Abstract:

Abstract   The poems "The Weapons in My Hands", "If Only Tamarind Were Not Sour!", and "Jamuni, Who Are You After All?" by Jacinta Kerketta offer profound insights into the struggles faced by marginalized communities in India, particularly the tribal populations. Kerketta, a member of the Oraon tribe from Jharkhand, India, uses her poetry to voice the anguish, resistance, and resilience of tribal people. In "The Weapons in My Hands", Kerketta explores the themes of land alienation, cultural identity, and resistance, symbolizing the ongoing fight for survival and dignity through the imagery of weapons. Similarly, "If Only Tamarind Were Not Sour!" delves into the socio-economic hardships of a young girl who faces rejection and poverty. In "Jamuni, Who Are You After All?", the poet critiques the objectification and commodification of women’s suffering, reflecting on how the pain and trauma of marginalized individuals are sensationalized by the media. This paper examines the thematic connections between displacement, resistance, and socio-economic inequality in Kerketta's work. It also explores how her poetry highlights the deep connection between tribal people and their land, culture, and identity, emphasizing the need for social change and resistance in the face of exploitation. Through her vivid portrayal of the tribal struggle, Kerketta’s work calls for a greater recognition of indigenous voices and the preservation of their cultural integrity.   Keywords: Tribal identity, resistance, land alienation, cultural preservation, displacement, socio-economic inequality, Jacinta Kerketta, gender oppression, media commodification, feminist literature.

Abstract:

The usefulness of the placenta in the developing fetus cannot be overemphasized due to its elaborate functions. The placenta is formed by the cooperative effort between the extra embryonic tissue of the embryo and the endometrial tissue of the mother thus representing a symbiosis between the two without any rejection. This study is aimed at assessing the morphological changes of 150 placentas following parturition in five hospitals and different tribes in South-South, Nigeria. Questionnaires were distributed within the delivery suites in the five major hospitals, (University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, General Hospital Calabar, Kendox Hospital Rivers State, Obio Hospital Rivers State and Alphonso Hospital Rivers State.) where the mother’s age, parity and maternal medical conditions were recorded (Tribe Andoni: Maternal age 18-25, Parity 1-5, Placenta Weight 0.7kg, Medical condition Nil). (Tribe Ibibio: Maternal age 20-31, Parity 1-6, Placenta Weight 0.7kg, Medical Nil). (Tribe Annang: Maternal age 19-30, Parity 1-4, Placenta Weight 0.7kg, Medical condition Nil). (Tribe Oron: Maternal age 20-30, Parity 1-8, Placenta Weight 0.7kg, Medical condition Nil). (Tribe Eket: Maternal age 19-42, Parity 1-8, Placenta Weight 0.5kg, Medical condition diabetes mellitus). (Tribe Ogoni: Maternal age 19-35, Parity 1-5, Placenta Weight 0.6kg, Medical condition Nil). (Tribe Ikwere: Maternal age 19-28, Parity 1-6, Placenta Weight 0.7kg, Medical condition Nil). (Tribe Efik: Maternal age 19-45, Parity 1-7, Placenta Weight 0.5k, Medical condition Hypertension). Placental weight was measured using the basinet weighing scale after excising the umbilicus and squeezing out blood. All these were guided by the midwife on duty. The result showed that placenta weight varied significantly (P < 0.05) among different tribes. Eket and Oron had the highest mean parity of 9.00± 0.001 with Annang had the least mean parity of 0.60 ±0.03. Maternal age correlated significantly with placenta weight with a positive but weak relationship (P <0.05) at r=0.214. The parity was also significantly related to placenta weight (P <0.05) at r=0.277 where a weak but positive relationship was observed.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article explores nineteenth-century colonial representations of the Oraons of Chhotanagpur. Described in administrative reports of early nineteenth-century Chhotanagpur as mlecchha and dhangar, or as part of a ‘village community’ of Coles/Kols, these Oraons, by the late nineteenth century, were referred to as a ‘tribe’. To trace the categories through which the Oraons journeyed across colonial records, I discuss texts and reports which later became part of bureaucratic memory. The shifts within official understanding, I argue, were related to the working of official minds, changing assumptions, and differing languages; the tensions within the discipline of anthropology and its application in the colony; the variations within ideologies of governance and the imperatives of rule; and interactions with ‘native’ informants and correspondents, along with personal observations of local practices. There remained, however, an uneasy tension between wider intellectual trends in Europe and their reverberations in the colony, and the experiences of governance: colonial knowledge was not always produced with arrogance and assurance but also with doses of uncertainty, hesitation, disquiet, and often despair. In the shifting representations of the tribe across the nineteenth century, there is, I suggest, a pattern. In the pre-1850s, local nomenclature was adopted and voices of dissent—expressed through agrarian protests in Chhotanagpur—were addressed. By the 1850s, the utilitarian agenda structured colonial imaginaries and interventions. The 1860s witnessed the interplay of ethnological concerns, missionary beliefs, and Arcadian principles. From the 1890s, the idea of tribe was overwhelmingly structured by the supremacy of disciplinary knowledge systems that increasingly supplanted the role of the ‘native’ informant.

Abstract Abstract 5170 Background: The Thalassemias are a group of anemia that results from a genetic defect whch reduces the rate of synthesis of normal globin chains. Beta Thalassemia results in severe microcytic, hypochromic, haemolytic anaemia among affected patients. It has emerged as one of the most common health problems among the tribal populations in West Bengal. A project entitled, “Status of Prevalence and Awarness Among Thalassaemia Population: Special reference to various tribes belonging in different Districts of West Bengal” has been sanctioned by the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India(BT/PR10336/SPD/24/293/2007). This study is aimed to observe the spectrum of various beta mutations among the tribes. In the screening schedule thalassemia awarness programme was conducted in various rural areas of West Bengal. We mainly confronted with the Sardar tribes in extreme south of West Bengal. In North Bengal there were Toto, Rabha, Oraon, Munda, Toppo, Baraik, Nagbanshi, Khalko, Kheria, Kerketta and Soren. Method: In the year 2009–2010, 1289 tribes were screened. Mass awarness programme were followed by collection of peripheral blood samples in EDTA vials and transported to the laboratory in ice packs. NESTROFT was done on spot using 0.36% Saline Buffer solution (Sodium chloride, Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, Disodium hydrogen Phosphate). Complete Blood Count was performed within 24 hours of collection. HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) was done to identify the beta samples. DNA was extracted from the blood of beta carrier and beta major and subjected to ARMS (Amplification Refractory Mutation System) PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) to detect the point mutations. Result: Conclusion: Molecular Characterization of Beta globin gene mutations among these tribes have confirmed the presence of the following mutations: IVS-1 nt5 (G>C), IVS-1 nt1(G>T), codon 15 (G>A), codon 26 (G>A), the mutation which leads to HbE, codon 19 (A>G), codon 17 (A>T), -28 (A>G). The most common mutation observed among Totos and Rabhas were codon 26 (G>A) of North Bengal. The prevalence of Beta carrier among them is negligible. The mutation IVS-1 nt5 (G>C) is prevalent among the Oraon, Nagbanshi and Sardar tribes of Bengal. The other mutations which are present among them are codon 15 (G>A) and codon 30 (G>C). There are two codon 17 (A>T) and one -28 (A>G) mutations which are present among Mundas. The rest of them are mutation IVS-1 nt5 (G>C). In few cases presence of sickle cell anemia was observed. Our results have added to the existing data on the common beta globin gene defects which are prevalent among the general population of West Bengal, India. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract:

