This intersubjective document of culture, performance and development of the Adivasi Kurumbas of Attapady is at one and the same time a document of human barbarism and oppression. The attempt made in the following chapters, sums up the action-oriented creative research discourse on the primordial kurumba socio-cultural dynamics. The performative analysis is duly substantiated by video-documentation of the process of research. What has become obvious, ultimately, is the fast pace of fragmentation of the outer and inner self of the 1612 kurumbas who have become the tragic victims of development that takes place within the world -renowned Kerala Model of social transformation. The Adivasi Kurumbas inform us: If you want to participate in the burial rites of the kurumbas, take any route, starting from any place. Come at any time or at any season. It makes no difference to the burial. Only thing you should do is to put off reason and logic. Because you are here not to verify or submit a report on us. But be careful: "What the dead had no speech for when living, they can tell you being buried: the voice of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living". And these fragments of kurumba reality and unreality 'tongued with fire', I have shored from the forests of Adivasi ruins in Attapady. Dr. Ramachandran Mokeri (LOC: KRP 97/pp155) Asst. Director Calicut University School of Drama and Fine Arts Date:12-10-00 Calicut University, 680 618, Kerala. 5 Chapter One THE DESIGN OF DISCOURSE 1.1. EPIGRAPH : THE IDEOGRAM OF THE KURUMBA IN THE PARROT’S BODY Years ago, a sorcerer of the Kurumba tribe used to come daily to the villages of the Kotas, kill the Kota men, and sleep with all the beautiful women. The Kotas talked about it to each other a lot and wanted to find a way of killing him off. As he had done similar things to the neighbouring Toda tribesmen, the Kotas and the Todas also talked to each other and came to a decision, “Let’s hide near the path at the edge of the forest, waylay that black Kurumba, and cut him to pieces,” they said. And so they did. When the Kurumba came walking that way, they jumped on him cut off his arms and legs, and threw them in all directions. But as they were happily returning, telling each other how good it was to kill the evil sorcerer, the arms and legs they had thrown about suddenly came together and that black Kurumba was right in front of them, standing in their path, laughing his head off. He said, “Hey, you Kotas, you Todas, so you killed me, did you? Look, I‘ve come back. You useless fellows, you think you can kill me like that?” The Kotas and the Todas were dumbstruck at this miracle and said, “Look at this wonder! What can we do against such a man?” Then in great fear they went home to their villages. Within weeks, many good men among the Kotas and the Todas died and their wives became wailing widows. The villages were filled with the sound of lamentation. The Kurumba was pleased with himself. “I took my revenge, a head for a head!” he said to himself and laughed with great satisfaction. He came every day to the village, pronounced his charms from a distant field, and whatever woman he thought to would come to him of her own accord, alone, and give herself to him. But, as they say, the sorcerer’s wife knows more than the sorcerer. So it was with that black Kurumba’s wife. She changed herself into a kite and came flying over all the seven villages of the Kotas. She too had her charms, which she would utter: then all the strong handsome men would come by themselves, sleep with her, and go home by evening. She took the men, and her husband, the black Kurumba, took the women. The villagers said “One day his downfall will come” And it did. One day, he was sitting under a hill-guava tree, eating his fill of the fruit. A parrot sat on one of the branches, lamenting and screaming in great sorrow. The Kurumba understood the language of birds. So he asked, “Hey, parrot, why are you crying so much? The parrot said, “What can I say? My husband, who was life of my life, died today. I’m heartbroken and I can’t stop crying. Who will end my grief? 6 The black Kurumba’s heart melted with pity for her and he wanted to comfort her somehow. So he himself entered into the body of the parrot that had died. In an instant, the parrot came alive and flew with a whirr to his wife. The parrot wife was happy and kissed the male parrot and said, “You tricked me. You wanted to test me. You pretended to be dead and made me cry and watched me, didn’t you? You males cannot be trusted. You don’t have hearts like us”. Then they flew around each other, and the female suddenly saw the Kurumba’s body lying dead under the tree. The dead man’s mouth was open; his arms and legs were stretched straight out. She said, “Poor man. Only a few minutes ago, he was talking to me. He took pity on my grief. I must do something in return”. Then she took a leaf of the tree and prayed to God, saying, “If I’m a true parrot, please grant me of the tree and prayed to God, saying, “If I’m a true parrot, please grant me a boon. Just as I wept for my mate, this man’s wife must be weeping her hear out for him somewhere.

    Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview

    Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview Tamil Nadu is bordered by Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Sri Lanka, which has a significant Tamil minority, lies off the southeast coast. Tamil Nadu, with its traceable history of continuous human habitation since pre-historic times has cultural traditions amongst the oldest in the world. Colonised by the East India Company, Tamil Nadu was eventually incorporated into the Madras Presidency. After the independence of India, the state of Tamil Nadu was created in 1969 based on linguistic boundaries. The politics of Tamil Nadu has been dominated by DMK and AIADMK, which are the products of the Dravidian movement that demanded concessions for the 'Dravidian' population of Tamil Nadu. Lying on a low plain along the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, Anai Malai hills and Palakkad (Palghat Gap) on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and the Gulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as Kaveri, Palar and Vaigai and by the northeast monsoon. Traditionally an agricultural state, Tamil Nadu is a leading producer of agricultural products. Tribal Population As per 2001 census, out of the total state population of 62,405,679, the population of Scheduled Castes is 11,857,504 and that of Scheduled Tribes is 651,321. This constitutes 19% and 1.04% of the total population respectively.1 Further, the literacy level of the Adi Dravidar is only 63.19% and that of Tribal is 41.53%.

    Socio-Economic Characteristics of Tribal Communities That Call Themselves Hindu

    Socio-economic Characteristics of Tribal Communities That Call Themselves Hindu Vinay Kumar Srivastava Religious and Development Research Programme Working Paper Series Indian Institute of Dalit Studies New Delhi 2010 Foreword Development has for long been viewed as an attractive and inevitable way forward by most countries of the Third World. As it was initially theorised, development and modernisation were multifaceted processes that were to help the “underdeveloped” economies to take-off and eventually become like “developed” nations of the West. Processes like industrialisation, urbanisation and secularisation were to inevitably go together if economic growth had to happen and the “traditional” societies to get out of their communitarian consciousness, which presumably helped in sustaining the vicious circles of poverty and deprivation. Tradition and traditional belief systems, emanating from past history or religious ideologies, were invariably “irrational” and thus needed to be changed or privatised. Developed democratic regimes were founded on the idea of a rational individual citizen and a secular public sphere. Such evolutionist theories of social change have slowly lost their appeal. It is now widely recognised that religion and cultural traditions do not simply disappear from public life. They are also not merely sources of conservation and stability. At times they could also become forces of disruption and change. The symbolic resources of religion, for example, are available not only to those in power, but also to the weak, who sometimes deploy them in their struggles for a secure and dignified life, which in turn could subvert the traditional or establish structures of authority. Communitarian identities could be a source of security and sustenance for individuals.

ABSTRACT Kurumbas are a recognised scheduled tribe in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. They are one of the earliest known inhabitants of the Western Ghats, collecting and harvesting forest produce, primarily wild honey and wax. They have traditionally subsisted as hunters and gatherers. They live in jungles on the plateau's steep edge, where they conduct shifting agriculture as well as feeding and catching tiny birds and animals. Historically, the Kurumbas and other tribes have enjoyed a cooperative relationship that includes the trading of commodities and services.

The Blue Mountains were most likely named for the abundant blue strobilanthes flowers that bloomed in the area's foggy atmosphere. The indigenous tribal peoples of the Toda, Kota, Kurumbas, and Irula have long lived in this area.

SIL makes diligent efforts to identify and acknowledge sources and to obtain appropriate permissions wherever possible, acting in good faith and on the best information available at the time of publication Abstract The purpose of this sociolinguistic survey of three Nilgiri Irula [iru] speech varieties (Mele Nadu, Vette Kada, and Northern) was to provide an initial assessment of the viability of vernacular literature development. The fieldwork was conducted during the latter half of 1992 and the early part of 1993. The original report was written as an unpublished paper that was completed in mid-1993. The research instruments used for this survey were wordlists, Recorded Text Testing (RTT), sociolinguistic questionaires, and a Tamil Sentence Repetition Test (SRT) that was developed during the course of the fieldwork. SRT results indicated that more than half of Irula speakers, especially those living in more remote villages, would probably have difficulty using complex written materials in Tamil. Questionaire results indicated that Irula is a vital language and is being maintained consistently within the Irula community. RTT results, along with dialect attitudes and reported contact patterns, tentatively pointed to Mele Nadu Irula as the preferred form for language development and literacy materials.
