  • Marginalisation, Revolt and Adaptation: on Changing the Mayamara Tradition*

    Marginalisation, Revolt and Adaptation: on Changing the Mayamara Tradition*

    Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics 15 (1): 85–102 DOI: 10.2478/jef-2021-0006 MARGINALISATION, REVOLT AND ADAPTATION: ON CHANGING THE MAYAMARA TRADITION* BABURAM SAIKIA PhD Student Department of Estonian and Comparative Folklore University of Tartu Ülikooli 16, 51003, Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Assam is a land of complex history and folklore situated in North East India where religious beliefs, both institutional and vernacular, are part and parcel of lived folk cultures. Amid the domination and growth of Goddess worshiping cults (sakta) in Assam, the sattra unit of religious and socio-cultural institutions came into being as a result of the neo-Vaishnava movement led by Sankaradeva (1449–1568) and his chief disciple Madhavadeva (1489–1596). Kalasamhati is one among the four basic religious sects of the sattras, spread mainly among the subdued communi- ties in Assam. Mayamara could be considered a subsect under Kalasamhati. Ani- ruddhadeva (1553–1626) preached the Mayamara doctrine among his devotees on the north bank of the Brahmaputra river. Later his inclusive religious behaviour and magical skill influenced many locals to convert to the Mayamara faith. Ritu- alistic features are a very significant part of Mayamara devotee’s lives. Among the locals there are some narrative variations and disputes about stories and terminol- ogies of the tradition. Adaptations of religious elements in their faith from Indig- enous sources have led to the question of their recognition in the mainstream neo- Vaishnava order. In the context of Mayamara tradition, the connection between folklore and history is very much intertwined. Therefore, this paper focuses on marginalisation, revolt in the community and narrative interpretation on the basis of folkloristic and historical groundings.

Silchar, 788001 ABSTRACT Border trade is an overland trade operated by the way of exchange of certain commodities by the people living along both sides of the international border. It differs from trade carried through air, land and sea ports. Since North- Eastern states of India shares land borders with the countries of Bhutan, Tibet, China, Bangladesh, Myanmar, the Bodo tribes inhabiting the northern foothill regions of Assam and Bengal have maintained border trade relations with the Bhutia (Bhootea) tribes of Bhutan hills and the western Arunachal Pradesh hills since long time. Through the hill tribes, their trade was further extended to the Tibetans and the Chinese traders. This article thus intends to explore how Bodo tribes carried out border trade with Bhutia tribes of Bhutan during colonial times, and also to examine how far it contributed to the growth of their economy.

Assam has the largest number of weavers in the country and weaving is the only source of livelihood for these people. Though Assam silk is renowned worldwide for its uniqueness, in the present market scenario, the demand has decreased due to various reasons. This paper tries to explore the various socio-economic issues and problems faced by the silkworm sector and the community attached to this sector in Assam. Key words: Eri, Muga, Paat, Globalisation, Identity, Silk loom, Silkworms, Weavers ‘Assamese women weave fairy tales in their clothes’ - Mahatma Gandhi Introduction The art of sericulture and silk weaving has a long history in the world. As far as evidence goes, silk culture seems to have originated in China. The Chinese historians trace back the use of the product of the silk worm to the period of the myths. From China as a centre, the sector is said to have radiated to other parts of the world including India via Tibet by about 140 B.C.

    An Introduction to the Sattra Culture of Assam: Belief, Change in Tradition

    Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics 12 (2): 21–47 DOI: 10.2478/jef-2018-0009 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SATTRA CULT URE OF ASSAM: BELIEF, CHANGE IN TRADITION AND CURRENT ENTANGLEMENT BABURAM SAIKIA PhD Student Department of Estonian and Comparative Folklore University of Tartu Ülikooli 16, 51003 Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In 16th-century Assam, Srimanta Sankaradeva (1449–1568) introduced a move- ment known as eka sarana nama dharma – a religion devoted to one God (Vishnu or Krishna). The focus of the movement was to introduce a new form of Vaishnava doctrine, dedicated to the reformation of society and to the abolition of practices such as animal sacrifice, goddess worship, and discrimination based on caste or religion. A new institutional order was conceptualised by Sankaradeva at that time for the betterment of human wellbeing, which was given shape by his chief dis- ciple Madhavadeva. This came to be known as Sattra, a monastery-like religious and socio-cultural institution. Several Sattras were established by the disciples of Sankaradeva following his demise. Even though all Sattras derive from the broad tradition of Sankaradeva’s ideology, there is nevertheless some theological seg- mentation among different sects, and the manner of performing rituals differs from Sattra to Sattra. In this paper, my aim is to discuss the origin and subsequent transformations of Sattra as an institution. The article will also reflect upon the implication of traditions and of the process of traditionalisation in the context of Sattra culture. I will examine the power relations in Sattras: the influence of exter- nal forces and the support of locals to the Sattra authorities.
