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. -

International Journal of Research in Social Sciences Vol. 8 Issue 6, June 2018, ISSN: 2249-2496 Impact Factor: 7.081 Journal Homepage: http://www.ijmra.us, Email: [email protected] Double-Blind Peer Reviewed Refereed Open Access International Journal - Included in the International Serial Directories Indexed & Listed at: Ulrich's Periodicals Directory ©, U.S.A., Open J-Gage as well as in Cabell’s Directories of Publishing Opportunities, U.S.A Needs and Importance of Cultural Practices among tribals’ of Western odisha in Contemporary Society Joachim Dung dung Abstract: Society without culture has no meaning. Culture is the manifestation of system of activity wherein a man socializes himself through interacting with other human being. The culture and society are interdependent, though the society is spontaneously emerged in the process of social evolution. Culture is the way of life to which men acquire and assimilate the value and mode of behavior to accommodate himself to be the member of existing society. Culture differs from one society to another or one community to another. The liking and disliking of a culture depends upon generation to generation. Today’s culture may not be liked by population of next generations’. In the same way tribal culture of western Odisha is not rigid and static rather it is changing with the contemporary society, till then to preserve tribal identity few cultural practices are still pursued from their ancestors. Objectives: i. To understand the nature and extent of cultural performance among tribal of western Odisha. ii. To obtain basic ideas on the Influential factors of cultural degradation in tribal society. -
