Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview
Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview Tamil Nadu is bordered by Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Sri Lanka, which has a significant Tamil minority, lies off the southeast coast. Tamil Nadu, with its traceable history of continuous human habitation since pre-historic times has cultural traditions amongst the oldest in the world. Colonised by the East India Company, Tamil Nadu was eventually incorporated into the Madras Presidency. After the independence of India, the state of Tamil Nadu was created in 1969 based on linguistic boundaries. The politics of Tamil Nadu has been dominated by DMK and AIADMK, which are the products of the Dravidian movement that demanded concessions for the 'Dravidian' population of Tamil Nadu. Lying on a low plain along the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, Anai Malai hills and Palakkad (Palghat Gap) on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and the Gulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as Kaveri, Palar and Vaigai and by the northeast monsoon. Traditionally an agricultural state, Tamil Nadu is a leading producer of agricultural products. Tribal Population As per 2001 census, out of the total state population of 62,405,679, the population of Scheduled Castes is 11,857,504 and that of Scheduled Tribes is 651,321. This constitutes 19% and 1.04% of the total population respectively.1 Further, the literacy level of the Adi Dravidar is only 63.19% and that of Tribal is 41.53%. -
Socio-Economic Characteristics of Tribal Communities That Call Themselves Hindu
Socio-economic Characteristics of Tribal Communities That Call Themselves Hindu Vinay Kumar Srivastava Religious and Development Research Programme Working Paper Series Indian Institute of Dalit Studies New Delhi 2010 Foreword Development has for long been viewed as an attractive and inevitable way forward by most countries of the Third World. As it was initially theorised, development and modernisation were multifaceted processes that were to help the “underdeveloped” economies to take-off and eventually become like “developed” nations of the West. Processes like industrialisation, urbanisation and secularisation were to inevitably go together if economic growth had to happen and the “traditional” societies to get out of their communitarian consciousness, which presumably helped in sustaining the vicious circles of poverty and deprivation. Tradition and traditional belief systems, emanating from past history or religious ideologies, were invariably “irrational” and thus needed to be changed or privatised. Developed democratic regimes were founded on the idea of a rational individual citizen and a secular public sphere. Such evolutionist theories of social change have slowly lost their appeal. It is now widely recognised that religion and cultural traditions do not simply disappear from public life. They are also not merely sources of conservation and stability. At times they could also become forces of disruption and change. The symbolic resources of religion, for example, are available not only to those in power, but also to the weak, who sometimes deploy them in their struggles for a secure and dignified life, which in turn could subvert the traditional or establish structures of authority. Communitarian identities could be a source of security and sustenance for individuals. -

MESSAGE The Kerala State Biodiversity Board in association with the Biodiversity Management Committees - which exist in all Panchayats, Municipalities and Corporations in the State - had conducted a rapid Impact Assessment of floods and landslides on the State’s biodiversity, following the natural disaster of 2018. This assessment has laid the foundation for a recovery and ecosystem based rejuvenation process at the local level. Subsequently, as a follow up, Universities and R&D institutions have conducted 28 studies on areas requiring attention, with an emphasis on riverine rejuvenation. I am happy to note that a compilation of the key outcomes are being published. -

ABSTRACT Kurumbas are a recognised scheduled tribe in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. They are one of the earliest known inhabitants of the Western Ghats, collecting and harvesting forest produce, primarily wild honey and wax. They have traditionally subsisted as hunters and gatherers. They live in jungles on the plateau's steep edge, where they conduct shifting agriculture as well as feeding and catching tiny birds and animals. Historically, the Kurumbas and other tribes have enjoyed a cooperative relationship that includes the trading of commodities and services. Members of this group are short, have a dark complexion and prominent brows of their community practise Hinduism and speak a language that is Original Article a hybrid of Dravidian dialects.

The Blue Mountains were most likely named for the abundant blue strobilanthes flowers that bloomed in the area's foggy atmosphere. The indigenous tribal peoples of the Toda, Kota, Kurumbas, and Irula have long lived in this area. -
A Sociolinguistic Survey of Nilgiri Irula
DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2018-010 A Sociolinguistic Survey of Nilgiri Irula Researched and compiled by Sylvia Ernest, Clare O’Leary, and Juliana Kelsall A Sociolinguistic Survey of Nilgiri Irula Researched and compiled by Sylvia Ernest, Clare O’Leary, and Juliana Kelsall SIL International® 2018 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2018-010, October 2018 © 2018 SIL International® All rights reserved Data and materials collected by researchers in an era before documentation of permission was standardized may be included in this publication. SIL makes diligent efforts to identify and acknowledge sources and to obtain appropriate permissions wherever possible, acting in good faith and on the best information available at the time of publication Abstract The purpose of this sociolinguistic survey of three Nilgiri Irula [iru] speech varieties (Mele Nadu, Vette Kada, and Northern) was to provide an initial assessment of the viability of vernacular literature development. The fieldwork was conducted during the latter half of 1992 and the early part of 1993. The original report was written as an unpublished paper that was completed in mid-1993. The research instruments used for this survey were wordlists, Recorded Text Testing (RTT), sociolinguistic questionaires, and a Tamil Sentence Repetition Test (SRT) that was developed during the course of the fieldwork. SRT results indicated that more than half of Irula speakers, especially those living in more remote villages, would probably have difficulty using complex written materials in Tamil. Questionaire results indicated that Irula is a vital language and is being maintained consistently within the Irula community. RTT results, along with dialect attitudes and reported contact patterns, tentatively pointed to Mele Nadu Irula as the preferred form for language development and literacy materials. -

Religious Practices Amongst Adolescents: a Human Geographical Research with the Kurumbas Tribe Atvelarikombai, Western Ghats, India

D. Scholar Dept. of Social Work PSG College of Arts & Science Coimbatore India- 641014 2Associate Prof.& Head,Dept. of Social Work, PSG College of Arts & Science Abstract: Religion is a collection of systems like values, principals, beliefs, etc. which makes human beings focus on their spiritual and moral life. Numerous religions have their individual sanctified places and divine books. The eventual motives behind all these faiths are to make human beings as holy beings and prepare them for the everlasting life after death. An adolescent, in the open-minded period, is a product of enhancement and culture in all magnitudes. A huge change around the sphere due to modernization has fetched in number of hitches for the adolescents of new generation to get along the religious life. In this case, many children turn out to be an atheist or losing interest to get along with the religion and its practices. This gentle fabrication of religious life is outlined in this current study among the adolescents existing in Velarikombai of Western Ghats, India. Keywords- Religion, Adolescents, Kurumbas, Western Ghats. I. Introduction The word adolescence has arisen from the Latin verb “Adolescere” which means “to rise”. It is a switch over phase from juvenile to adulthood. Adolescence not only fetches transformation in the body but also in the knowledgeable formula. -
