Abstract:

There are diverse perspectives involved in studying the tribal issues particularly in Indian context. One shall assume that it is extremely difficult to understand the various perspectives of tribal studies. Despite shortcomings of its own, anthropological perspective provides base to the tribal studies. Therefore, it shall be considered as the parent perspective since it is the oldest and broader one.It is clearly understood that there is still a need for systematic approach in tribal studies owing to shortcomings in the existing methods and practices involved in tribal studies.

Abstract:

A Millet Processing Centre for processing of minor millets in a tribal village in Tamil Nadu, has been established with the following millet processing machinery viz., Destoner, Millet Mill, Grain Polisher, Pulveriser, Flour Sifter and Packaging Machinery for enhancement of tribal livelihood. Performance studies on the machinery for processing minor millets viz., little millet, foxtail millet and finger millet grown in the tribal area were carried out. Based on the performance evaluation, the output capacity of destoner cum cleaner was found to be 230 kg/h and 233 kg/h for little and foxtail millet respectively with a cleaning efficiency of 89 and 90% respectively for the above millets. The performance of millet mill revealed that the output capacity was 90-92 kg/h for little and foxtail millet with a dehulling efficiency of 86 and 87% respectively with small percentage of brokens (< 5 %). The capacity of grain polisher was 60-61 kg/h with a polishing efficiency of 85% & 86% respectively for little and foxtail millet. The pulveriser was evaluated for finger millet flour making whereby the output capacity of the machine was 75 kg/h with a milling efficiency of 90% respectively. The cost economics revealed that the tribal farmers could save 85% of the processing cost. The benefit cost ratio was found to be 2.05.The total profit to the tribal Society through Millet Processing Centre was Rs. 21,000/- during the first harvesting season of millets. The above studies have paved way for satisfactory functioning of the Millet Processing Centre in the tribal area.

Abstract:

Hypertension is an important worldwide public-health challenge and it is accountable for 7% of Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY) loss, and by the end of 2025 about 29% of world’s population is likely to suffer from hypertension. Tribal population constitute about 8% of the total population in India. Among tribal population, study on hypertension will provide an interesting outcome because studies across the world have shown a lower prevalence. The objective of the study was to estimate the pooled prevalence of hypertension among adult tribal populations in India and also to analyse the possible sources of heterogeneity in the estimate. A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus, Embase MEDLINE, and journals for articles published between 2001 and 2020. This is a systematic review and meta-analysis done on hypertension among tribal populations of India. Three authors independently reviewed the articles, performed quality assessment and data was extracted. Pooled estimate of hypertension was calculated. Subgroup analyses was performed. A total of 26 articles with a total number of subjects of 75,543 were included in the study. The pooled estimate of hypertension prevalence was 25.1% (95% CI: 24.7, 25.4). There was significant heterogeneity among the studies (I2 = 98.2 and Q = 1289.37). It is essential to conduct larger cohort studies and randomised controlled trials to determine the causes of the increased prevalence of hypertension among the tribal population. The prevalence of hypertension among tribal population are essential as a source of primary information and for rational planning of health services and will help public-health policy-makers to assign sufficient priority and resources for its management and prevention.

Abstract:

The most common wild animals observed during the field study were 17 species of fishes, 13 species of Amphibians, 23 species of reptiles, 26 species of birds and 35 species of mammals. Endangered and vulnerable species of Pisces, Amphibians, Reptilians and Mammals have been marked. Deforestation, shifting cultivation, forest fires, grazing, tribal hunting, biotic interference, natural calamities, hemp plant cultivation by tribals, stone collection and firewood business most often cause environmental crisis upholding the signs of stress in Phulbani Forest. The current rate deterioration demands conservation strategies by in-situ and ex-situ conservation.

