Nancy Ekka iii ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to measure the IMPACT of MODERNISATION on the RELIGIOUS customs and traditions of the tribals residing in Rourkela. The study was confined to the four major tribes, viz. K isan, Oraon, Kharia and Mundas, who reside in different settlements located in Rourkela. A major issue that the study reveals is the large-scale IMPACT of MODERNISATION and urbanisation on indigenous TRIBAL areas of Rourkela that is rapidly eroding the age-old customs and traditions of the TRIBAL groups.

5 The government policy of industrializing remote areas has led to the emergence of high-tech industries and MODERNISATION in the TRIBAL belts. The first and major IMPACT which TRIBAL population faces is in the shape of loss of TRIBAL identity through the establishment of industries that brings in development in the form of technology and its concurrent side-effects. TRIBAL customs and traditions come under pressure, due to contact with the town culture and a consequent change in the attitudes of the tribals in Rourkela can be seen. It can be seen that TRIBAL religions are no longer in practice and dominant religions like Christianity and Hinduism have taken their place.

6 Magical cures and herbs that the tribals practiced are considered archaic today. TRIBAL crafts and cultivation have also steadily declined. Yet, on the converse side, the benefits of MODERNISATION also cannot be ignored which has aided the tribals from exploitation and provided them better living condition including education and health care. iv CONTENTS Page no CERTIFICATE i ACNOWLEDGEMENT ii ABSTRACT iii CONTENTS iv-v LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES vi CHAPTER-1 1-11 INTRODUCTION 1-11 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 3 RESEARC H PROBLEM 5 RESEARC H OBJECTIVES 9 RESEARC H QUESTIONS 9 DEFINATION OF KEY TERMS 9 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY 10 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY 10 ORGANISATION OF THE THESIS CHAPTER-2 11 12-15 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK 12-15 CHAPTER-3 16-17

10 The name tribe refers to a category of people and designates a step of development in human society. As a type of society the term signifies a set of typical features and as a point of advancement it cannotes a definite form of social organisation. (Behura, 1990). TRIBAL population is found in almost all parts of India and Odisha claims to be the second largest leading TRIBAL state in the country. About 68 million people of the state of India are members of Scheduled Tribes and one of the most studied TRIBAL religions is that of Odisha (Census 2011). O f all the states of India, Odisha has the largest number of tribes, as many as 62. Tribals of Odisha are known as Adivasis, Vanabasis, and Girijanas.
