The Parajas are one of the well-known major tribes of Orissa. The name “Paraja” came from Sanskrit and means “common people”.

her shadow at a tribal dance, and I have seen her, pensive and inviolable, her clothes clinging to her wet body, beside a tank in Benares .Yes this woman keeps crossing my dreams causing in me a fearful disturbance, the full meaning of which I have yet to understand. (p.93) This vague image is later concretized in the form of Bilasia, the Bhil woman whom he finds an ideal combination of Otherness and the Self. Bilasia's exotic Otherness is clearly seen in her "untamed beauty", her promiscuity and

pointed out as one of the myths. The Indians the protagonists encounter seem to have some common knowledge of culture. All of them getting along well, watching people doing traditional dances and songs altogether although tribes’ traditions and customs are all different—some tribes do not like dances or have songs like that.

My Tribe and Their Beliefs and Their Consents It would be devastating if my tribe was to find out years later that they were involved in a scientific study that they knew nothing about. For most tribal communities, it is important to respect their culture and their beliefs. Scientists do not have the right to offend a tribal community, even if it was unintentional and due to ignorance regarding the taboo topics within the tribe from the researchers. For many reasons, it is important to inform the

examples of resource warfare in the animal kingdom. Macaque monkeys, who largely reside in Asia and the Middle East, live in tribes that have an inner hierarchy, similar to some human tribal societies. Oftentimes, if one macaque tribe finds an area that would be beneficial to inhabit, with plentiful food sources, but another macaque tribe is already inhabiting the area, the two tribes will then engage in a turf war in which one

Tribal Wisdom           David Maybury Lewis (1992) wonders if we, as Americans, by having systematically chosen to dismiss as 'odd', 'weird', and not the 'right' way to live; in our views of foreign tribal cultures, have been hoisted by our own petard.

when he was near the age of 30 he accompanied his tribe to trade. They made camp a short distance from a town. When most of the men rode into town to barter with the citizens, they left only a small guard over their possessions, wives, and children. On their way back they encountered fugitive women from their tribe who told them Mexicans raided the camp. The Mexicans stole their ponies and valuables and killed most of the women and children. The tribe separated and approached the camp from different

From the Arabian Peninsula to North Africa and Sudan, there is a shared connection that binds people together, perhaps as important as religion and language. Museums throughout the Gulf exhibit lineage maps demonstrating the family trees of ruling members. Major financial institutions in Dubai and Bahrain display in their offices large maps specifying important ruling family members of the Gulf States, including their marital, government, and business affiliations (Al-Qassemi). In Libya, tribal affiliation

Structural violence on the other is the type of violence, one experienced by the Adivasi because of a national water dam project, “the violence of nationalism becomes explicit both through the categories of poor who are deemed appropriate to neglect and through the failure to help those who are not considered part of the national community” (Gupta, 19). In fact it would be more accurate to say that the structural violence the Adivasi experience was due to State policies and practices, which came