Abstract:

The status of tribal women has been like a moving equilibrium at various times and in various parts of the globe. It has sometimes been liberal and other times of constraint and subordination. With regard to India, gradual variations are marked in the works of vedic, puranic medieval and modem age writers. The (constitution of India guarantees several rights to Scheduled Tribes including women. Various studies on the South Indian tribals have always been ignored tribal women though they continue to constitute half of the tribal population. Predominantly, the male bias remained largely unrestricted as such studies were by a large, carried out by the males. The latter extracted information from male respondents, as the women were comparatively difficult to approach due to their inherent reluctance for the purpose.1 Hence, the world’s view of tribal women, regarding their own position in society, could not be put forth. Women have been playing a significant role in the society and culture and will continue to do the same in future. Even when the intimate relation of man and women is accepted and women have been occupying a very prominent status in the social milieu, the treatment of men and women has been differentiated in social structure as well as social organization.

Abstract:

This paper explores the roots of the term ‘Subaltern’. The form of literature is backed by the history from time to time. The participation of the tribes in revolutions against the then ruling agencies escapes from the history proper. The unwritten languages of the tribes are posing a challenge. They are undermined. The 80 languages have not been brought to the pages of constitution of India. A language spoken by 10, 000 people have to be recognized as a language. There is a dire necessity of the study of folklore. In the multicultural society there is a need for projecting the life-s style and culture of the tribal population. The human rights speak volumes of betterment and welfare of the tribals on the norms of equality, fraternity and liberty. The evaluation of Subaltern studies has been traced right from the past to the present context in the paper to the extent possible. Mahasveta Devi’s visison is presented along with illustrations of her reasoning. The need for emergence of trends is emphasized in view of the humanitarian outlooks. The Telangana and Andhra Pradesh states are taken up for tracing the subaltern element with a few episodes emanating from history and folklore. Thus the retrospects and the prospects gauged in the paper will justify the Subaltern Studies.

Abstract:

Human beings all around the world are leading their life with certain rules and restrictions. Many characteristics can be found among this group. They follow good moral principles in their life. The reasons for such living are obvious. Many legal principles and moral concepts were followed by them such as family life, productivity, worship, fasting and cleanliness. Systematic studies about the tribal people of Kumari district have been going on since the arrival of Europeans. Many studies have been conducted based on the life style of tribal people. The studies help us to know the reason why they are living as a tribal people in forest areas and reason behind it. The article explores the lifestyle and the moral principles of tribal people in Kanyakumari district.

Abstract:

The reader does not need to have copious concepts to grasp the tribal problems. It is about the land issue and the debate over how it arose and persisted; it exposes the problems in tribal societies.The central and state governments have the actual power to ensure tribal development. Furthermore, the land rights and protection problems are under the government's commitment to provide legal safeguards. However, neither the federal government nor state or local governments have exhibited much interest in the land troubles that tribal communities face. The paper focuses on tribal land issues and debates in the Bodoland Territorial Region of Assam. In the region, 97.88 per cent of the tribal people live in rural households and face uncertainty. The findings show that tribal people consider the government process insecure and intended to safeguard tribal members while ensuring the secure use of land in the region.

Abstract:

“When we began our conversations in 1988, we had no idea of the vision we would see or the call to which we would eventually respond. Our purpose, then, was simply to meet in order to discuss how we could work together as scholars, and especially as young African American men, who found ourselves in the academy, far away from our communities of origin. During the course of many conversations, we hit upon the theme, as if inspired, of ‘writing our way back home.’ ‘Home’ became a metaphor for our deepest yearning to return … to the psychological, emotional, and spiritual heritage of our African American presence within a predominantly Euro-American environment. I remember well the day we made that collective affirmation in my apartment. We did not know at the time that we were soon to discover that our ancestors were listening in on our conversations.”

Abstract:

The educational video game, When Rivers Were Trails, was launched in 2019. The purpose of the game is to teach players about Indigenous perspectives of history, US federal allotment policies affecting tribal nations, and some of the effects of these policies on Indigenous peoples. This article explores tribal college student experiences playing When Rivers Were Trails in hopes that it provides the basis for further research into how tribal college faculty may be able to teach the game within their own classrooms. Tribal colleges and universities were created by tribal nations to provide for the higher education needs of their citizens. Using phenomenological research methods, seven college students volunteered to participate in a brief study about their experiences playing the video game. Upon transcription and analysis of the interview data, three themes were developed that capture how these students define their experience with When Rivers Were Trails: feelings of representation, histories of land dispossession, and resilience of communities.

