Book excerpt: The Anthropological Survey of India launched the People of India project on 2nd October 1985 to generate an anthropological profile of all communities of India and to highlight the impact on them of change and the development process and the links that brought them together. As part of this all-India project the ethnographic survey of Tripura was taken up for the first time. Seventy-eight communities were identified and studied. Tripura combines the ethnographic characteristics of eastern and north-eastern India. Historically it derives its identity from the Tipera or Tripuri, an ancient tribe which was part of Kirat or the Indo-Mongoloid stream. Tripura received waves of immigrants from many parts of the country. After partition, the influx of refugees from across the international border upset the demographic balance and further reduced tribals to a minority, causing enormous pressure to build up on tribal resources and sparking off tribal resistance in various forms. Remedial action followed, including the extension of the Sixth Schedule and the deepening of the concept of autonomy to include the developmental function. This book presents an ethnographic profile of all communities which made Tripura their home, of their history and migration ecology and food habits, social organization, religion, economy and occupation, and impact of change and development. Tripura is linguistically heterogeneous with as many as 23 languages being spoken. Some of the ethnographic traits of Tripura communities which stand out in relation to those of the rest of the country are: a higher degree of non-vegetarianism, a large number of middle ranking communities, clan endogamy, a higher level of participation of women in economy, gradual extension of plough cultivation and survival of shifting cultivation, the manifestations of tribal religion with a thin veneer of sanskritisation, vigorous forms of folk arts and folk traditions.

Download or read book The Greater India Experiment written by Arkotong Longkumer and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assertion that even institutions often viewed as abhorrent should be dispassionately understood motivates Arkotong Longkumer's pathbreaking ethnography of the Sangh Parivar, a family of organizations comprising the Hindu right. The Greater India Experiment counters the urge to explain away their ideas and actions as inconsequential by demonstrating their efforts to influence local politics and culture in Northeast India. Longkumer constructs a comprehensive understanding of Hindutva, an idea central to the establishment of a Hindu nation-state, by focusing on the Sangh Parivar's engagement with indigenous peoples in a region that has long resisted the "idea of India." Contextualizing their activities as a Hindutva "experiment" within the broader Indian political and cultural landscape, he ultimately paints a unique picture of the country today.

Download or read book Decolonizing Social Work written by Mel Gray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riding on the success of Indigenous Social Work Around the World, this book provides case studies to further scholarship on decolonization, a major analytical and activist paradigm among many of the world’s Indigenous Peoples, including educators, tribal leaders, activists, scholars, politicians, and citizens at the grassroots level. Decolonization seeks to weaken the effects of colonialism and create opportunities to promote traditional practices in contemporary settings. Establishing language and cultural programs; honouring land claims, teaching Indigenous history, science, and ways of knowing; self-esteem programs, celebrating ceremonies, restoring traditional parenting approaches, tribal rites of passage, traditional foods, and helping and healing using tribal approaches are central to decolonization. These insights are brought to the arena of international social work still dominated by western-based approaches. Decolonization draws attention to the effects of globalization and the universalization of education, methods of practice, and international ’development’ that fail to embrace and recognize local knowledges and methods. In this volume, Indigenous and non-Indigenous social work scholars examine local cultures, beliefs, values, and practices as central to decolonization. Supported by a growing interest in spirituality and ecological awareness in international social work, they interrogate trends, issues, and debates in Indigenous social work theory, practice methods, and education models including a section on Indigenous research approaches. The diversity of perspectives, decolonizing methodologies, and the shared struggle to provide effective professional social work interventions is reflected in the international nature of the subject matter and in the mix of contributors who write from their contexts in different countries and cultures, including Australia, Canada, Cuba, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, and the USA.