Two hundred and sixty two specimens of bats of the tribe Nycticeiini were sampled from throughout Australia, and their tissues subjected to aliozyme electrophoresis with a view towards delineating species boundaries. A total of 30 loci were resolved, detailed analysis of which revealed five species - greyii, sanborni, balstoni, orion and rueppellii. The specific boundaries recognized differ from ali previous treatments of Australian members, but are supported by the taxonomic arrangement proposed by Kitchener and Caputi (1985). The data also support separate generic recognition of rueppe/lii. Finally, the genetic data reveal a high level of population sub structuring in these bats.

Abstract:

Chhattisgarh is one of the tribal-state of India in which most of the tribes are concentrated in the dense forests of Achanakmar Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve (AABR). Tribal primarily depend upon agriculture, forest products, handcrafts, and medicinal plants for their existence. Traditionally, Gonds are agriculturalists, and Baigas are actively engaged in the medicinal aspects of plants to treat ailments. However, with time, the social, economic, and cultural life of the tribes in forest reserves has changed due to increased anthropogenic pressure on the wildlife, which has endangered their survival. These tribes often practice collecting forest products and selling them in the market for their livelihood. To address these issues, we have done a comprehensive study of the AABR falls under, Khudia and Lormi Region of Mungeli District of Chhattisgarh State. We have observed seven tribes viz., Gond, Baiga, Kanwar, Oraon, Muria, Bharia and Kol, among them the Gonds were dominant. We have included the type of family, assets, drinking water, house/land, livestock, toilet facility, availability of electricity and Fuel for Cooking for the evaluation of the socioeconomic profile of the study area. The outcome of the present research work will help to understand the socio-economic status of the indigenous tribes of AABR of Mungeli district. Further extension of present research work would be focused on the cultural practices, educational attainment, employment status, and access to healthcare facilities, which could be able to provide the ongoing socio-economic changes among the tribal communities, and support the effective implementation of tribal welfare schemes.

Abstract: Odisha has one of the largest concentrations of tribal population in the whole country. In concrete figure they number around 8 million. Tribal communities differ from all others in many aspects, their distinctive features being clan organization and territorial exogamy, class’s social structure, youth dormitory, colourful rituals and folk art, music and dance. The 62 tribes in Odisha wary in their size, degree of acculturation and economic patterns. While the Kondhs numbering around nine lakh are numerically the largest in the state. the Santals are among the three largest and advanced tribes in the country. The major tribes living in Odisha are the Bathudi, Santhals, Oraons, Gonds and Kondhs. Although many of the Adivasi tribes are found in other parts of the country, the Juangs, Bhuyans, Saoras, Bondas and Bathudis are exclusive to Odisha. The tribal Communities are in various stages of economic and social development starting with the least developed Bondas and ending with the comparatively advanced Santals, the spectrum covering seminomadic to semiurban conditions.

ABSTRACT  Mahasweta Devi is a distinguished Indian writer and an esteemed activist who worked hard to uplift the tribal communities. She has a deep knowledge of the socio-political condition of India. She is an iconoclast who, in her works focussed on the miserable condition of depressed and neglected classes and tribes. Her different stories and novels shower light on the day to day happenings in the interiors of our nation. She has also talked about the quest for equal rights for each and every individual, especially for females in terms of education, health facilities, employment opportunities and social well-being. The present paper discusses “’Rudali’ and ‘The Hunt’” in the light of atrocities done to the women in their tribes and the racist response given to them. Mahasweta Devi has portrayed the protagonists Sanichari and Mary Oraon, as the representatives of modern women searching for their own identity in the modern society. She presents the pitiable and pathetic condition of tribal women with their sorrows and sufferings and, more importantly, their infuriated inner self, which worked constructively to bring them to the level of mainstream individuals by injecting the sense of respect and appreciation for them.

Abstract:

India is the first country to initiate a family planning approach. After seven decades of the family welfare approach, only 56.5 percent of currently married women (15 to 49 years) use any modern method of contraceptives. Even after seven decades, the successful implementation of family planning was not possible in India. More research is needed at the regional level to understand the reasons for this failure. The present paper is a fresh attempt to provide analytical information about contraceptive behavior among tribal tea workers of Bengal Dooars in West Bengal. Different ethnic groups of laborers reside in the tea gardens of North Bengal. Among the workers, the most common Adivasis (tribal) are Santal, Munda, Oraon, Kujur, Mahali, Chik Baraik, Malpahari, Naik, and Asur. Poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition make life miserable for tea workers. The study was conducted on four tea Estates in Dooars. The study provides details about the family welfare perception and use of any modern method of contraception among tribal women. Most tribes are genetically homogenous (except hill tribes), but their contraceptive acceptance level is different. Family planning is closely related to people's literacy and financial status. Due to backwardness in education, most of the tea workers understand contraception as sterilization (tubectomy and vasectomy).

