The area of tribal concentration in India accounts for 15 per cent of the Indian geographical area and the Indian tribes present fascinating diversity with their variegated socio-economic tradition, plurality of occupation and diverse linguistic heritage. Tribal habitation has been demarcated mainly into three tribal zones i.e North Eastern, Central and Southern. The North Eastern Zone consists of sub- Himalayan region and the mountain ranges of northeastern India. The central zone consists of the plateaus and mountainous belts between Indo-Gangetic Basin in the north and the Krishna River in South. The southern Zone consists of Peninsular India south of the river Krishna. The majority of tribes are concentrated in eight states of the country, viz., Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, and Andhra Pradesh. In some of the states in the North-Eastern region like Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland the tribal population is quite preponderant, while the states of Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala have the lowest proportion of tribal population. A few tribal communities like Gonds, Bhils, Santals and Oraons etc., are in millions but some tribal communities like Onge, Andamanese and Jarawas are very few in number. It was reported that there are 64 Indian tribal communities whose population is less than 500 individuals. Most of the tribal communities live in hilly terrain and they inhabit all climatic zones. They are endogamous and they are from four ethnic stocks i.e., Proto-Austroloid, Mongoloid, Negrito and Caucasoid (Guha). A study made by the Anthropological Survey of India states that 163 tribal communities speak Indo-Aryan languages, 107 tribal communities speak Dravidian, 143 communities speak Tibeto-Burman and 30 communities speak Austro-Asiatic languages. Most of the tribal communities are bilingual and they speak the respective regional languages in addition to their own tribal 1 language/dialect. The most common form of family is nuclear family and monogamy is the predominant practice. They practice clan exogamy and few bigger tribal communities are divided into moieties and phratries and sub-tribes. The tribes occupy a significant position in India by contributing variety and richness to Indian culture. Their distinct style of life is preserved over centuries, which is in sharp contrast with the other populations of the country. The tribal communities live in forest, hills, and other isolated regions. Anthropologists and social scientists have classified Indian tribals into several categories. Vidhyarthi and Rai (1977) classified the tribes into six cultural types (1) Forest hunting (2) Primitive hill cultivation (3) Plain agriculture (4) Simple artisan (6) Cattle herders and (6)Industrial urban workers. Meghe (1979) classified the Indian tribal population into four distinct categories viz., (i) Tribals who confine themselves to original forest habitats and are still distinctive in their pattern of life. These may be termed as tribal communities. (ii) Tribals who have more or less settled down in rural areas taking to agriculture and other allied occupations. This category of people may be recognized as semi tribal communities; (iii) Tribals who have migrated to urban or semi-urban and rural areas and are engaged in occupations in industries and other vocations have adopted traits and culture of the other population of the country. (iv) Totally assimilated tribes. Land is the principle source of livelihood and the bulk of tribal population depends on agriculture as more than 80 per cent are engaged in cultivation of one form or the other. The tribal communities are endowed with craftsmanship. The primitive technology as a result of generations of isolation, ignorance, and illiteracy placed them in utter backwardness compared to the rest of the population. Nothing much was done during the British period for their welfare. Immigration of plains men into the agency area attracted by the natural resources have resulted in culture contact where by the innocent tribals because of their honesty ignorance and illiteracy became the victims of contact situations. In the earlier phase of contact, the British administrators felt that the contact situation will result in the improvement of technology of tribal communities for better utilization of the natural resource potential. However on the control the non-tribal immigration coupled with the policies of the British administrators which are beneficiary of the non-tribals has lead in 2 sever exploitation of tribal communities which resulted in the loss of control over their natural resources. Introduction of money economy in the agency areas of the country have resulted in the entry of money lenders in the area and consequence indebtedness, which ultimately paved the way for land alienation in the tribal areas and various other forms of exploitations. The money lenders, liquor venders and petty merchants and other non-tribal exploitative elements who understood the vital elements of tribal culture have employed methods to the determinant of the tribals. Nothing much was done for the tribals during the British rule except the enactment of certain protective legislation and their policy of leave them alone and the policy of isolation resulted in the utter backwardness. After independence Sri Jawayar lal Nehru the prime minister of India presented his views on tribal development which lead to the emergence of national tribal policy after independence. He advocated a policy i.e Panchasheel to guide the tribal welfare and development. The main philosophy behind is that 1. People should develop along the lines of their own genius and one should not impose anything on them. 2. Tribals rights in lands and forests should be respected. 3. We should avoid introducing to many outsiders into the tribal territory. 4. We should not over administers these areas or over well them with the multiple city of schemes. We should rather work through and not in rivalry to their own social and cultural institutions. 5. We should judge results by the quality of human character that is involved. In consonance with the Nehrue’s Philosophy, the foundation is laid on tribal policy after independence. This policy was endorsed by Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes Commission (U N Dhebar) and later by Shilu Ao Committee which supported this approach and recommended for gradual socio-economic advancement of tribals with a view to integrating them with the rest of the population within a reasonable period. Realizing the tribal situation who are

  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

  • Challenging the Devadasi System from a Framework Of
    CHALLENGING THE DEVADASI SYSTEM FROM A FRAMEWORK OF INTERSECTIONALITY A Dissertation by MRUDULA ANNE Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Jamie Callahan Committee Members, Lisa Baumgartner Dongxiao Liu Jia Wang Head of Department, Fredrick Nafukho December 2014 Major Subject: Educational Human Resource Development Copyright 2014 Mrudula Anne ABSTRACT The practice of marrying girls to deities or priests existed historically in many cultures across South Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. In India alone, this system is known by different names like Devadasi, Mathamma, Jogini, Basavis. Through this study, I represent the unheard voices of Devadasi women from South India and use HRD concepts and principles to synthesize the findings. The field of HRD is not confined to the boundaries of an organization and can play a critical role in community development. This is the first step towards empowering the members of this system and it is hoped that the findings from this study will help inform the organizational practices of NGO’s working with this populace. This study includes a unique set of participants whose experiences have not been captured and examined using intersectionality and Bourdieu, thus contributing to literature. Data was collected through interviews with Devadasi women from South India, specifically Nizamabad, Mahabubnagar, and Tirupati. Five themes emerged from the data – dichotomy, identity, status, fear and locus of control. The theme ‘status’ refers to the participant’s intersecting identities as women and as people from lower castes.
