Source: <\/b>The post is based on the article <\/span>\u201cCentre plans to document cultures, social practices of indigenous, tribal societies\u201d <\/b>published in <\/span>The Hindu <\/b>on 29th November 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n

What is the News?<\/b><\/h5>\n

The President of India has addressed a National Workshop on \u2018Janjatiya Anusandhan \u2013 Asmita, Astitva evam Vikas\u2019, held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. The workshop was organized by the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes(NCST).<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the key highlights of her address?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Firstly,<\/b> the knowledge of tribal communities needs to be included in the Indian Knowledge System(IKS). The National Education Policy is now focusing on that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, <\/b>the population of Scheduled Tribes in India is more than 10 crore. To ensure the benefits of development reach all of them and at the same time, their cultural identity should remain intact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thirdly,<\/b> history tells us that tribal society never accepted slavery. They were always at the forefront of retaliating against any attack on the country. Struggles and sacrifices in many revolts such as Santhal, Hul, Kol, Birsa, Bhil movement by tribal communities across the country can inspire all the citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

What steps are being taken by NCST to preserve Tribal Culture?<\/b><\/h5>\n

The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes(NCST) along with the Union government is now pushing for the \u201cre-documentation\u201d of the cultures and social practices of indigenous and tribal societies in India.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is because the existing scholarly literature on tribals is heavily reliant on the body of knowledge created by the colonizing government.<\/span><\/p>\n

The re-documentation will enable the government to understand tribal societies, identity and rights better.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
