I tell you Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." other qualities in David's life that we have In the verse following He gives them another seen so far. He is a man who does not fail to example regarding Lazarus who was sick. give praise to God and exalt his name. Jesus said in Jn. 11: 4, "This sickness is not David's Psalms speak to our hearts to unto death, but for the glory of God, that the encourage, comfort, strengthen, enlighten us Son of God might be glorified." Again, Jesus and they also reveal God's love, care and saw a man who was blind from birth and His protection for us. Secondly, we see David as disciples asked Him whether this was another human being who could fall just like because of his sin or his parents' sins. Here any other person. Thirdly, David was a man is what Jesus said, in Jn. 9: 3, "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the who acknowledges his sin and repents. When works of God should be made manifest in we repent of our sins, God forgives. There him." Yes, even when we pass through were consequences for David's action, but difficult times, we still have a joy and peace even more than that, could be the personal that the world cannot give and others who anxiety, worry and sorrow that these incidents see us may learn from it and give God the caused. glory. SATHTHIYA VAARTHAI 1 FEBRUARY 2020 Remember also that Satan was able to Just as prophet Nathan was associated withstand the angel Gabriel till Michael the with David in his younger days, prophet Gad arch-angel came to his aid. Paul declares that was involved at this time in David's life as "we wrestle not against flesh and blood but God was displeased with what David did. against principalities and powers and against Now David felt guilty about what he did. The the rulers of the darkness of this world and passage says that, "David's heart smote him against spiritual wickedness in high places." after he had numbered the people."

No wonder when Lord Jesus taught the Lord's prayer He said, "lead us not into Here is a great lesson to learn.

    The Cultural Construction and Healing Practices of the Paniya Tribe in Kerala, India

    International Journal of Applied Social Science RESEARCH ARTICLE Volume 5 (11), November (2018) : 2007-2012 ISSN : 2394-1405 Received : 25.09.2018; Revised : 10.10.2018; Accepted : 26.10.2018 The cultural construction and healing practices of the Paniya Tribe in Kerala, India SUDHEESH M. VINCENT Research Scholar Kannur University, Kunnur (Kerala) India ABSTRACT The culture of every tribe denotes its collective behaviour, set of beliefs, values and the way of doing things. One of the most quoted definitions of culture given by Edward Burnett Tylor (1871/2010) is “Culture or Civilization, taken in its wide ethnographic sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society” (p. 1). Such a cultural complex whole of a tribe may include its own beliefs about illnesses and their healing and the adoption of divergent methods to cure cultural wounds inflicted upon them. This paper analyses the cultural construction of the cultural group of the Paniya Tribe living mainly in the hills of Wayanad in Kerala, India. The paper also attempts to demonstrate the healing practices of this community in facing cultural issues. Key Words : Cultural construction, Paniya tribe, Caste, Race, Cultural wounds, Healing practices INTRODUCTION The Paniya community in Wayanad is an indigenous group of tribals who reside mainly in forest lands. Traditionally the Paniyas were hunter-gatherers and nomads who move from one forest to another in search of food. But in the later phases of their history the tribe was given the status of the labour caste.

    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.