Abstract:

This study presents the role of co-operative Societies in general and a specific study on Karnataka. The Large Sized Agricultural Multi-purpose Co-operative Societies (LAMPS) are organised at the village level to meet the credit and other requirements of the tribal people. Tribal beneficiaries are the members LAMP Societies and they have benefited almost all the integrated services offered by the LAMPS for their economic upliftment. This study highlights the history, trends and growth of cooperatives. It also highlights the national policies, problems and suggests measures for the existence and viability of co-operative institutions, designed specifically for the welfare of the common man in general and for upliftment of tribes and weaker sections of the society in particular. The important aspect of examining the cause and effects of tribal economy has not been covered in any of the abovementioned studies. It is found from the review of literature that only a few researchers has studied the role of tribal co-operatives and their cause and effects on economic development of tribes. This study is an empirical and field based, interview techniques are used for the collection of required data on the problem from the sample tribal respondents. The present study is also an attempt to go into the problems and prospects of co-operatives for the upliftment of tribals of Karnataka.

Abstract:

Ethnomuseology is an interdisciplinary concept that mainly incorporates the Museum Studies and Ethnography / Anthropology with varieties of ethnic arts / artifacts. Ethnographical Museums all over world are the result of specialized field of Ethnomuseography. Since the initial stage and even till today Socio-Cultural Anthropologists are playing significant role to enrich the field of Ethnomuseography and contributing to the development of ethnographical museums in India and abroad. The present paper discusses about ethnographic museums in relation to tribal heritage of India in the wave of modernization and globalization. Most of the Ethnographic collections or cultural heritages are still prevalent in the form of living traditions. But, many of them are gradually lost or vanishing with time in the changing scenario due to cultural change. It is high time to preserve it by ethnomuseographical means. An attempt has also been made to discuss the ways through which such ethnographic museums are growing in India and abroad. In case of ethnographic museums especially community museums and tribal museums; Action Museology deals with the various aspects of tribal cultural sustainability and act as a key explanation to preserve and propagate the tribal cultural heritage.

Abstract:

Better health is one of the most important aspect of the overall development and progress of any country. In the context of India, tribals are an integral part, which are 8.6 percent of the total population of the country. Scarce public health care services in India and related issues are currently the most discussed topic with recent outbreak of Covid-19 affecting human life terribly and still persisting. Health care issue affects every individual in the society. In tribal areas health care issues become even more important because as it seems that this section of society is still comparatively in unprivileged condition and not properly exploited the benefits of development process.India's development cannot be imagined without improvement of rural and tribal health. This article highlights major issues prevailing in the rural tribal health care system of India, which arises many barriers to tribal health and the holistic development of the country. Based on the blending results of several multi-factual studies, it is known that there exist many issues prevailingin the rural tribal health care delivery system. Many issues are there which are responsible for poor and complex tribal health status among the tribes, such as, low awareness about health, different religious and cultural beliefs, unrealistic health practices, living in difficult and inaccessible areas, financial problems, various infectious diseases, nutritional deficiencies, and poor public health care facilities, etc. These issues have attracted renewed attention from physicians, health policy experts, various health agencies as well as the general public, particularly tribal societies, which are most affected by these issues. Keywords: Health Status; Health Infrastructure; Rural Health Care Services; Tribal Culture And Practices; Health Policy; Public Involvement And Awareness.

