Introduction India is a country of many ethnic groups, over 1,650 spoken languages, dialects, regional variations—a land of myriad tongues—numerous modes of apparel and countless mannerisms. For the most part, the continental size of the country accounts for the variations and diversities. Besides, there are many religions, sects and beliefs. At times the wide differences seem to predominate, and the resultant disharmony is regarded by many as irremediable, a phenomenon that the 100 crore people (ours is the second most populous country) have to live with, whether they like it or not. The cynics even regard the Indian people as quarrelsome, often at each other’s throat, denouncing others as if they were inveterate enemies holding irreconcilable ideas and subscribing to ideals totally different from theirs. But those who stick to this impression ignore a vital factor there is a basic unity which runs through the Indian mainstream of life and thought. There is a traditional culture which is truly oriental and which conforms to the teachings and precepts of our saints and sages. Culture and civilisation are admittedly difficult to define, though both these signify certain identifiable trends and traits of character, especially restraint, consideration for others and a high degree of tolerance. The lack of culture becomes evident even from the language and the dialect one uses, the conduct and manner of living, one’s gestures in social life, the tendency to have a closed mind, with doors and windows shut as if to disallow the inflow of fresh ideas and other viewpoints. Every process of exclusion betrays lack of culture, just as every trend indicating a willingness to broaden one’s outlook shows a commendable cultural trait. The same idea is often put in different words: static culture envisages decay, just as dynamism ensures survival. It is the dynamism and the flexibility that have enabled Indian culture to survive despite its many diversities and heavy odds. Through these diversities runs a common stream, as it were, and the LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY 1 Social Structure and Social Change Notes similarity and unity of outlook can be noticed from North to South and East to West. Indian culture is actually a continuous synthesis, and has absorbed many external influences in the course of history. A significant recognition of the fusion of cultural trends comes through the Constitution (Article 51-A), which says, interalia, that it shall be the duty of every citizen of India to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture. Among the other Fundamental Duties mentioned in that Article is “to promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India, transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional diversities, to renounce practices derogatory to women...” All these are indicative of cultural development. Calm reflection will show that attempts to enforce complete unity and disallow any differences of thought and approach in a large country like India would prove counter-productive and self-defeating. People can hold different views on life, religion, social, economic and political systems and yet they can be cultured. Who, can deny that the people of India have throughout history honoured saints, sages, religious preachers and philosophers, seldom showing veneration for military heroes, triumphant warriors and commanders, except transitory praise and adulation. Those who have fought for cultural freedoms and political independence, which ensures such freedom and the implicit liberties to pursue cultural pursuits, have commanded large and loyal following. Had it not been for the tolerance shown by the people of India during the rule of the Mughals and other outsiders, who brought in their own traditions and sought to impose them on this country, the amorphous, flexible Indian culture would have lost its moorings. The Indian mind has assimilated much of the thinking of other cultures, thus enriching itself and making itself durable and virtually indestructible. The Western concepts and modes of dress, the English language, the study of English classics and European philosophers’ works, even though they emphasised thoughts and beliefs different from those of the Indian people, have not been spurned. Rather, a good part of these has become almost a part of the Indian way of living and thinking, especially in the urban areas. The English-knowing elite exist alongside the Indian language enthusiasts, without tensions. The Western culture has always laid stress on materialism, while the Eastern, especially Indian, culture has been closely linked with spiritualism, simplicity, filial duty and affection, austerity, tolerance and harmony. Both are tolerated in this country. It is, however, a pity that in recent years the communal clashes, the increasing evidence of intolerance and disharmony, the apparently endless discord, the open clashes at public meetings, and the all-too-frequent denunciation of each other have increased so much as to indicate that the people are forgetting their, true culture, and are allowing themselves to be exploited by selfish, uncultured people who seek to disrupt and destroy rather than build and consolidate. The real strength of Indian culture lies in basic unity, vigour and the ability to contain an amazing diversity within itself. In this country there are people who belong to opposite schools of thought and who never seem to agree on anything. And yet, the concepts of one basic culture and one nation have continued. Another notable characteristic of Indian culture is that it

They are located between 11030' and 220N latitude and 76050' and 86030' E longitude in a North-East to South-West strike. It covers total area of around 75,000 sq. km. Eastern Ghats are often referred to as “Estuaries of India”, because of high rainfall and fertile land that results into better crops1. Eastern Ghat area is falling under tropical monsoon climate receiving rainfall from both southwest monsoon and northeast retreating monsoon. The northern portion of the Ghats receives rainfall from 1000 mm to 1600 mm annually indicating sub-humid climate. The Southern part of Ghats receives 600 mm to 1000 mm rainfall exhibiting semi arid climate2. The Eastern Ghats is distributed mainly in four States, namely, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The part of Eastern Ghats found in the Odisha covers 18 districts, Andhra Pradesh 15 districts and Tamil Nadu in 9 districts while Karnataka Eastern Ghats falls in part of Chamrajnagar and Kolar3. Most of the tribal population in the State is concentrated in the Eastern Ghats of high attitude zone. The traditional occupations of the tribes vary from area to area depending on topography, availability of forests, land, water etc. for e.g. Chenchus tribes of interior forests of Nallamalai Hills gather minor forest produce and sell it in market for livelihood while Konda Reddy, Khond, Porja and Savara living on hill slopes pursue slash and burn technique for cultivation on hill slopes. The Malis of Visakhapatnam (Araku) Agency area are expert vegetable growers.

Many of whom are largely isolated from India’s mainstream society and culture. Among these tribes lodhas are one of the major primitive groups in West Bengal and Odisha. Recent decades witnessed a surge of interest in the development of quality of life, subjective wellbeing of these tribal peoples. Considering the importance of subjective well-being which is a major parameter of development the present study intends to measure the subjective well-being of tribes and non- tribes. In the present study 60 participants are selected from Suljapada block of Mayurbhanj District. Out of 60 participants 30 were tribes and 30 were non-tribes. Both the groups were administered subjective well-being inventory. The study adopted a t-test to compare the two groups. From the study it was found that there exists a significant difference between tribes and non-tribes. Keywords: Tribes and Non-Tribes, Subjective Well-being. Now a day, many tribes are largely isolated from India’s mainstream and also society and culture. Some tribes are more backward than the others such as low level of literacy, poverty, economic backwardness and face various health problems etc. They do not possess conducive social and economic conditions for better education.

College,Baiganbadia, Mayurbhanj, Odisha. email: [email protected] Keyword: Bathudi tribe, Ethnohistory, Mayurbhanj, Odisha, The Bathudi tribe is only found in India in the state of Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar and West Bengal. They live in the State of Odisha in the district of Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar and Balasore. They are only found in large numbers in the district of Mayurbhanj. They are largely concentrated in Panchpir subdivision. They are not less in numbers in Baripada, Kaptipada and Bamanghaty subdivision. The origin of the Bathudi tribe is in dark due to lack of historical evidence. The name Bathudi is derived from the term ‘Barthali’. ‘Bar’ means twelve and ‘Thali’ means land or place. 2 The alternative names of this tribe are Bahutali, Bathuhuli, Bathdi and Bathuri. There is a tradition among the Bathudis that they originally belonged to a place called Batuligarh in Ayodhya from where they migrated following the course of Godavari river in the Deccan. From the point of the geographical position of Ayodhya, their story of migration to the Deccan is not believable. But the other part of the story which has mentioned that the Bathudis first came to the Similipal hills in course of their migration to the Mayurbhanj State.
