The Influence of Globalization over Tribal Culture, Education and Health in Jharkhand

Abstract

The present study is intended to explore the study of tribal education and culture of Jharkhand. The researcher has taken sample of tribal from East Singhbhum and West Singhbhum. The Tribal people are a vulnerable sections living in natural condition keeping their own values, customs and beliefs. They considered land and blood as homologous. Their society, culture, religion, identity and their very existence were ultimately linked to the land they held. Whenever there was any attempt to separate them from their land they became restless and even took up arms to safeguard it. Socially the majority of Indian tribal are still tradition bound and are in a disadvantageous position. Since globalisation is opening up the Indian economy suddenly at a very high speed, without the required economic and social policies to provide the much required safety net, tribal who have been involved with production in the traditional ways, have to cope with numerous problems and yet try to avail of the opportunities which an open economy promises.