Abstract:

This paper attempts to elucidate various social adjustment problems faced by tribal students while migrating to cities away from their native state for the first time for higher education. Through this study, the researchers envisage comprehending the social adjustment problems of tribal students while being confronted by the changes due to a non-native urban environment. The adjustment problems range from adapting to non-native culture to acquiring workable knowledge in the vernacular. Indeed, it is time-consuming and can be strenuous for many. Here, an attempt is made to assess the social integration problems among tribal educational migrants qualitatively. The researchers have adopted a case study approach in this social investigation. Tribal students enrolled in Pondicherry University from states other than Puducherry were chosen for this study. Twelve cases were selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved in-depth interviews based on an expressly designed interview guide. Thematic analysis of the transcripts yielded a catalogue of highlighted themes that helped arrive at a few conclusions. The researchers made recommendations based on the knowledge generated and recognized the scope for further investigation.

Abstract:

Business anthropology has emerged recently as a professional sub-field that joins together several streams of literature related to multiple dimensions of the business enterprise. A consumer is the one who pays something to consume goods and services produced. As such, consumers play a vital role in the economic system of a nation. The aims and objectives to be considered are as follows; to identifying cultural and socio-economic determinants which affect the buying behavior of rural and tribal consumers in the backward and tribal villages of India, to explore the awareness regarding legal provisions of the consumer rights among the rural and tribal consumers in backward and tribal villages of India and to investigate the incidents of violation and exploitation of the consumer rights of the rural and tribal consumers in backward and tribal villages of India. The paramount fact is that, we have the huge scarcity of the research work related to the consumer behavior, in the terms of business anthropological perspectives, especially on the tribal consumer behavior. One of the prime objectives of these kinds of studies is to investigate the impact of demonetization on the rural and tribal production, trade and markets. Apart from these there are no studies on the impact of demonetization on the tribes of India. Above mentioned facts have proved that that there is a big gap in the field of rural and tribal consumer behavior study, especially in the terms of business anthropology. Therefore, there is urgent need to conduct such type of study. The comprehensive analysis of the primary data which will collect from tribal and rural areas; will form a basis for recommendation and policy measures with consideration of the cultural, socio-economical and local particularities. The finding of the study would highlight various dimensions of problems encountered by rural and tribal consumers in terms of violation of their rights and exploitation through chain of disbursement of goods and services.

Abstract:

Traditional knowledge on plant has a long-standing history in many indigenous communities, and continues to provide useful tools for treating various diseases. Tribal communities living in biodiversity rich areas possess a wealth of knowledge on the utilization and conservation of food and medicinal plants. They are well versed in the usage of plant for treating various diseases. The present study carryout by survey method aimed to identifying the plants used for the general health of the tribal communities such as Kadar, Muthuvar and Malai Malasars of Western Ghats region. Ethno medicinal information was gathered throughquestionnaire from the majority of tribal people of Valparai hills Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. All the traditional and other knowledge related to the collection and consumption of the medicinal plants, their environment on which communities depends was documented. The present study observed that, the tribal peoples from valparai having knowledge of 29 species on the traditional medicine. These tribes are one of the major conservators of environments. Their traditional knowledge can be utilized for the breeding technology of variety of threatened species and develop for the biodiversity conservation as well as for pharmacological research in various dimensions.

Abstract:

The apparent lack of consistency in Jacob’s blessings in Gen. 49, ranging from temporal irregularity to variations in genre and message have lead many scholars to suggest that the chapter should not be viewed as Jacob’s blessings but rather as a compilation of tribal sayings. This article aims to support the structural unity of Gen. 49 by accessing the blessings’ collective theme. The military orientation common to the animal metaphors in Gen. 49 provides a preliminary basis for presuming that the tribal blessings also share a common theme. A careful reading of the blessings points to their innovative role in dividing the responsibilities and privileges traditionally associated with the birthright. Jacob’s blessings split the conventional leadership role associated with the patriarchal birthright into two subdivisions, the monarchic and the priestly, and position each of the tribal blessings within either the monarchic or the priestly blessing cluster. The perplexing prayer which interrupts the blessings emerges as the pivot around which the two blessing constellations revolve.

