Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology M.A in Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology KALINGA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Deemed to be University under section 3 of UGC act 1956 Department/Course Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology (THTI) Course Details 1 M.A in Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology Department of Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology (THTI) Introduction: Heritage is a fundamental source of individual and group identity, vitality, and solidarity. Heritage is a universal process by which humans maintain connections with our pasts, assert our similarities with and differences from one another, and tell our children and other young people what we think is important and deserves to be part of the future. Traditional languages were disappearing, and ancestral forms of conflict resolution within communities were disintegrating. Also, during this time, the federal government became aware of the difficulty tribal communities were having in retaining cohesion. Tribal governments as well as the federal government began investigating ways to halt degradation of traditional cultures. India has been a subject of intense interest to a wide variety of peoples from all corners of the ancient and the modern world throughout the millennia. There are many reasons for this intense and sustained interest, not least among them being the considerable prowess of the ancient Indic in matters of scholarship, relating to the exact sciences. The Indian university system of the ancient era was world renowned and attracted student from a wide variety of countries. Tribal Indology is to the academic study of the history, languages, and cultures of the tribal in Indian subcontinent. Strictly speaking it encompasses the study of the languages, scripts of all of Asia that was influenced by Indic culture. The number of tribal museums in India increases every year. Currently, there are over one hundred numbers of tribal museums and cultural centers in India. Since, traditional forms of tribal heritage transmitters are decreasing under the pressures of industrialization, poverty, and the more dominant Hindu society, the presence of these museums is critical to the perpetuation of heritage in many tribal communities in India and particularly in Odisha. Everything which the ancestors bequeath may be called heritage: landscapes, structures, objects, traditions. Humans have understood the concept of heritage ever since they developed artefacts and language of tribal communities while Tribal Indology is to the academic study of the history, languages, and cultures of the tribes in Indian. Objectives: The course “Tribal heritage and tribal indology will provide enough knowledge regarding various tribal cultures. It enables students to understand and explore the theoretical and practical dimensions of cultural heritage of tribals. The broader objectives of the discipline will be: 2 M.A in Tribal Heritage and Tribal Indology Tribal Heritage is a universal process by which tribal maintain connections with pasts and assert their similarities with and differences from one another, and tell their children and other young people what they think is important and deserves to be part of the future. Traditional tribal languages were disappearing, and ancestral forms of conflict resolution within communities were disintegrating while to preserve and promote the tribal heritage and culture. The course is always carried out to be of benefit to the people who undertake the study and there is little or no benefit to the subject of the study who may end up sacrificing his life for the ’cause’. To study the relation of tribal culture with modern and ancient culture. To provide awareness campaign programmes regarding environment. Outcomes Tribal people also discriminate between things which are worth inheriting and passing on and other things which they will prefer to forget. They may decide to preserve only structures considered grand or beautiful, or traditions and legends which are inspiring or useful. A constant process of selection is under way, both conscious and unconscious, as each generation will decides which elements of its inheritance to keep and which to throw away.

  • Wilson Brought out a New Edition of Mill's History of British India, in Which He Footnoted What He Thought to Be Mill's Errors
    HORACE HAYMAN WILSON AND GAMESMANSHIP IN INDOLOGY NATALIE P. R. SIRKIN SHORTLY AFTER THE DEATH OF JAMES MILL) HORACE HAYMAN Wilson brought out a new edition of Mill's History of British India, In which he footnoted what he thought to be Mill's errors. Review­ ing these events in a recent survey of nineteenth-century Indian historians, Professor C. H. Philips comments: It is incredible that he should not have chosen to write a new history altogether, but possibly his training as a Sanskritist, which had accustomed him to the method of interpreting a text in this way, had something to do with his choice.' But why? Professor Philips might as well have asked why he did not write his own books on Hindoo law and on Muslim law instead of bringing out a new edition of Macnaghten; or why he did not collect his own proverbs, instead of editing the Hindoostanee and Persian proverbs of Captain Roebuck and Dr. Hunter; or why he did not write his own book on travels in the Himalayas, instead of editing Moorcroft's; or why he did not write his own book on Sankhya philosophy, instead of editing H. T. Colebrooke's : or why he hid not write his own book 011 archaeology in Afghanistan, instead of using Masson's materials.. To suggest Mr. Wilson might have written his OWll History of British India is to suggest that' he was a scholar and that he was interested in the subject. As to the latter, he never wrote again on the subject. As to the former, his education had not prepared him for it, Educated (as the Dictionary of National Biography reports) "in Soho Square," he then .apprenticed himself in a London .hos­ pital and proceeded to Calcutta as a surgeon for the East India Company.

