Includes bibliography

The present book focuses on some important aspects of the tribal and folk traditions like ‘Yatra’ of West Odisha. The role of co-existence in bringing about cultural changes in rural and tribal areas has been discussed in the perspective of 'tribe-caste interaction', 'tribal-non-tribal interaction' and 'little tradition – great tradition'. Besides relating the revivalism of tribal and folk
the tradition to the emerging local socio-economic-political aspirations of the elite and the persistence of the tribal and folk tradition, the author has also tried to establish the distinctiveness of this yatra tradition through tribe-caste and tribal-non-tribal interactions over centuries