Abstract:

Livelihood resources are varying from one region to another due to natural and human factors. There are no such studies that consider a broad geographical region and tribal livelihood options and livelihood security. So the present study can fulfil such a literature gap. The present study makes an attempt to analyse livelihood options and livelihood security among the tribals. The study was carried out along the south western plateau and highland region in West Bengal. Secondary data and the primary data have been used. Purposive stratified random sampling technique was used to collect the primary data. Sustainable livelihood framework (SLF) has been used for the selection of factors and indicators. The core outcome of the research is that small landholding size and traditional technology are no longer to meet the rising demands of tribal population. Forest resources are also very rapidly declining due to the huge industrial demands and ever-increasing household needs. Now tribal people are travelling long distances to collect forest products than ever before. The better education opportunities to the younger generation could open up new occupational opportunities and economic diversification and that definitely leads to the good economic status of the tribal people.

Introduction. Retail settings are major channels for the tobacco industry to market commercial tobacco products. However, few studies have examined marketing strategies on Tribal lands. The resulting evidence is important, especially given that American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth and adults have the highest smoking prevalence of any racial/ethnic group in the United States. In this study, we examined cigarette, e-cigarette, and vape/vaporizer availability, advertising, and price-reducing promotions in retail settings on and within a 1-mile radius of Tribal lands in California. Method. Trained AI/AN community health representatives (n = 8) conducted store observations (n = 96) using a checklist adapted from the Standardized Tobacco Assessment for Retail Settings observation tool. Chi-square analyses were performed to look for potential differences in availability, exterior advertising, and price promotions for cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and vapes between stores. Results. All stores sold cigarettes and over 95% sold menthol cigarettes. Nearly 25% of stores on Tribal lands were located inside a casino, and 40.4% of stores on Tribal lands offered a Tribal member discount. Stores within a 1-mile radius of Tribal lands sold significantly (p < .01) more e-cigarettes (69.8%), including flavored e-cigarettes (53.4%), compared to stores on Tribal lands (37.7% and 28.3%, respectively). Price promotions for cigarettes were significantly (p < .01) more common in stores located within a 1-mile radius of Tribal lands (46.5%) than stores on Tribal lands (22.6%). Discussion. To our knowledge, this study is the first to use store observations to examine cigarette and e-cigarette availability, advertising, and price promotions in retail settings on and near California Tribal lands. We recommend future studies build on our initial efforts to take an AI/AN Tribal community-engaged approach in assessing and documenting tobacco marketing practices on and near Tribal lands. Tribal governments can consider tobacco policies to help reduce smoking disparities and advance health equity for their communities.

Abstract:

The nature endowed with hidden resources of biodiversity comprises of various flora and fauna. The indigenous knowledge about the ethnobotanicals is vital for the conservation of traditional medicine as well as for future research. The documentation of indigenous medicine through botanical studies is also one of the aspects of the conservation and utilization of biodiversity. Kerala has many diverse ethnic tribal communities, and they are still following the traditional system of healing with the help of various biological resources. Each tribal communities have different lifestyles, and they are distributed in the various parts of Kerala. The tribals possess a traditional knowledge of uses of medicinal plants and employ different plants for curing diseases and infections. But, this valuable information is not documented properly. The tribal communities, along with their knowledge, have been diminishing due to the vanishing of forests as well as rapid modernization. But, the proper documentation and utilization of indigenous knowledge of tribes about the diverse medicinal plants will be useful for the development of novel drugs. Hence, we have attempted for the documentation of valuable tribal knowledge on medicinal plants, which would potentially serve as a useful reference for future researches. This article provides the list of plants used by the selected primitive tribal group of Kerala such as Kani, and Kurichiyar to treat various diseases.

