Item description from seller

Language: English. This book is an anthropological account of the tribe, Ho in Orissa. The Ho have migrated from the neighbouring districts of Bihar and are settled in Mayurbhanj district of Orissa. They continue to live amidst other local tribal populations like the Santal, Bathudi and Kharia etc. and most of the times in multiethnic villages, Basically the Ho are settled agriculturists and have stepped into industrial labour in recent times. "The book, a monograph in the real sense, consists of social organisation, economic pursuits, political organization, religion and rituals of the Ho in Orissa." The ongoing developmental programmes and their effects in one block, which was studied intensively, have been described also; and finally, the remarkable changes in various facets of their life are brought out. An endeavour in this study has been made to record the traditional Ho culture in Orissa, and the forces that change it through time. About The Author: Kamal Kant Mishra (b. 1954), currently Lecturer in Anthropology at Utkal University, was educated at Utkal and Jawaharlal Nehru Universities under many illustrious teachers in Anthropology and Sociology. With a bright academic career, he joined the PostGraduate Teaching Department of Anthropology at Utkal University in 1978 as Lecturer, and continuing there since then. He has been teaching a wide range of subjects including Anthropological Thought, Human Ecology and Culture Studies of South and South East Asia. Although the present one is his first book, he has contributed a number of research articles to many Anthropological and Sociological Journals both in India and abroad.
