Book Description
This book is a collection of primary source material on the myths and legends of origin of the tribal people of Orissa along with a section on the procedures of reading myths. This purpose of the book is twofold. First, it will try to correct the popular urban belief or the belief of the educated-elitist belief to be exact-that our tribal people are ignorant, uneducated and uncultured and that the little "culture" etc., they have the gift of the "mainstream" civilization. And second, it will attempt to bring out the richness of tribal culture, carried in their myths and legends, and to establish its antiquity in the context of the prime civilizations of the world.

Book Description
The Unwritten Literary World of Tribal Communities is nothing but the Oral Literature or Folklore. It covers stories, legends, myths, song, dances, riddles, proverbs, metaphors and such other aspects of their culture which are in their memory and handed down from generation to generation. These sources of their literary world speak of their spiritual world and the eco-system. The older persons are the store house of of their oral literature and from these sources the literary world of theirs is disseminated among the youngsters. This book gives the folklore of four tribal communities namely, the Kharias, the Oraons, the Santals and the Mundas of Orissa. The Kharias are a hunting and food gathering community, the Oraons are noted for the dance and music and the Santals are well known as hard working cultivators and skilled in wall painting, and noted for their sense of beauty. The cultural patterns of these tribal communities and their life-ways and thought-ways are different from one another as revealed in the analysis of their oral literature. Even though they lead a life full of wants and difficulties, they are very labourious and joyful by virtue of which they forget their sorrows and miseries.