Abstract:

Background: An exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and an extended breastfeeding for 24 months protects the infant from infectious disease and promotes child spacing. Therefore, the knowledge, attitude and practice about infant and child feeding is important to overcome morbid conditions prevailing among mothers and her child. The present study aimed at investigating the factors influencing an exclusive breastfeeding among currently married tribal women in Jharkhand, India.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among the 919 currently married Santal, Oraon, Mahli and Ho women in the age group of 15-29 years from forty villages of Purbi Singhbhum district of Jharkhand using interview schedule method.Results: The mean duration of exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding up to 24 months was found to be 4.1 and 12.9 months respectively. Also, not much difference in the average duration of exclusive breast feeding was found between working and non-working women. The results of multinomial regression showed maternal age (OR=1.92, p<0.05), place of delivery (OR=2.3, p<0.05), distance from health facility (OR=4, p<0.01) and sex of last child born (OR=2.5, p<0.01) among the significant determinants for exclusive Breastfeeding.Conclusions: The duration and initiation of breastfeeding in a marginalised society depends to a great extent on how family members participate and decide on the type of feeding for new-borns. Also, several public health education campaigns should be launched aiming at increasing the familiarity of family relations on exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract:

Tribal issue is a matter of global concern. In India around 8.8% of the total population consist of tribal. They are of primitive human civilisation of India. The major tribes in India are the Gonds, the Bhils, the Santals, the Oraons, the Minas and the Mundas. Eighty percent of the tribes are found in the central region of India. If we look back in the history of pre-independent India, the tribes’ position was not in much privileged; they are intended for the laborious job, a kind of slaves under the British colonials. Later on, a decade of independence, unfortunately there are virtually no alterations in the present socio-economic scenario of the tribe’s conditions. Tribes are treated as outsiders and unwanted in their own homeland by the modern capitalist’s society. In the process of national development tribes and their cultural identity is badly affected as compared to any other community as the second Five Year Plan was modelled on the idea of either industrialisation or perish, providing the front seat of debates and decision only to the economic issues. Tribal areas have been comprehended as the heaven of natural resources by the industrial houses and investors. As a consequence, thousands of industrial projects are installed by the investors in or near these tribal areas for the rude fabrics of the yields. And the tribes were disowned from their lands and homes; forced to migrate from their traditional sources of livelihood – Jal, Jungal and Zamin, leaving their culture, tradition and identity to a critical stage. This paper concentrates on the impact of industrialization in the tribal regions and their economic and social inclusion in the mainstream resulting in their dichotomy of existence and alienation.

Abstract:

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The stone monuments named as “Orhon” inscriptions located in Middle Asia are considered the first written Turkish findings. Our aim was to discuss the contents and physical appearance of the monuments according to the andrological perspective. METHODS These inscriptions were composed of three stone monuments built in the years 720-735 AD, in honor of three Khagans (Ruling leaders). RESULTS Although the theme of the writings emphasizes the male-dominant ruling style of the antique Middle Asian migratory tribes, we claim that the most interesting point was that the phallus had a secret role in the perspective of the stone monuments. CONCLUSION The trilogy of power, state authority, and erection was monumentalized in 8th-century inscriptions. The signs of Andrology should be sought in history, archeology, and art to expand the esthetic horizon of modern medical sciences.

Abstract:

This study finds out the abstraction of the semantic orag by Bicolanos, specifically SorsogueÅ„os, either being vice or virtue. The study determined the usage, perception and coinage of the term from informants all over the province. Qualitative method was used in this study with an approach utilizing Critical Hermeneutics. The researcher viewed the interpersonal experiences and reactions of the informants to the semantic.There are two common perceptions to the term, positive and negative. Informants referred to it as being matibay or maabilidad (strong and willful). This positive coinage can also refer to a person who is intelligent and good at everything. However, it was perceived with an echoing meaning where the negative connotation arises. Boastfulness, ill-manner, arrogance and meanness are some of the negative connotations. But the prevailing coinage is that it is understood as a term linked to lust and sex.When asked about the origin of the term and how Bicolanos became known as oragon, the respondents perception can be categorized into three (3): (1) that it is a pure Bicol term used by ancient Bicolanos (2) that Bicolanos are known as oragon because of being brute in street fights and that Bicolanos are known to have delicacies and dishes that always include spices such as Bicol Express and (3) because the term was made famous by the well-known actor, Eddie Garcia, a Bicolano actor from Sorsogon who included Bicol terms in almost all of his movies. The historical and cultural aspects of its coinage had been revisited. It was found out that Ancient Bicol holds a rich traditional culture that embodies Bicol mindset prior to the Hispanic era. There are myths that have been believed by the ancient Bicol and one of which is that oragon is maguinoongpanonin boot. They were leaders of tribes who were believed to have acquired the power from Bathalaan hence they are maguinoong-oragon. During the Spanish colonization, however, most of the oragons became leaders of guerrillas. To aid this problem, Spanish friars deprived the oragons with their proper honorific titles and started preaching on the immoralities of polygamous marriage. Hence, maguinoong-oragon became maguinoong-bastos. From there arose all the negative coinage of the semantic: its linkage to sex and lust, boastfulness and badness. The semantic clearly has an innate goodness in its original connotation but was given a negative coinage by history. One thing is clear: it is an emblem symbolizing Bicolanos as fearless warriors, bold yet plain to truth and with dignity, as the regional march stresses. Its pure meaning still echoes and resonates in the different interpretations among SorsogueÅ„os. Finally, it was perceived that orag or oragon is an emblem that manifests Bicol virtue. This is a call to all Bicolanos, especially SorsogueÅ„os, to try to regain and muster the authentic meaning of orag. Striving to get back what was lost from history would mean enrichment to a restored culture. People must not be satisfied with the present status of the semantic for if not, it will forever be lost. As a recommendation, Orag as Bicol virtue is a recognition of a deeper understanding of the rich culture and tradition of the once maguinoong-oragon. Whatever meaning it conveys now, it definitely is a virtue that SorsogueÅ„os symbolize and carry as persons of worth and of values.

Abstract:

The Raigarh District is situated on eastern most part of Chhattisgarh, covering an area of 12,924 sq. km. The district is inhabited by a large number of tribes, namely, Oraons, Birhor, Gonds and Baigas. The ethnobotanical survey was conducted in tribal areas during the year 1990-1991. The first-hand information regarding the ethnomedicinal uses was gathered from old medicine men who are actually using herbal medicines for meeting their health care needs.In the present paper ethnomedicinal uses of 30 plants are given such as Ardisea solanacea Roxb. (Cuts wounds), Arisaema tortuosum (Wall.) Schott. (Constipation), Bauhinia variegata L. (Veterinary Diseases), Cyperus rotundus L. (Stomachache), and Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers. (Small Pox), etc. The data will be useful to Phytochemists, Pharmacologists and herbal practitioners for detection of active principles to be used as green medicine for human welfare.

