  • 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.

  • 15.05.15 Sugar and Spice and All That's Nice I Like Sugar in My Mug Of
    15.05.15 Sugar and spice and all that’s nice I like sugar in my mug of coffee. I can’t bear the thought of drinking the brew unsweetened. Hence, I am always on the lookout for natural sugars to use in place of the refined ones. I usually use jaggery in my coffee. But recently, my mother came across an interesting alternative. She promptly delivered the find to my home. It was in a neat pouch made of rough brown paper and that appealed to my sense of eco awareness. It had the words ‘Coconut Blossom Sugar’ printed on it. I have heard of this sugar, but I was under the impression that it was a sweetener and not a natural sugar. The suggestions of use on the package were intriguing and I decided to try it out. It resembles the Demerara sugar closely in colour and coarseness. The taste of it by itself is very clean and fresh, with an unmistakable sweetness of the elaneer. It is not overpoweringly sweet and when I added a little of it to my cold coffee, it tasted good. I noticed that it was free flowing and did not clump. To my knowledge, the coconut blossom sugar is obtained from the sap of the coconut flower. A cut is made at the base of the flower for and the sap that oozes out is collected, allowed to evaporate and the residue from that is the natural sugar. This is the technique followed in many parts of the world. However, at Farm Made, in Palladam, they do it differently.
