Adivasi Wisdom
Western wisdom and society are based on the notion of the primacy of the individual. Indigenous Wisdom is profoundly different: in the indigenous approach to reality each person is first and foremost a part of the tribe, and the tribe is an aspect of the natural world.
Adivasi Languages
Being the victim of internal colonialism, the Adivasii languages are going through a period of identity crisis. In fact the question of cultural identity and existence of indigenous society is deeply interlinked with the enrichment of indigenous languages.
Adivasi Literature
Indigenous literature, if you want to use that label for convenience’s sake, holds many if not all of the beliefs, philosophies, worldviews of Indigenous people; it holds a history. So that Aboriginal literature really is the heart of Aboriginal being."