Abstract:

Orson Scott Card’s Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus is an interesting work of fiction that belongs to the genre of Alternate History, which is a subgenre of speculative fiction. The novel poses the question of: “what would have happened to the world if the Indigenous American tribes had been stronger and had made coalitions with each other, instead of being conquered and defeated by European forces?” This paper reads the selected novel from the Ecofeminist point of view, exploring various issues that are relevant to the theory of Ecofeminism. The analysis conducted in this paper tackles the roles women perform when trying to save their world; the connections between women and nature, and how patriarchal cultures treat both of them; the role technology plays in the times of natural disasters and how it can make the world a better place for women; whether or not technology is a tool in the hands of the White savior; and the empowerment of the Indigenous Americans or lack thereof.

Abstract:

AbstractObjectives:The most important risk factor of cardiovascular disease is hypertension and high salt intake contributes to high blood pressure. However, to prevent iodine deficiency disorders, the iodisation of salt is a proven strategy. So, on one hand, we suggest people reduced salt consumption but on the other hand, we also fear an increase in the prevalence of iodine deficiency disorders. In the present study, we investigated the possibility of salt intake at WHO recommended levels resulting in higher or lower iodine status in India by assessing the urinary iodine status and its relation with blood pressure.Design:It was a cross-sectional study.Setting:It was a community-based study.Participants:We collected 24-hour urine samples for estimation of iodine concentrations in urine from 411 adult hypertensives in the Mandla district of central India. Urinary iodine was estimated using Thermo ORION make ion-selective electrodes.Results:The median urinary iodine excretion was 162·6 mcg/l. Interestingly 371 (90·26 %) subjects were observed with > 200 mcg/l urinary iodine concentration level indicating iodine sufficiency. Individuals with high urine Na significantly had high blood pressure as compared with individuals with low urinary Na excretion (P < 0·01). There is a higher probability of high urine iodine levels among individuals with higher urine Na levels.Conclusion:The study revealed that 90 % of the population were excreting excessive iodine in urine, which is more than adequate iodine uptake. This excess uptake enables a scope for reduction in salt intake to control hypertension.

Abstract:

Seventeen microsatellite loci from the non-recombining region of the human Y chromosome were typed using AmpFlSTR® Yfiler® PCR amplification systems in 404 male subjects belonging to the three largest ethnic groups in Bangladesh. A total of 150 haplotypes from the Chakma, 144 from the Tripura, and 110 from the Khasia were detected with a corresponding discrimination capacity of 73.885%, 65.563%, and 81.250%, respectively. The highest allele frequency of 0.828 was detected in DYS391 locus in the Tripuras, while the lowest allele frequency of 0.009 was detected at the same locus for the Chakma population. The highest gene diversity (0.964) was observed at DYS385a/b locus in the Khasias, while the lowest gene diversity (0.301) was detected at DYS391 locus in Tripuras population. The overall haplotype diversity for the studied populations was 0.986141. Both the Neighbour-Joining tree and pairwise genetic distances showed that Chakma lies closer to a clade consisting of Tripuras (Khagrachari, Bangladesh) and Tripuri (Tripura, India). In contrast, the Khasias demonstrated a close affinity with the Oraon (Chhattisgarh, India), followed by the Santals. The Y-STR haplotype matching probabilities within and between populations demonstrated that the Chakma, Tripura, and Khasia were 100% genetically distinct. The studied ethnic populations exhibited higher frequency for haplogroups L and Q as opposed to haplogroups R1a, H, and L found in the mainstream Bengali population. The Median-joining networking showed haplogroups L and R1a have the most compact clustering within populations, followed by haplogroups Q and H. The presence of haplogroup R1a suggests that Bengali may have originated through west-to-east migration, whereas haplogroups L and Q distribution in the studied tribes reveal a very significant affinity with the South-East Asian populations and may have shared a common ancestral origin with the Mongoloid stock populations.

Abstract:

Background:Lack or loss of response to TNFα-inhibitors can be caused by subtherapeutic drug levels and anti-drug antibodies (ADAb). Knowledge about associations between clinical efficacy and drug levels as well as occurrence of ADAb is limited in patients with inflammatory joint diseases (IJD) treated with golimumab.Objectives:To identify the therapeutic target concentration and assess the frequency of ADAb in golimumab-treated patients with IJD.Methods:91 patients from the NOR-DMARD study with a clinical diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (n=41), rheumatoid arthritis (n=20) or psoriatic arthritis (n=30) starting treatment with golimumab, with an available biobank sample at 3 months follow-up, were included. Treatment response was defined by ASDAS Clinically important improvement in axial spondyloarthritis, EWULAR good/moderate response in rheumatoid arthritis and improvement of ≥50% in modified DAPSA (using 28 swollen/tender joint counts) in psoriatic arthritis. Serum drug concentrations were analysed in non-trough samples collected 3 months after treatment initiation, using an automated in-house target-based immunofluorometric assay. ADAb was measured with an inhibition assay that measures neutralising antibodies. The association between drug levels and treatment response was assessed by multivariable logistic regression (adjusted for age, sex and prior bDMARD (Y/N)). Drug-survival was assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis.Results:Golimumab serum concentrations varied considerably between patients on standard dose (range 0.0-8.2 mg/L) with a median of 2.2 (IQR 1.0-3.5) mg/L. The proportions of responders after 3 months among patients with golimumab concentration <1.0, 1.0-3.9 and ≥4.0 mg/L, were 19%, 49% and 74%, respectively (Fig.1). The likelihood of response after 3 months of treatment was significantly higher among patients with serum golimumab concentration ≥1.0 mg/L compared to those with golimumab <1.0 mg/L (OR 5.8 (95% CI 1.7-19.7), P =0.005). The proportion of responders was highest among patients with golimumab concentrations ≥4.0 mg/L, but the difference in response between patients with concentrations ≥4.0 mg/L compared to 1.0-4.0 mg/L was not statistically significant (OR 2.1 (95% CI 0.6-7.1), P=0.24). We also found a higher rate of treatment discontinuation in patients with serum golimumab concentration <1.0 mg/L compared to ≥1.0 mg/L (HR 3.6 (95% CI 1.9-6.9), P <0.001) (Fig.2). ADAb were detected in 5 of 91 samples and were associated with lower drug concentrations. Only 1 out of 5 ADAb-positive patients was a responder at 3 months, and all 5 ADAb positive patients discontinued treatment within the first 14 months.Conclusion:Golimumab concentrations ≥1.0 mg/L were associated with improved treatment response and better drug survival, but our results also indicate that some patients might benefit from higher concentrations. ADAb were associated with lower drug concentrations and both reduced treatment response and drug survival. These findings suggest a rationale for personalised dosing guided by measurements of drug concentration and ADAb in golimumab-treated patients with IJD, which should be addressed in future randomised strategy trials.Disclosure of Interests:Johanna Elin Gehin Speakers bureau: Roche, David J Warren: None declared, Silje Watterdal Syversen Speakers bureau: Roche, Thermo Fisher, Elisabeth Lie: None declared, Joe Sexton: None declared, Liz Loli: None declared, Ada Wierød: None declared, Trine Bjøro: None declared, Tore K.

