Item description from seller

Contents Preface. 1. Ethnography of communication and the tribe. 2. Background information land and people. 3. The forms communication traditional and modern. 4. The communication agents. 5. Communication in subsistence economy. 6. Communication in social/cultural context. 7. Cultural communication language. 8. Network of communication process continuity and change. 9. Summary conclusions and suggestions for development. Bibliography. Appendix tables. Though like the other tribes Santals are featured as inward looking and ethnocentric they are incidentally one of the most articulative tribes in Eastern India. In the past they had been migrated from their homeland Santalpargana to different adjoining districts of Eastern Indian states. Since then they started articulating with the non tribals of the three separate speech zones like West Bengal Jharkhand (the then Bihar) and Orissa. In this changing situation they are happened to be the new settlers and are to face day to day intensed interaction with the inhabitants of the larger group of these zones. They become one of the participants of the greater communication system of the larger group. But the lesser communication system of their own found to be actively functioning juxtaposed till today. They are thus found to have been maintaining a balance between the two systems of communication the native traditional system of their own and the non native modern and act as a successful communicative operator by their articulative competence. The present book deals with the nature and structure of the communication system of the Santals of Birbhum district of West Bengal in Eastern India closely adjacent to the Santalpargana. The research was made among 5436 individuals living 25 villages in 7 GPs of the district. The book containing about 130 pages including cover and title and 86 tables and charts and diagrams comes out from an in depth field research useful to the students of cultural anthropology sociology rural development mass communication and national integration. 118 pp.
