in-depth interviews indicate that through references to Malabar, the group seeks to establish a Thiyya caste identity that is distinct from the Ezhavas, a caste group within which the nation-state subsumes them. I demonstrate that references to Malabar serve to counter the stigma that the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar experience when the spatially abstract categorization of the Thiyyas interacts with notions of caste inferiority/superiority. Further, it serves as a mobilizational tool through which they hope to negotiate with the nation-state for greater access to affirmative action. I also demonstrate that caste identification continues to be relevant to the production of place. Place-based identification of the Thiyyas influences the manner in which the group envisions the physical boundaries of Malabar and how other social groups can belong to this region. -

Tamil Nadu State
' ‘ O N I T»; Tamil Nadu State 1989-90 VA« > N®1 TAMIL NADU STATE ADMINISTRATION REPORT 1989-90 From 1st April 1989 to 31 st March 1990 © GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL NADU 1993 PRINTED BY THE DIRECTOR OF STATIONERY! AND PRINTING, MADRAS ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL NADU PREFACE This report on the Administration of the State of Tamil Nadu for the financial year 1989-90 gives a comprehensive picture of the functioning of various departments of the State Government. 2. The year 1989-90 happened to be a year of mixed fortunes with South-West Monsoon bringing more than normal rains, i.e., 341.8 mm. as against the normal of 30b.6 mm. Yet, the cultivation in the State could not attain full swing owing to the fact that the precipitation in the month of June was less than normal and storage position in the reservoirs was inadequate. The delayed opening of Mettur Dam as late as 20th August from the normal date of 12th June coupled with the receipt of only 42.6 mm. against the normal of 94-6 mm in the month of August 1989 caused and considerable loss in the'area under paddy and millets especially in delta where the farmers had to be content with one crop. Contrary to the behaviour of South-West Monsoon, the North-East Monsoon brought equitable precipitation in the southern drought-prone districts. Yet the rainfall was only 304 mm against the normal of 448 mm. However the State had produced 62.32 lakh metric tonnes of rice during the year. -
Treatment Seeking Behaviour of Tribal Population in South Kerala
PRC Report Series 2019-3 2018-19:7 Treatment seeking behaviour of Tribal population in South Kerala Dr. Oommen P.Mathew Mr. Sachin K.V Population Research Centre Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Government of India University of Kerala Thiruvananthapuram 2019 Page 1 of 77 Foreword The total Scheduled Tribe population of Kerala is 4.84 lakh which is 1.45 percent of the total population. Tribal population is concentrated in three districts of Palakkad, Idukki and Wayanad. In most of the other districts it is scattered. Upliftment of the tribal population has been an important objective since independence of both the Central and State Governments which has had its effect. Yet the development plans focused on tribals has been failing for causes unknown. The concern has been more on the success of the programmes to improve the health of the tribal population. The scattered and remote location of the tribal hamlets is believed to be one of the important reasons. On this footing the authors attempt to assess the treatment seeking behavior of the tribal population by carefully selecting the tribal hamlets located in remote locations. So the study was carried out in three districts: Thiruvananthapuram, Pathanamthitta and Idukki. Edamalakkudy from Idukki, Sayippinkuzhy colony from Pathanamthitta, Podiyam, Anakal and Pattampara from Thiruvananthapauram. I appreciate the authors of the study Dr. Oommen P Mathew, Research Investigator and Mr. Sachin K.V, Field Investigator of the PRC in successfully completing the study. The findings will definitely be of great use to Planners and Policy makers in understanding the treatment seeking behavior of tribal population in South Kerala. -
Scheduled Tribes of Kerala
Scheduled Tribes of Kerala 1. Adiyan District: Wayanad Taluka: Mananthavadi Villages or Gram Panchayats or Thirunelly, Mananthavady, Settlements: Panamaram and Pulpally Population*: 11196 Adiyan literally means ‘slave or serf’ in Malayalam. The community call themselves as ‘Ravulavar’. About 99.80% of the Adiyan population is settled in Wayanad District alone with only a few families / individuals having moved to Kottayam, Idukki, Kozhikode and Eranakulam Districts. The Adiyans are bilingual. They speak a dialect of Kannada known as ‘Adiyabhasha’. The Adiyans worked as bonded labour until the enforcement of the Abolition of Bonded Labour Act of 1976. They are now marginal agriculturists and the majority migrate to Karnataka to work as agricultural labourers. The community is divided into a number of clans called ‘Mantu’ or ‘Chemmam’ and the clan head is known as ‘Chemmakkaran’. The children take their mother’s clan. ‘Chemmakkaran’ regulates the life cycle rites of the clan. The hamlets are uniethinic and the head is known as ‘Kuntumoopan’ who settles disputes among members. The religious rites are officiated by ‘Kannaladi’. The ‘Nadumoopan’ or ‘Peruman’ controls the regional affairs of the community. ‘Gaddika’ is a famous art form of Adiyan community. 2. Aranda District: Malappuram Taluka: Nilambur Villages or Gram Panchayats or Muthedam, Vazhikkadavu, Edakkara, Settlements: Pothukallu in Nilambur Block Panchayat, Amarambalam, Karulai, Kalikavu and Chokkad in Kalikave Block Panchayat Population*: The Aranadan community resides solely in the Nilambur forests of Malappuram District. The community name is derived from two local terms,‘Aravam’ means snake and ‘Nadan’ means countrymen. Numerically one of the smaller tribal communities of Kerala, they speak a language that is a mixture of Malayalam, Tamil and Tulu.