Abstract:

Español. Se presenta la revisión taxonómica del género Helminthotheca Vaill., basada en el estudio morfológico de material en toda su área de distribución. El género, que se incluye en la subtribu Hypochaeridinae de la tribu Cichorieae, tiene una distribución centrada principalmente en el oeste de la Región Mediterránea, y se diferencia del resto de los géneros de la subtribu por la presencia de acúleos ± espinosos y setas gloquidiadas en los tallos, hojas y a veces en las brácteas del involucro, pero sobre todo por la presencia de 5 hojas involucrantes que rodean al verdadero involucro del capítulo. Sobre la base del ciclo de vida, la morfología de las hojas involucrantes y los tipos de frutos, las distintas especies del género se reagrupan en tres secciones: Helminthotheca, Vigineixia y Eliptica. Las secciones Helminthotheca y Vigineixia, ambas monotípicas, comprenden especies anuales, con hojas involucrantes cordiformes y los frutos del capítulo dimorfos. La sección Eliptica, con 5 especies reconocidas, se diferencia de las otras secciones por incluir especies perennes, con hojas involucrantes ovadas o elípticas y frutos del capítulo homomorfos. En este trabajo se efectúa una combinación nueva, Helminthotheca sect. Vigineixia (Pomel) Talavera, y se da un nombre nuevo a Picris subgen. Deckera sensu Battandier: Helminthotheca sect. Eliptica Talavera & Tremetsberger. La sección Eliptica es la más compleja debido, sobre todo, a la hibridación interespecífica cuando las especies conviven, habiéndose detectado zonas híbridas en el N del Guadalquivir al W de Sierra Morena (S de España), en el extremo más occidental de las montañas del Rif, cerca de la Península Tingitana, en el E del Rif (NW of Marruecos), en las montañas del Atlas argelino y en las colinas arcillosas de Beni-Zenthis (Orán, Argelia).English. Based on a morphological study, we present the revision of the genus Helminthotheca Vaill., a small member of the subtribe Hypochaeridinae of the tribe Cichorieae, which is mainly distributed in the western part of the Mediterranean region. Helminthotheca is differentiated from the remaining genera of the subtribe by the presence of ± spiny prickles and glochid-like bristles in stems, leaves and, sometimes, involucral bracts. The main distinguishing character, however, is the presence of 5 outer involucral leaves, which surround the proper involucre of the head. Based on the life cycle, the morphology of the outer involucral leaves and the fruit types found in the head, species of Helminthotheca are rearranged in three sections: Helminthotheca, Vigineixia and Eliptica. The sections Helminthotheca and Vigineixia, both monotypic, are annuals with cordate outer involucral leaves and dimorphic fruits in the head. The section Eliptica, with five recognized species, is differentiated from the other sections by its perennial habit, ovate or elliptic outer involucral leaves and homomorphic fruits in the head. Here, we make a new combination, Helminthotheca sect. Vigineixia (Pomel) Talavera, and give a new name to Picris subgen. Deckera sensu Battandier, Helminthotheca sect. Eliptica Talavera & Tremetsberger. The section Eliptica is the most complex section, due mainly to interspecific hybridization between all species, when they co-occur, with hybrid zones having been detected in the N of the Guadalquivir River in the W of the Sierra Morena (S Spain), in the westernmost part of the Rif Mountains, near the Tangier Peninsula, in the E Rif and Middle Atlas (NW Morocco), in the Algerian Atlas Mountains and in the argillaceous hills of Beni-Zenthis (Oran, Algeria).

Abstract:

BackgroundThe optimal first-line treatment of patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (eRA) is not established.ObjectivesTo compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of active conventional therapy (ACT) with each of three biological therapies with different modes of action.MethodsIn this investigator-initiated, randomized, open-label, blinded-assessor study (NCT01491815), patients with treatment-naïve eRA with DAS28>3.2 and RF+/ACPA+/CRP>10mg/L, were randomized 1:1:1:1 to methotrexate combined with: 1) oral prednisolone (tapered quickly; discontinued at w36); or: sulphasalazine, hydroxychloroquine and mandatory intra-articular (IA) glucocorticoid injections in swollen joints (ACT); 2) certolizumab-pegol (CZP); 3) abatacept (ABA) or 4) tocilizumab (TCZ). IA glucocorticoid was allowed in all arms except w20-24 and w44-48. Co-primary outcomes at w48 were CDAI remission (CDAI≤2.8) and change in total van der Heijde-modified Sharp Score from baseline (ΔvdHSSw0-w48). A combination of Bonferroni and Dunnet’s procedure adjusted for multiple testing. The primary endpoints were estimated using logistic regression and analysis of covariance, adjusted for sex, anti-CCP status and country.Results812 patients were randomized. Adjusted CDAI remission rates at w48 were: 59.3% (ABA), 52.3% (CZP), 51.9% (TCZ) and 39.2% (ACT). Compared to ACT, CDAI remission rates were superior for ABA (adjusted difference +20.1%; adjusted p<0.001) and CZP (+13.1%; p=0.021), but not TCZ (+12.7%; p=0.030) (Table 1). Key secondary clinical outcomes were consistently better in biological groups compared to ACT. Adjusted mean ΔvdHSSw0-w48 was low (Table 1), with no significant differences between drugs.Table 1.Baseline characteristicsACT (n=200)CZP+MTX (n=203)ABA+MTX (n=204)TCZ+MTX (n=188) §Age (y)55 (15)55 (15)55 (14)52 (15)Women, %139 (70%)139 (69%)140 (69%)129 (69%)Time from diagnosis to baseline, days13 (21)12 (17)16 (34)16 (33)Anti-CCP/RF positive, %82% / 76%82% / 73%83% / 78%82% / 72%CDAI28.7 (12.1)27.9 (12.4)28.6 (11.3)26.6 (11.7)Total vdHSS (0-448) [median; IQR)6.3 (8.2) [4; 1 - 8.5]5.9 (7.6) [3; 1 - 8]5.8 (9.8) [3; 1 - 6]4.2 (6.7) [2; 0.5 - 5]Estimated adjusted outcome (ITT)1, PrimaryCDAI remission, w4839.2% (32.5 - 45.9)52.3% (45.5 - 59.1)59.3% (52.6 - 66)51.9% (44.9 - 59.0)Δ1.9% (44.9 -0.45 (0.31 to 0.59)0.47 (0.33 to 0.61)0.62 (0.48 to 0.76)0.5 (0.36 to 0.64)Estimated adjusted treatment difference (ITT)2, PrimaryCDAI remission, w48Ref13.1% (3.5 to 22.6)*20.1% (10.6 to 29.5)*12.7% (3 to 22.5)Δ2.7% (3 to 2Ref0.02 (-0.17 to 0.22)0.17 (-0.02 to 0.37)0.05 (-0.15 to 0.25)Key secondaryACR/EULAR Boolean remission, w48Ref14.7% (5.4 to 23.9)19.4% (10.1 to 28.7)13% (3.5 to 22.4)DAS28 remission,w48Ref12.9% (3.5 to 22.2)17.4% (8.2 to 26.6)14.4% (5 to 23.9)EULAR good response, w48Ref8.2% (-0.6 to 17.1)11.3% (2.7 to 20)2.9% (-6.3 to 12.2)vdHSS progression ≤0.5, w0-w48Ref-3.3% (-11.1 to 4.6)3.5% (-4.7 to 11.8)-2.2% (-10.3 to 5.9)Values are mean (SD), if not otherwise indicated. §Finnish patients randomised to TCZ+MTX, but not receiving it due to unavailability, are not included. 1Values are estimated adjusted marginal means and estimated marginal differences against ACT with 95% CI.

Abstract:

Background:The optimal first-line treatment of patients (pts) with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is yet to be established.Objectives:The primary aim was to assess and compare the proportion of pts who achieved remission with active conventional therapy (ACT) and with three different biologic therapies after 24 wks. Secondary aims were to assess and compare other efficacy measures.Methods:The investigator-initiated NORD-STAR trial (NCT01491815) was conducted in the Nordic countries and Netherlands. In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, blinded-assessor study pts with treatment-naïve, early RA with DAS28>3.2, and positive RF or ACPA, or CRP >10mg/L were randomized 1:1:1:1. Methotrexate (25 mg/week after one month) was combined with: 1) (ACT): oral prednisolone (tapered quickly);or: sulphasalazine, hydroxychloroquine and mandatory intra-articular (IA) glucocorticoid (GC) injections in swollen joints <wk 20; 2) certolizumab 200 mg EOW SC (CZP); 3) abatacept 125 mg/wk SC (ABA); tocilizumab 162 mg/wk SC (TCZ). IA GC was allowed in all arms <wk 20. Primary outcome was clinical disease activity index remission (CDAI≤2.8) at wk 24. Secondary outcomes included CDAI remission over time and other remission criteria. Dichotomous outcomes were analyzed by adjusted logistic regression with non-responder imputation (NRI). Non-inferiority analyses had a pre-specified margin of 15%.Results:812 pts were randomized. Age was 54.3±14.7 yrs (mean±SD), 31.2% were male, DAS28 5.0±1.1, 74.9% were RF and 81.9% ACPA positive. Fig 1 shows the adjusted CDAI remission rates over time with 95% CI. Table shows crude remission and response rates and absolute differences in adjusted remission and response rates (superiority analysis). Differences in remission and response rates with CZP and TCZ, but not with ABA, remained within the pre-defined non-inferiority margin versus ACT, Fig 2.Figure 1.CDAI remission over time (adj. estimates with 95% CI)Figure 2.Non-inferiority analysis of protocol population.

ABA, abatacept; CZP, certolizumab-pegol; MTX, methotrexate; TCZ, tocilizumab.Conclusion:High remission rates were found across all four treatment arms at 24 wks. Higher CDAI remission rate was observed for ABA versus ACT (+9%) and for CZP (+4%), but not for TCZ (-1%). With the predefined 15% margin, ACT was non-inferior to CZP and TCZ, but not to ABA. This underscores the efficacy of active conventional therapy based on MTX combined with glucocorticoids and may guide future treatment strategies for early RA.Table.Primary and key secondary outcomes at 24 weeks (ITT)Active conventional therapy (ACT)Certolizumab+MTXAbatacept+MTXTocilizumab+MTXNo of pts (ITT)200203204188§Crude remission and response ratesCDAI remission42.0%47.8%52.5%41.0%ACR/EULAR Boolean remission34.0%38.4%37.3%31.4%DAS28 remission63.5%68.5%69.6%63.3%SDAI remission41.5%49.8%51.5%42.6%EULAR good response71.5%76.9%79.9%71.3%Difference (95% CI) in rates with Arm 1 as reference (adjusted)CDAI remissionRef4% (-5 to 13%)9% (0.1 to 19%)-1% (-10 to 9%)ACR/EULAR Boolean remissionRef4% (-6 to 13%)5% (-5 to 14%)-4% (-13 to 6%)DAS28 remissionRef3% (-6 to 11%)5% (-4 to 13%)-1% (-10 to 8%)SDAI remissionRef6% (-3 to 18%)9% (-0.3 to 18%)1% (-8 to 11%)EULAR good responseRef4% (-4 to 14%)8% (-2 to 18%)0.4% (-10 to 11%)§17 patients allocated to Tocilizumab did not receive it due to its unavailability and were excluded from ITT.Acknowledgments:Manufacturers provided CZP and ABA.Disclosure of Interests:Merete L.