Abstract:

An ethnomedicinal survey was carried out in tribal communities of Eastern Ghats of Vizianagaram district with an aim to document the information regarding indigenous medicinal plant species used in the treatment of various diseases. The study area is inhabited by several tribal groups: Jatapus, Kondadoras, Mukadoras, Mannedoras, Yerukulas, Goudus, Gadabas and Savara, and their population is 2.14 lakhs as per 2011 census. The present paper deals with about 336 medicinal plant species of 269 genera belonging to 99 families. These have been recorded and are used by the 8 tribal groups to cure over 250 ailments. Plant species like Chrysanthemum indicum, Jasminum angustifolium, Nerium odorum and Tagetes erecta were used not only for ornamental purposes but also as ethnomedicinal plants to cure Sexually transmitted diseases like Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Skin diseases like Ringworm (Fungal disease), Leprosy (Bacterial disease) and Rheumatism. Catharanthus roseus flowers paste has good control over insect and scorpion bites. This survey provides some information to biochemists and pharmacologists in screening of ethnomedicinal plants and in rapidly assessing of phytoconstituents for the treatment of various diseases.

Abstract:

Based on social identity theory (SIT) and risk perception theory, this study examines the ways in which North Sinai youth’s tribal and national identities are affected by television (TV) exposure, risk perception, and TV bias perception. The findings from a survey of youth in North Sinai demonstrate a significant relationship between exposure to Egyptian TV and tribal identity. Moreover, TV bias perception predicts youth’s tribal identity and risk perception. The study concludes that TV exposure does not affect Sinai youth’s national identity and risk perception, but increases tribal identity.

Abstract:

Following public debate on the dissonance between tribal traditions of self-governance and modern formal institutions in December 1996, Parliament extended the Panchayat Act to the areas covered by Schedule V of the Constitution. In many parts of India this has facilitated tribal women's legal right to participate in NRM. This paper describes the particular situation in north-eastern India, which is a region of great biogeographic and strategic significance. In the north-east existing customary practices (backed by special Constitutional arrangements or the provisions of Schedule VI) continue to deny tribal women ownership and significant control over local resources. With particular reference to Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram, the paper argues for a reappraisal by tribal women and men of the sharply gender-biased customary practices and constitutional provisions in order to draw out women's power and strengthen their capacity to shape local resource management.

Abstract:

Abstract Many studies show that cultural perspective is an important factor in caring for elderly tribal adults. To understand the level of attention that the Cultural Health Station of Indigenous People attaches to culture during its operation, this study selected Taitung County as the region of study. A qualitative focus group research method and quantitative questionnaire, we try to understand “What are the demands of elderly tribal adults?” “Do services provided by the Tribal Cultural Health Station satisfy the demands of elderly tribal adults?” and “What are the gaps between the service demands and provided to elderly tribal adults?” The results showed that service providers believe that culture is markedly important to elderly tribal adults, that culture-based care designs offered by the Tribal Cultural Health Station is currently insufficient, and that to enhance the capacity of the multiethnic Tribal Cultural Health Station, the cognition and understanding of policy makers and enforcers must be elevated.

Abstract:

The complicated process of the Pashtun tribes’ conversion to Islam is indirectly reflected in tribal genealogies, which bear traces of artificial Islamification. Recorded in the early 17th century, these genealogies are poorly consistent with apocryphal Hadiths and hagiographies intended to prove that Pashtuns had steadily adhered to Sunni Islam since the times of the Prophet Muḥammad. The politicised concept of the primordial adherence of Pashtuns to Islam was likely to have been released for wide circulation during the reign of the Lodī sultans in the late 15th century. By the mid-17th century, it became an integral part of Pashtun ethnic identity. However, written sources in Pashto and Persian dating from the same period and originating from tribal areas are unanimous in describing Pashtuns’ religious beliefs and practices as a motley assemblage of Pīrī-murīdī and Pīrparastī customs conforming to the tribalistic ideology of a segmentary Islamic society. More sophisticated forms of Pashtuns’ tribal Islam emerged with the progress of literature in the native vernacular.

Abstract:

The article explores the socio-economic and nutritional status of tribal married women in East Singhbum district, Jharkhand, by using mixed methods of enquiry. Dietary and anthropometric methods of nutritional assessment were supported by qualitative data. It was found that the most potent reason for undernourishment among tribal women is household food insecurity and low calorific intake. To enhance the nutritional status of tribal women, it is suggested that the issue of malnutrition be addressed with a life cycle approach, along with sustained behaviour change communication with the help of public–private partnerships and the efficient implementation of existing and new programmes to increase purchasing power and food security.

