SUBLIME VALUES OF ADIVASI INDIA
|
The prehistoric or the ancient India was the land of Adivasis or indigenous peoples of Indian sub-continent, who in the course of time till today were invaded, won over, enslaved greatly sansrkitised. The sublime values those are in India, are largely found in the rural, Adivasi or among the indigenous peoples of India, where these indigenous populations of the country are still retaining these values and exhibiting through their social, cultural and various aspects of their folklore in-spite of hardships which are to great extent man made such as modern day oppressions and exploitations. Even though they are struggling for their survival, and yet they portray these innate and God given sublime values in their day today life. If corruption is found in their social habitats, it has come from outside of their geographical spaces or territories.
Which are these innate and sublime values which make them ideal citizens, living saints and sages in India are the following:
1. Love for God
2. Mellanerium
3. Hope for survival
4. Social solidarity
5. Simplicity
6. Sense of Social justice
7. Honesty
8. Loyalty
9. Love of neighbours
10. Hospitality
11. Social equality
12. Love of Nature
13. Equality of both sex
14. Empowerment of women
15. Water conservation and irrigation
16. Cleanliness
17. Devotion to their indigenous deities
18. Simple living and high thinking
19. Tribal Unity, 20. Perseverence
21. Genuiness
22. Largeheartedness
23. Freedom
24. Oral Tradition
25. Love for singing, dance and Music
26. Tribal aesthetics
27. Consistent
28. Hard Working
29. Loving & caring
30. Social sympathy
31. Self-employed
32. Self-sustaining
33. Love for oral literature
34. Respect for physical and social environment
35. Respect for women
36. Clan & village unity
37. Serviceable
38. Love for independence
39. Ideal Panchayati raj or local self-rule
40. No alienation or encroachment in other land or territory.
Against this social, cultural and historical background one can view that if at all there is corruption it has come to them through outsiders in their regions, as the media people have time and again pointed explicitly, including the social and cultural anthropologists. Governments in all honesty should preserve and promote these social and cultural values of Adivasi India through formal and informal education, mass media, etc, instead of bringing in corrupt systems in the name of administration, maintenance of law and justice, national integration, etc |
