Selected teohnioal vooabulary 99 B i hliography 104 PREFACE The printing of this contribution to the ethnography of Chamba is made possible by the courtesy of the Census Commissioner of Himachal Pradesh, Shri R. C. Pal Singh to 'whom I am greatly indebted for his kindness and courtesy during my second visit to Brahmaur in 1963. I also wish to thank the District Forest Commissioner, Shri Hem. Raj 'who gave me information concerning the operation of the local forest office, lI'hich must always be the key government department in this area. I wish to thank various Gaddi and Brahmin informants especially Dr. B. C. Chowhan and Shri Nanak Chand with whom I lived in Goshen and to thank the villagers of Goshen, who never failed to answer my questions in spite of their totally unfounded suspicions that I was an agent of the Central Government at Delhi. During my second visit to the area I '\Tas accompanied by a graduate student of the Department of Sociology of the University of Delhi, Shri Appa R::lO, now an employee of All-India Radio. He greatly assisted me especially in crc:lting good relations with Brahmins, and 'was mainly responsible for the supplementary in­ formation on Sere village. Coming from South India, he was able to see features of Sanscritic culture which I had tended to underemphasize. Although this is an ethnographic report, I have perhaps included an exces­ sive amount of descriptive m.aterial even when I could not completely under­ stand the background of the information. To those readers to whom this is of no interest I would especially advise the omission of those sections dealing with the marriage ritual. It is hoped that within the next few years I will be able to write a more theoretical \\-'ork dealing' with some of the underlying changes in this area between 1951 and 1963 and between castes. I have accordingly not tried to reconcile discrepancies which occurred between the original descrip­ tion in the 1904 Chamba gazetteer and the variations between different castes in ritual. The process of conformity to an all-India pattern is proceeding apace. AnOl.her field in which change is proceeding rapidly is in respect to the pattern of inheritance which has been radically modified between 1951, when I first visited the area, and 1962 when I returned. In 1953 a (yet unpublished) Settlement was carried out. Also during this period many of the village heads had lost their power on account of age and the new village leaders were contem.­ poraries of mine during my first visit so that I was able to treat them as equals on my return. I was thus able to notice the change in attitude between gene­ lations of those OCCll pying the .'i£lmC positions. I would have been unable to '\Tite this report without taking into considera­ tion thE general direction in 'which Caddi society is moving especially with respect to caste. As a result of new opportunities for nuking v,:ealth, the tendenc;' for such groups as Rajput, Brahmin or Rana to become more caste conscious is almost inevitable and it is hoped in a subsequent publication to show that the whole of the Ravi valley is changing in accordance with a long term pattern. The effect of new opportunities is to speed up processes already present rather than to change the direction in which the Gaddis ,,,"ere moving. In this connection I hope the reader will cLefully bear in mind that I have used the term caste not as an historical term bn t as an intermarrying endogamous group. The detailed justification for this use of the word "caste" "will have to wait until the census material for the whole valley has been re-assessed. Although I first visited the Gaddis in 1951 and have subsequently under­ taken fIeld studies in Malaya and Japan, my special interest in the Gaddis has never lapsed. The reason I have hesitated so long to rush into print is my belief that we have here an extremely sensitive and religious people whose simplicity conceals an extrclnely deep national character. Since I have only spent a year in the field in total, I hope such shortcomings as this preliminary SUlTCY will }"eveal will be ascribed to the shortcomings of the ethnographer rather than to the people themselves.

  • Editor's Note
    channeling news from high altitude Himalayan wetlands EDITOR’S NOTE Dear Reader, Conservation teaches us new lessons everyday. Apart from opening our minds to novel and innovative solutions engineered to protect and conserve our ecosystems, it also humbles us by demonstrating the true, and often, immeasurable value of these ecosystems. But perhaps, one of the biggest lessons we have learnt is that conservation is not the privilege of a chosen few. It is a passion and a life skill which unites diverse groups of people, irrespective of their education, culture or nationality, resulting in productive partnerships. Such has been revealed to us through our regional efforts in conserving high altitude wetlands in the Himalayas. The ‘Saving Wetlands Sky-High!’ project has been a journey of discovering new conservation partners and of revelling in team-work. INSIDE Through this issue of ‘Himalayan Highlights’, we bring you stories of some of our Feature Story new and vibrant partners. We have found them in monasteries, at polo matches, Communities adopt their Wetlands on religious pilgrimages and in research institutions. We have found them in the Making a Difference young and in the old, in students and in preachers, in governments and in the Sporting Conservation people. We have found them in Pakistan, India, China, Nepal and Bhutan. But A Journey to New Learning most importantly, we have found them in the Himalayas. Gosaikunda breathes after Janaipoornima Cleanliness next to Godliness Read on to learn how the Himalayas and its ecosystems have inspired people to Strengthening through Science work together and have motivated them to make a difference.

  • Revisiting the Timeless Folklore of Chamba
    MEJO, Vol. 5, Feb. 2021 Revisiting the Timeless Folklore of Chamba Dr. Kuldeep R. Sharma Asst. Professor, Department of English, Govt. Degree College Bhalei, Chamba, H.P. Abstract Folklore reflects human experiences by and large through folk songs and dances, art and architecture, legends, paintings, poetry, riddles and children’s songs etc. The permanence of the Folklore of any country, community or tribe can be analyzed in its universal themes of love, hate, revenge, morality, ethics, sacrifice and honesty with respect to conditioning of time and space. Folklore of District Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, is a phenomenal amalgamation of the vernaculars: Pangwali, Gaddi, Dogri, Pahari and Churahi that weave human experiences to form a phenomenally different fabric of culture and history in the country. The paper discusses the intensity of passionate love, cult of human sacrifice, gender, environmental concerns and other social and cultural dimensions in the selected legends and folk songs of Chamba accentuating its timelessness. The famous legends and perennial folksongs and ballads, particularly Kunju Chanchlo, Sunni Bhunku, Queen Sunaina, and Fulmo Ranjho would be the centre of deliberation. The paper on the one hand brings out the permanence and universality of Chambiali folklore in shaping and protecting the history and cultural identity of the natives and the need of its exploration and maintenance in globalised world on the other. Chamba is hemmed in by Jammu and Kashmir, including Ladakh, on the North West, by district Kangra of Himachal Pradesh on the southeast , and by Gurdaspur district of Punjab on the south. Because of its altitude, ranging from 2,000 to 21,000 feet above sea level and physical inaccessibility with difficult terrain, the territory remained largely insulated from the socio- political life of the country.
