Summary
Details

The book includes articles which describe the belief systems, spiritual practices, knowledge of the traditional medicine, myth and modes of performance, orality and features underpinning the community cohesion. Moreover, articles related to constitutional and legal safe guards, healthcare, education and other state- led initiatives and their effect on community lifestyles are included. Documentation, in varying degrees is being carried on the contemporary life these communities by conscious members like Paramatap Pradhan and Shreekanta Kumar Barik. More such efforts with increasing quality are the need of the hour, given the precarious nature of the communities in their inhabited areas. Any amount of encouragement could still fall short of the required efforts to conserve the cultures of these increasingly marginalized groups of people.
