Adivasis of India
Like all tribal people across the globe, the Adivasi of India were happy to live in lives that were uncomplicated by money. Till recently, they were living in harmony with their surroundings.
The forest gave them food, clothing, material for housing and medicine. Like the Japanese, who believe in Shinto, the Adivasi believe in the divine nature of "Nature". To them, all things are imbibed with the divine spirit and are deserving of respect. Later, Hinduism absorbed their Gods and Goddesses in to its rich tapestry of scriptures, myths and legands and added their myths and legends to its own.

    Imagine living in India when the British took full control, and then being forced to change your day to day life. The british had an economic interest in India which started during the 1600’s. During the Industrial Revolution, India was considered a prized possession by the British because they supplied raw materials to the factories for production. Eventually, the British took full control of India, and made some major changes that significantly impacted India. Although the British had a negative economic impact on India, they had a positive impact on both the political and social aspects of India. The British were able to set a foundation for India, and create a justice system while containing violence, even though they had to take away some Indian rights to do so.…

    To begin with, British imperialism helped to revise the legal system in India. Several things needed to be changed therefore many reforms began to occur. The legal system changed to promote justice towards all Indians no matter their classes. They worked to put an end to the caste system and slavery once and for all. Much of the population was Hindu and followed the Hindu customs and traditions even those that were hurtful or not beneficial to society or the country of India. For example one of the Hindu customs referred to as “Sati” is a belief that a widow must join her husband in death therefore she is required to throw herself unto his funeral…

    The British East India company held India in its grasp until the Sepoy Rebellion in 1857 happened. Because of the rebellion England decided to take more control over the colony by having the actual government take root and complete control in 1857. With Britain having taken over India they turned it into a very efficient colony and maximizing its potential, while also putting controlling and racist laws to Indians and restricting them in most ways, by forcing them to farm non food crops, destroying whole industries and unneeded deaths from famines, to a massacre of peaceful protesters.…

    However, the British government intentionally created conflict between the two religious groups that made up India, causing Hindus and Muslims both to be concerned about their governmental role in the new India. In the Gandhi movie, we learn that from this tension, at least one million people died in conflict, including Gandhi himself. One million people dying in a fight that was caused by the British is anything but peaceful. Overall, these two political effects of British rule on India were negative, not positive. Indians were not represented in government, leading in civil rights oppressions (such as the right to free speech), and because the British were able to manipulate two large religions, they caused one million to die in the transition of…

    Although there was an improvement in the economy and industrialization of India through the British occupation, the negative consequences felt by the Indian population outweigh any good that they may have done. While the British resided in India, they established a social ranking complex called a caste system. The caste system divided Indian society into different sections, Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaisyas (traders, merchants, and minor officials), Sudras (unskilled workers), and the Harijans or “untouchables”, deciding power and wealth depending on which level a person belonged to (British Impact). While the people of the upper caste lived very comfortably, with money and power, the lower castes lived very tough lives in the ruts of poverty. People were not allowed to transfer or move up or down through the castes, which left the people barely scraping by without any way to improve on their lives. This had an extremely detrimental effect on society because it left generations of people stuck in poverty without any way of moving up, not to mention a whole class of people who were completely isolated. Overall, the British occupying India was completely wrong and negative, because not only did they ruin the lives of people living at that time, but for many to come as things like the caste system are still in place today. This cannot be overlooked despite anything positive…

    The predominated population of West Singhbhum is Adivasis and their society is based on an ecological awareness in which their mode of production links peoples with the biophysical environment (Jal, Jungle and Jameen). They regulate their relationship with natural resources and their relationship with the ecosystem provides them a sense of identity, unity and sense of resistance. They are intrinsically linked to their environment through different strategies, i.e. economic exchange, ceremonies, language and spiritual tradition. Adivasi are the state fleeing and challenging people (Saha, 1986). They have a powerful, distinct socio- cultural group and organization with alternative modes of the production and practices.

    Adivasi is an umbrella term for a heterogeneous set of ethnic and tribal groups claimed to be the aboriginal population of India.[1][2][3] They comprise a substantial indigenous minority of the population of India.
