Abstract
Saved dance: this phrase is a translation of the slogan naci se bdci, a phrase in Nagpuri, a regional (and Indo-Aryan, non-tribal) language of the Jharkhand region of the South Bihar plateau, an area also called Chotanagpur.' The phrase and its translation were created in 1993 Dr. Ram Dayal Munda, founder and head of the Department of Tribal and Regional Languages of Ranchi University, and former Vice-Chancellor of the University. In a 1995 conversation, he revised his earlier translation. Saved he said, implied that the people of Jharkhand (and implication the tribals in particular) need to be saved some external means. Dr. Munda now prefers He or she who dances, survives or more concisely, by dance, survive.