Full text

Abstract:

This study explores the role of religion in the Oraon tribal community, emphasizing its historical development, ecological connections, and everyday practices. It highlights how Sarnaism, the indigenous faith of the Oraons, fosters environmental stewardship by venerating forests, rivers, and mountains as sacred entities. Rituals like the Sarhul festival honor nature’s cycles, reinforcing a deep ecological ethos. Sarnaism not only guides spiritual beliefs but also integrates sustainable living practices, ensuring harmony between human existence and the natural world. The Oraons’ religious practices reflect a holistic worldview where environmental conservation and spiritual traditions coexist. Even in modernity, religion continues to influence their daily lives, though shifts in religious behaviors are observed. The study concludes by emphasizing the contemporary relevance of these traditions, offering insights into sustainable living and the necessity of preserving indigenous ecological wisdom amid modern environmental challenges.

Abstract:

Indigenous knowledge System (IKS) plays a fundamental role in environmental conservation and sustainable education. Oral transmission of this knowledge frequently occurs through songs, rituals, storytelling, and other cultural traditions across the various tribes of India. It seeks to provide individuals the information, abilities, attitudes, and values they need to create a sustainable future. The teaching and learning methodology known as Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) enables people to make contributions to sustainable development. This research explores the well-heeled and varied knowledge systems of the Oraon tribe of India, focusing on their conventional ecological wisdom, forest management, sustainable agricultural practices and oral traditions. Researcher used qualitative methods like; Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Interviews and Field notes for data collection. Result of this research study revealed that Oraon tribe have diverse tribal indigenous knowledge which can help in education for sustainable development. The Oraon people's deep understanding of biodiversity, resource management and holistic education offers valuable insights for modern-day sustainability efforts. By integrating these aboriginal practices into contemporary educational and environmental policies, we can encourage a more inclusive, broad and resilient future. The study highlights the need for policy acknowledgment and the assimilation of IKS in mainstream education and in conservation strategies

Abstract:

IntroductionFood consumption is an intensive social activity and can be considered a cultural artifact, reflecting the intricate process of sociocultural differentiation in shaping eating habits. Food has a positive effect on a person's health, physical performance, and state of mind. The nutritional composition of a person's diet plays a significant role in their overall health and development. Moreover, tribal cuisine is incomplete without a traditional drink. Rice beer, or handia, is one such indigenous alcoholic-fermented beverage that serves as a staple food.MethodsThis exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted from January, 2018 to December, 2020 to explore the traditional food practices of the Oraon community through a combination of one-to-one interviews, focus group discussions, and measurements. This study also involved the documentation of individual food recipes, from collection to preparation. To assess nutrient intake, we used a 24-h dietary recall method for 200 Oraon families comprising 466 adults and 193 children. Anthropometric measurements, such as body mass index (BMI) for adults and height-for-age and BMI-for-age z-score methods for children, recommended by the WHO, were taken and recorded using standard procedures. Additionally, the nutrient content of handia was analyzed.ResultsThe mean (SD) height, weight, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and BMI of the Oraon people were analyzed. The combined overall prevalence of chronic energy deficiency (CED) (BMI &lt; 18.5 kg/m2) was 39% (37% in men and 40.3% in women). The prevalence of overweight and obesity (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2) was found to be 7.1% among only women. The average daily energy intake was calculated to be 2,290 kcal per capita. It is worth noting that the food and nutrient consumption of the Oraon tribe was largely consistent with the recommended daily allowances/intakes (RDA/RDI). The consumption of root and tuber products was particularly high. The Oraon tribe was found to have a familiar intake of animal protein in the form of meat, including common periwinkles (Littorina littorea). The study also discovered a remarkable array of unique, region-specific festive foods. The consumption of nutrient-rich fermented rice beer was especially noteworthy.ConclusionThe present study provides insight into the traditional food practices of the Oraon tribe in West Bengal. It also highlights that their indigenous food consumption patterns have undergone significant changes as a result of admixture with other communities. To address these dietary issues, it is recommended that regional, need-based planning, and effective intervention programs be implemented. To ensure the proper maintenance of the Oraon tribe's traditional food practices, the cultivation of kitchen gardens and the domestication of wild, edible plants, such as seeds and tubers, may be helpful. Moreover, promoting the consumption of macronutrient-fortified handia, an indigenous beverage with high medicinal benefits, could be effective in combating hidden hunger among adults.

Abstract:

In the available literature on the tribes of Jharkhand, particularly in Chotanagpur and Santal Pargana regions, many significant historical and economic facts which have contributed a lot in the social formation in these societies, are either deliberately ignored by the British administrators and ethnographers (Heber, 1861; Dalton, 1872; Hunter, 1877; Risley, 1891; O'Malley, 1910 and Russell, 1916) or less emphasized by the social anthropologists (Roy, 1912, 1915; Ghose, 1916; Elwin, 1943; Ghurye, 1963; Vidyarthi, 1960, 1967, 1969, 1970). These facts refer mainly to the existence of different modes of production, process of class and state formations, changes in social division of labour, and the relations of production and the evolving nature of power relations (Devalle, 1992). These facts obviously have their bearings on the European perception of Indian reality which sees Indian Adivasis as a 'fixed idealized category, it is a perception that divorces tribal societies from the historical processes that have been affecting them, most notably the colonial situation in which tribal studies initially developed. As a matter of fact, a review of ethnohistory of Adivasis of Jharkhand, not only reveals the depth of these communities, their socio-cultural styles and how social maintenance and the attachment to land, territory and kinship have acted as an axis for the reproduction of collective identities but also on the processes of transition from lineage based societies to state based societies (Singh, 1966) or to peasant societies (Singh, 1966; Mandal, 1975, Sharma, 1982) or to societies which may be called as class societies (Sengupta, 1980, 1983; Pathy, 1982, 1988; Devalle, 1992) maintaining at the same time its ethno-cultural styles as well as the changing status of women in tribal society. This review has powerful bearing on the status of women in Oraon society. This paper focuses on all these historical facts which have affected the adivasi communities of Bihar (now Jharkhand) over a period of time and also reflects on the different viewpoints regarding the status of tribal women.

