Village industries and handlooms were well integrated into the rural economy and the whole organisation was a part and parcel of socio-cultural fabric of the society. The social traditions, ethos and values were reflected in the handloom products. The handloom products, which have survived against the competition from machine made cloth, represent the rich artistic traditions of our country. Globalised economy has contributed to the ever-increasing competition among the developing nations.

  • Odisha As a Multicultural State: from Multiculturalism to Politics of Sub-Regionalism
    Afro Asian Journal of Social Sciences Volume VII, No II. Quarter II 2016 ISSN: 2229 – 5313 ODISHA AS A MULTICULTURAL STATE: FROM MULTICULTURALISM TO POLITICS OF SUB-REGIONALISM Artatrana Gochhayat Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, under West Bengal State University, Barasat, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT The state of Odisha has been shaped by a unique geography, different cultural patterns from neighboring states, and a predominant Jagannath culture along with a number of castes, tribes, religions, languages and regional disparity which shows the multicultural nature of the state. But the regional disparities in terms of economic and political development pose a grave challenge to the state politics in Odisha. Thus, multiculturalism in Odisha can be defined as the territorial division of the state into different sub-regions and in terms of regionalism and sub- regional identity. The paper attempts to assess Odisha as a multicultural state by highlighting its cultural diversity and tries to establish the idea that multiculturalism is manifested in sub- regionalism. Bringing out the major areas of sub-regional disparity that lead to secessionist movement and the response of state government to it, the paper concludes with some suggestive measures. INTRODUCTION The concept of multiculturalism has attracted immense attention of the academicians as well as researchers in present times for the fact that it not only involves the question of citizenship, justice, recognition, identities and group differentiated rights of cultural disadvantaged minorities, it also offers solutions to the challenges arising from the diverse cultural groups. It endorses the idea of difference and heterogeneity which is manifested in the cultural diversity.

  • BOITA BANDANA UTSHAVA and BALI YATRA in ODISHA Colonel JC Mahanti (Retired) 25Thnovember 2015'
    BOITA BANDANA UTSHAVA AND BALI YATRA IN ODISHA Colonel JC Mahanti (Retired) 25thNovember 2015' Boita bandana utshava and Bali yatra are two important annual events held on the Kartika purnima. They mark the conclusion of all religious activities of Kartika month which is considered as the most holy month of the lunar year. Both are the reminiscent of maritime trade that once flourished in the State. Boita bandana utshava is a socio-religious festival whereas, Bali yatra is a large trade fair. Boita bandana utshava: -Boita in local language is an argosy or a large sail boat and bandana is worshipping with lighted lamp (dipa). Thus, Boita bandana utshava symbolises the festival of worship of sail boats with lighted lamps. It is to commemorate the maritime trade of the people of ancient Odisha (Kalinga). Centuries back, the sadabha (maritime traders) of the State used to sail off to distant Indonesian archipelagos (Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Bali) for trade and cultural exchange in boitas. Those days, the marine engineering had not developed as it is now. The boitas used to navigate with the manipulations of ajhala (large fabric sails) fixed on their masts in the direction of the wind. During the lunar months Aswina to Margasira (October to December), the sea was generally tranquil and the wind blew in the north-easterly direction. Again from lunar months Pausa to Baisakha (January to March) the wind blew in the reverse direction and those were the times for their return voyage. Thereafter, the sea became turbulent due to the onset of south eastern monsoon and the voyages were suspended.
