Abstract:

AbstractThrough a description of the interactions of Christian missionaries in Chhotanagpur with the Oraons, this article illustrates the different ways in which the missionaries grappled with and restructured their notions of the ‘tribe’ and the ‘Oraon’ across the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Oraon, I argue, was initially recognized in terms of his heathen practices, his so-called compact with the Devil, and his world of idolatry and demonology. But, by the end of the nineteenth century, he increasingly became, in missionary language, an animistic aboriginal tribe, a ‘primiti

A twenty-three-year-old Algerian woman and liaison agent for the FLN was imprisoned, tortured, raped with a bottle by French military men, and it’s considered ordinary.1 Since 1954, in the name of suppressing rebellion, then of pacification, we are all accomplices of a genocide that has claimed over a million victims; men, women, old folks and children have been slaughtered: gunned down during search-raids, burned alive in their villages, throats slit or bellies ripped open, many tortured to death. Entire tribes have been left to starve and freeze, at the mercy of beatings and epidemics in the

Abstract:

Abstract The first section of this book deals with the category of ‘tribe’. It questions the stereotypes associated with the term, unravels the pasts of those designated as tribe, and disentangles the ways in which ideas of difference were generated in colonial times. The introduction to Section I analyses the case filed by Kartik Oraon against David Munzni in which he questioned the right of Munzni, an ‘Indian Christian’, to contest in the general election of 1962 for the parliamentary seat in the Lohardaga constituency which was reserved for Scheduled Tribes. Kartik Oraon’s argument raised fundamental questions: How was one to understand the idea of tribe? Was it race or religion that determined tribal identity? And, in what ways were voices of colonial officials, missionaries, and anthropologists invoked by the judiciary in order to authenticate the essential characteristics of the tribe?

Abstract:

Abstract Chapter 3 focuses on the transformations in S.C. Roy’s writings on the Oraons between 1915 and 1938 in order to examine the different ways in which Roy represented a ‘tribe’ and the Oraons. An anthropologist, lawyer, writer, global intellectual, Indian and Bengali, Roy engaged with local communities and their leaders, colonial administrators, missionaries, Congress nationalists, and a Bengali vernacular public. As he dexterously navigated different worlds, writing both in English and in Bengali, Roy’s voice changed over time: an ‘academic anthropologist’ gradually came to adopt the stance of an ‘activist anthropologist’. Unpacking Roy’s descriptions, which he reworked in response to theoretical and political developments, will caution one against an uncritical adoption of his views as Roy continually refigured the idea of the tribe.

Abstract:

Abstract Chapter 2 examines representations of the Oraons in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century missionary writings on Chhotanagpur. When they initially encountered the Oraons, the missionaries drew upon their experiences in the mission field, but framed their depictions in biblical and evangelical language. The Oraons were represented as heathen and savage, immersed in idolatry and demonology, awaiting salvation. However, by the 1850s, as missionaries engaged with emerging disciplines and a scientific temperament, sometimes consciously and often tangentially, their narratives were gradually transformed. The Oraons became part of the universal category of the tribe; their ‘primitive’ religion was termed as ‘animism’. A new set of cultural co-ordinates—language, folklore, myths, tradition and history—marked their distinct identity. And if missionary voices were powerful in understanding the Oraons in the middle of the nineteenth century, paradoxically these voices, from the second half of the nineteenth century, became epistemically marginalized, subsumed within the ethnographic observations and ethnological surveys conducted by the colonial state.