Abstract:

While going through the ethno-botanical information so far available in the various literature from India, it has been found that there is a wealth of information on wild plants in Indian ancient literature. However, they have yet not received the due attention concerning the data on the useful plants of India as has been accumulated since over 100 years by now. It is pity that the recent publications on ethno botany have shown utter ignorance on the literature published since 1840s to 1950, which has documented substantial information on the useful wild plants of India. Unmindful of the past work, these have been redocumented by the ethno biologists during last 40 years. In the present communication the author has stressed the need for careful scrutiny of literature published earlier while documenting ethnobotanical information. Besides, the methodology involved in the preparation of each product should also be essentially recorded not only for the benefit of the society but also for the adaptation of suitable measures for their sustainable utilization towards the socioeconomic upliftment of the tribal and rural people. It is hoped that the observations given in this paper are made for the betterment of the entire nation including that of tribal communities.

Abstract:

Fertility has declined in India during the last few decades because of socio-economic development. Women’s empowerment has been identified as an important determinant for demographic change. Tribals in India have relatively high fertility because of their traditional socio-cultural practices and poor economic condition. This study aims to examine the role of women’s empowerment on fertility behaviour by utilising primary data collected from ten tribal dominated districts of Rajasthan. These tribal communities belong to the Bhils, the Meenas and the Saharias. Results reveal that women’s empowerment is negatively associated with fertility behaviour. Women’s education, employability, participation in decision-making, exposure to media and spousal communication bear significant impact on fertility behaviour. This study may have some implications for future studies and policy makers for regulating fertility.

Abstract:

India is the second-largest tribal population in the world. However, after the seven decades of independence, the tribal groups are disadvantaged and socially backward from the cycle of growth in many areas such as health, education, employment, and empowerment, and more. Among these, for tribal society, education is an essential requirement. The state and central governments have initiated several programs to educate tribal groups. Many of these programs have achieved only 10 percent of the targets. The vast numbers of tribal peoples are missing their education at various levels. They lag in education due to the high illiteracy rates among the tribal population relative to Scheduled Castes (S.C.s). Hence, the time has come to consider tribal education and inclusive growth seriously. In this context, the comprehensive literature review seeks to provide a contemporary overview of India's current status and challenging issues of tribal education. The paper is purely based on second-hand information from various research studies conducted in India and collected from different government sources. The outcomes are more helpful in implementing schemes that can improve tribal literacy and inclusive growth perspectives.

Abstract:

The final episode in the legend of Mary Magdale according to Legenda aurea is an example of extreme asceticism in a ‘historic (post-axial) religion’. But the scenario with the saint in the ‘desert’ is built on mythical and ritual themes well-known from ‘tribal’ and ‘archaic’ religions. Axaial asceticism contains a previously unknown, universal ideal about a durative, lifelong asceticism; but this ideal both prolongs and inverts forms of asceticism that were well-known in earlier forms of religion.

Abstract:

Abstract Malnutrition has become one of the serious problems among children and adolescents internationally, especially in developing countries. India, a developing country covers 40% of undernourished children of the world. In India, tribal population is among the most deprived and undernourished people. The present study shows the prevalence of undernutrition among Kolam tribal children and adolescents by comparing different Body Mass Index (BMI) cut off points. Age and sex specific nutritional status of studied population shows 15.01% boys and 18.35% girls are in Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) III category, 16.22% boys and 19.32% girls are in CEDII, 31.71% boys and 2.72% girls are in CEDI only 0.96% boys and 1.69% girls are in overweight category respectively. Undernutrition is not limited to young children, even adults are also severely underweight in developing countries. Health and nutrition of today’s adolescent girls may have great impact on the quality of next generation. Proper nutritional programs and health policies are needed to be implemented among tribals to solve the problem of undernutrition and similar studies should be planned in other underprivileged sections worldwide.
