Adivasi Identity and Cultural Autonomy; Adivasiyat

283
Writings dealing with fundamental questions of Adivasi identity, the distinctiveness of Adivasi cultural traditions, languages, and literatures, sometimes referred to as "Adivasiyat" (or Adivasi-dom). 
 
Some of these will be framed specifically with respect to individual tribal communities (i.e., Naga identity; Kharia identity; etc.), not necessarily pan-ethnic "Adivasiyat." Easterine Kire, for instance, is particularly interested in the history and culture of Naga people, not necessarily in pan-ethnic Adivasiyat. By contrast, the journalist Gladson Dungdung has specifically engaged with the concept of Adivasiyat in articles like "The Decline of Adivasiyat and the Battle for Identity."
