Download or read book Ethnomedicinal Matrix written by Pulucheru Vishnu Dev and published by Educreation Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While examining the relationship between health, culture and medicine in post-colonial India, the dominant perspective in sociological and anthropological literature conceptualizes medicine and culture as autonomous domains and views the relationship between the two in oppositional terms where culture (lay persons' beliefs and practices) is seen largely as impeding the progress of biomedicine (allopathic, modern medicine). In this conceptual scheme, all medical knowledge systems other than biomedicine is denied any valid medical status, clubbed as culture devoid of any cognitive content, and is seen as coterminous with religion and superstition. This perspective largely ignores the ground reality of the existence of ethno-medicine among Tribal communities. Tribal contributed tremendously to the development of indigenous medical systems in India. However, their contributions have not been documented and studied properly. This book makes a modest attempt to bridge this gap and offers a platform for debate and discussion towards safeguarding and development of Tribal medicine in India.

Download or read book Hunter gatherers in North and Central India written by Malti Nagar and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2008 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively documents the hunting-gathering way of life in India from the Lower Palaeolithic to the present, based on the author's field work in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh and archaeological and ethnographic evidence from these regions. India has a history of nomadic hunting-gathering back to the Lower Palaeolithic period. The Mesolithic period witnessed significant improvement in technology based on the mass production of bladelets and their conversion into microliths used spearheads, arrowheads, knives, daggers, harpoons, etc. Paintings found in caves and rock shelters complement the picture known from excavation. Settled life based on agriculture and copper technology appeared around 6000 years ago. However, farmers did not give up hunting-gathering altogether and continued to practise it in some measure. Even after the appearance of iron technology hunting continued to be practised, and indeed it has survived right into the twenty-first century among many communities all over the country.