When describing the carved artworks of the Aboriginal people of the Arctic regions, the anthropologist Edmund Snow Carpenter once observed: “A distinctive mark of the traditional art is that many of the ivory carvings, generally of sea mammals, won’t stand up, but roll clumsily about. Each lacks a single, favored point of view, hence, a base. Indeed, they aren’t intended to be set in place and viewed, but rather to be worn or handled, turned this way and that. The carver himself explains his effort as a token of thanks for food or services received from the animal’s spirit” (16). Much like the individual artworks displayed in Upside Down: Arctic Realities, the exhibition itself could be seen as a composite phenomenon that is best approached from multiple perspectives at once and “turned this way and that.” In its creative conflations and inversions of Paleolithic and modern motifs, the show simultaneously cultivated the perspectives of ethnographic anthropology and contemporary art criticism, with their attendant conceptions of distanced criticality and aesthetic proximity.

    Founders of Western Indology: August Wilhelm von Schlegel and Henry Thomas Colebrooke in correspondence 1820–1837. By Rosane Rocher & Ludo Rocher. (= Abhandlungen für die Kunde des Morgenlandes, 84.) Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 2013, xv + 205 pp. ISBN 978-3-447-06878-9. €48 (PB). Reviewed by Leonid Kulikov (Universiteit Gent) The present volume contains more than fifty letters written by two great scholars active in the first decades of western Indology, the German philologist and linguist August Wilhelm von Schlegel (1767–1789) and the British Indologist Henry Thomas Colebrooke (1765–1837). It can be considered, in a sense, as a sequel (or, rather, as an epistolary appendix) to the monograph dedicated to H. T. Colebrooke that was published by the editors one year before (Rocher & Rocher 2012). The value of this epistolary heritage left by the two great scholars for the his- tory of humanities is made clear by the editors, who explain in their Introduction (p. 1): The ways in which these two men, dissimilar in personal circumstances and pro- fessions, temperament and education, as well as in focus and goals, consulted with one another illuminate the conditions and challenges that presided over the founding of western Indology as a scholarly discipline and as a part of a program of education. The book opens with a short Preface that delineates the aim of this publica- tion and provides necessary information about the archival sources. An extensive Introduction (1–21) offers short biographies of the two scholars, focusing, in particular, on the rise of their interest in classical Indian studies. The authors show that, quite amazingly, in spite of their very different biographical and educational backgrounds (Colebrooke never attended school and universi- ty in Europe, learning Sanskrit from traditional Indian scholars, while Schlegel obtained classical university education), both of them shared an inexhaustible interest in classical India, which arose, for both of them, due to quite fortuitous circumstances.

INDEX PEOPLE OF A WEEK AND WALDEN: HORACE HAYMAN WILSON A WEEK: A Hindoo sage said, “As a dancer, having exhibited herself PEOPLE OF to the spectator, desists from the dance, so does Nature desist, A WEEK having manifested herself to soul —. Nothing, in my opinion, is more gentle than Nature; once aware of having been seen, she does not again expose herself to the gaze of soul.” HORACE HAYMAN WILSON HENRY THOMAS COLEBROOK WALDEN: Children, who play life, discern its true law and PEOPLE OF relations more clearly than men, who fail to live it worthily, WALDEN but who think that they are wiser by experience, that is, by failure. I have read in a Hindoo book, that “there was a king’s son, who, being expelled in infancy from his native city, was brought up by a forester, and, growing up to maturity in that state imagined himself to belong to the barbarous race with which he lived. One of his father’s ministers having discovered him, revealed to him what he was, and the misconception of his character was removed, and he knew himself to be a prince. So soul,” continues the Hindoo philosopher, “from the circumstances in which it is placed, mistakes its own character, until the truth is revealed to it by some holy teacher, and then it knows itself to be Brahme.” I perceive that we inhabitants of New England live this mean life that we do because our vision does not penetrate the surface of things.

The scholar, used to formulating order, may sometimes try to find it where it cannot be found. He may be tempted to cry eureka even when he is all at sea.

DisappointingBy KitI am a mythology nut, so when I saw this book I was very excited to read it. However, that all changed as when I purchased it, I found out that not only was it frighteningly small, but more than half of the book was blank. At first I thought there was just a fluke in printing, but I got ahold of another buyer who told me that his book was in the same condition.

The Guardian at the Gates of HellBy UnclepeacockCerberus (Greek mythology) is best known as the guardian to the gates of Hades (the Underworld).His sole task is essentially be the "bouncer" of Hades. As the rules go, only the dead may enter the Underworld, and none may leave.There are only a couple of myths in Greek mythology where a hero gets the better of Cerberus. The first is when Orpheus (Greek mythology), the famed musician, sneaks into Hades by lulling the usually unstoppable Cerberus to sleep with his beautiful music.This is a short but comprehensive book on a fascinating subject.