Abstract:

Background: Tribes constitute a considerable proportion (8.2%) of the Indian population. Most of them areunderprivileged. In general, data are scarce on the nutritional status of the various tribal and rural populationsof India. The principal aim of this study was to understand the age-trend and ethnic variations inanthropometric characteristics and nutritional status in three adult male populations (Oraon, Sarak andDhimal) of eastern India. This report is significant because of the new and empirical data on thesecommunities. Oraon is an age-old tribe while Dhimal is a much less known small community and Sarak is alsoa less studied group.Methods: A cross-sectional study in the perspective of anthropometric assessment of health and nutritionalstatus has been undertaken among the adult male samples (aged 18 years and above) of three endogamousand tribal communities of eastern India, viz., Oraons (n=290), Saraks (n=158) and Dhimals (n=159). Themajor objective of the present study was to report nutritional status, based on Body Mass Index (BMI), MidUpper Arm Circumference (MUAC), Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) and Rohrer Index (RI) of the adult males of theOraon and Sarak communities of the district of Ranchi in Jharkhand and among the Dhimals of Darjeelingdistrict in West Bengal.Results: Results describing the situation of the Oraons was worse (53.10%) followed by the Saraks (27.85%)and the Dhimals (27.04%) with respect to low Body Mass Index (BMI) and high degree of undernutrition (BMI< 18.49 kg/mt2). Health profile of the adult males evaluated by Rohrer Index (RI) documented that 66.89% ofthe Oraons had subnormal health the condition (RI ≤ 1.19). In addition, 51.57% of Dhimals and 39.87% of theSaraks also exhibited to have subnormal state of health in this appraisal. Sizeable proportion of each of thesepopulations was observed to have poor nutrition, as evaluated by the standard cut-off values of MUAC.Conclusions: Results displayed prevalence of high level of undernutrition and considerable percentages ofnon-obesity in these populations. Age variation of anthropometric characteristics and nutritional statusgrossly showed conspicuous negative trend of the parameters with the advancement of age with a few minorexceptions

Full text

Abstract:

Why do you want to learn your language?”, “Learn English! the children speak in English fluently”, “What’s your mother tongue? - ‘Hindi”, “You belong to a tribe and you don’t you know your tribal language?” -- these are common remarks that the migrating people of a tribe settled in other areas, have to face. They usually avoid these questions or end up learning the language with the highest sociolinguistic capital in their surrounding context. Over a course of time, the language of their ethnic identity gets increasingly replaced in more and more domains. While these substitutions are taking place, when an individual contemplates about identity, the one thing that goes missing is the ethnic identity. Individuals not born and brought up around their tribe, lack the cultural and linguistic competence to appreciate one’s own ethnic identity. In course of time, this gives rise to an identity crisis. This crisis is not limited to one level, but on a wider arena there is language loss taking place. The reasons can be social, political, cultural, etc. Social reasons feature most prominently for all the stated problems and the strange questions that are asked. So, in the paper, attempts have been made to dissect the mentioned issues in vivid detail

Abstract:

Religion is believed to be transcendent of human ambitions. It is considered to be the key factor to mauled human beings at correction of the path in terms of morality, order, and inner happiness. We human beings lived in a condition of uncertainty but religion gives us the meaning and purpose of life. It fulfills the day-to-day performance, management of self, group, community, and society. The otherworldly never gives a true sense of satisfaction (like science and technology, money, and materials). Religion is human-made, socially constructed, and instituted. It is not static but dynamic in its nature and feature. It is the constitution of social interaction and web of relations between human being and their institutions. The paper attempts to understand how religion is abstract till then gives the meaning and purpose of life, it strengthens to see the reality from different outlook, it exhibits the color of life when one understands the given symbol and draws meaning out of it. The paper also attempts to understand religion as a social institution sociologically and look through various dimensions that fulfill the society, community, and groups. Although the social institution has elements of social sanction, rules, and regulation, cultural ceremonies, religious beliefs, customs, and traditions to intact the social order of the society. The study also critically analyses and observed how religion and festivals are in transition among tribes giving emphasis to a particular tribe called ‘Oraon’.

Abstract:

The history of quality of life (QoL) of the tribal population in India is mostly oral and not well documented. The only known fact is that they used to live within the forest and struggle for their existence. This study aims to investigate the QoL of the major tribal communities in Alipurduar—a forest endowed district in Eastern India—and analyse the differences in their QoL to provide a comprehensive understanding of the socio-economic issues encountered by tribal communities who have been living in a geographically disadvantageous area endowed with tea plantations and forests. Five tribal communities, namely Mech, Santhal, Oraon, Toto and Rabha, were selected from Alipurduar district, West Bengal, for the study, with a total of 384 samples. The WHOQOL-BREF (1996) questionnaire was used to assess the QoL of the mentioned tribal communities. Factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to analyse the data to find out the difference in QoL among different tribal communities. The study findings indicate that there is a significant positive correlation between the different domains of QoL, including physical health, psychological health, social relationships and environmental conditions. The ANOVA results demonstrate significant differences in QoL among different tribal communities. The results show that the Toto tribe has enjoyed a higher QoL (M = 3.87, SD = 0.763) compared to other tribal groups, while the people of Oraon tribe have reported a lower QoL (M = 3.10, SD =1.065). Therefore, longitudinal studies need be conducted to get a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing their QoL to identify the reasons for the differences. Additionally, the government needs to understand the problems of each tribe and, accordingly, appropriate policies need to be implemented in a timely manner to improve the QoL of different tribal communities and, thus, minimise the differences and bring a balanced way of life.

Full text

Abstract:

Forest has often been employed as imagined spaces in narratives of various kinds and different cultures. Literature of any culture is an expression of its cultural attitudes, values, and beliefs. The non-human world is a significant part of human life and culture. However, a dualistic approach treating nature and culture as binary opposites has become prevalent in modern times. This approach is inherently flawed and leads to a discourse stripping nature of its agency. Jacinta Kerketta belongs to one of the important tribes, inhabiting the Chota Nagpur plateau of the Indian subcontinent and its adjoining regions, named the Oraon tribe. Her poems present a discourse of tribal worldview where humans identify themselves with the non-human world surrounding them. This biocentric identification with one’s environment is important as we are part of various ecosystems. The paper seeks to highlight the same with the help of select verses along with the analysis of the representation of forest from various perspectives. It also foregrounds the various contemporary issues prevalent in tribal societies like deforestation, cultural amnesia, etc., and presents a critique of capitalism. The paper employs an ecocritical theoretical framework for the analysis of the select poems from her two Poetry Collections titled Angor (2016) and Land of the Roots (2018)
