In this world of devastating, unsustainable and rising inequalities, facing a climate crisis and a global deficit of care, we desperately need to rethink how we live and what we value. So, it is wonderful and important to feature indigenous values and ways of life, as we have a great deal to learn from them, not just for the future of India, but for the future of the world. Too often, indigenous communities- like the Adivasis in India- have been cast out from the society as ‘wild’, ‘savage’ and, of course, very poor. But, in fact, many such indigenous people are communities of unfathomable riches that extend beyond crude measures of GDP or income or assets. Adivasi wealth lies in the values they hold, the ways they lead their lives with each other, the kind of communities they build. With just three examples, by considering art, the environment and gender relations in indigenous communities, this point would be clear. Travelling through the forests of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh or Odisha, it is hard not to have our breath taken away by the wonders of these regions- this is not only for the beauty of these forests but for the Adivasi villages therein, which are incredibly clean and picturesque. Further, in these villages, art is not the preserve of elites for exhibition- one can see art in the craftsmanship of a teak door, in the cheery swirls of the hand-painting upon mud walls. One can hear it in the song of monsoon rain drops playing on handmade roof. One can feel it in the linking of arms in the village dancing circle, people singing together and playing drums. Art here is joy, created by everyone for everyone, encompassing life itself. The indigenous worldview around the environment is similar. The environment is not perceived as a commodity to be exploited, harvested and conquered, but it is instead a commons to be enjoyed and shared by all. There is no separation between nature and culture. The ancestors inhabit the waters, the forests and the landscape. And those who have passed have to be cared for, or they would get angry and unleash the forces of the environment. Adivasis therefore deeply nurture and protect the environment around them as our commonwealth, a bridge between the ancestors and those who will follow us after. Equally remarkable is the indigenous perspective on gender relations. What is so extraordinary about these forest areas is the much greater status, respect and freedom women within these have as compared to their counterparts in the agricultural plains. Women danced and drank homemade brew, rice beer and wine made from the mahua flower alongside men. Indigenous women worked outside their homes and they often held the strings of the purse as well. Women had the freedom to leave bad relationships or start new ones without being ostracised. In some ways, indigenous women had many of the freedoms that feminists have so long fought for and that are so hard to find in much of India.
Q. Which of the following is true regarding the women of indigenous community?
  • a)
    They have much greater status and freedom than men within their community.
  • b)
    It is common for them to drink beverages like beer and wine along with men.
  • c)
    They could leave a relationship if it doesn’t suit them and could get ostracised for starting a new one.
  • d)
    The freedom that indigenous women enjoy today is the result of a long fight that feminists have fought for them.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Relationships are how we relate to others. We have relationships with everyone we know and those who are close to us. Each and every interaction we have with another person is the act of relating. If we have a problem relating to others, it affects our ability to have supportive relationships. We have to ask ourselves if our relationships are supportive, and if they are not, then ask why they are not,Everyone wants the perfect romance or marriage, but not everyone looks at the mechanics of how to have one. If we fail to have supportive relationships in our life, how can we have the "perfect love" relationships? Through the act of supporting, we honour and validate who the other person is.This is turn, validates who we are. So, both are supported; no one loses; no egos are involved; and, so doing, we honour the relationship.This is what it means to have a supportive relationship. This is the desired goal. Now, how do we accomplish it?Our conduct patterns, 'positive' or 'negative' get set as we grow up. In order to clear a problem, one must identify the original cause which created a behavioral pattern, move through the experience of that situation and experience the emotions associated with it.The healing process is a time when we must love the self. If we beat up the self about the experience which had caused us harm or our past reaction to it, then we cannot heal. In being loving to the self, we validate what we had experienced at that time.Our emotions are always valid. So, it is important for us to do this self-validation in order to heal. Love is the energy which helps us heal-whether we give this love to ourselves or receive it from another.Loving relations start with the self. When we look at having supportive relationship in our life, why not start with the self?Because that is where love comes from. This is what transforms our relationships and our lives. We must love the self first. And we cannot do that until we have healed and become whole. Spiritually we must rise, and our spiritual quotient must be high.For, it is not about what we can receive from love, but what we can contribute or give to love. The more we give, the more are the returns.Q. How can we honour relationships?

So, it is wonderful and important to feature indigenous values and ways of life, as we have a great deal to learn from them, not just for the future of India, but for the future of the world. Too often, indigenous communities- like the Adivasis in India- have been cast out from the society as ‘wild’, ‘savage’ and, of course, very poor. But, in fact, many such indigenous people are communities of unfathomable riches that extend beyond crude measures of GDP or income or assets. Adivasi wealth lies in the values they hold, the ways they lead their lives with each other, the kind of communities they build. With just three examples, by considering art, the environment and gender relations in indigenous communities, this point would be clear. Travelling through the forests of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh or Odisha, it is hard not to have our breath taken away by the wonders of these regions- this is not only for the beauty of these forests but for the Adivasi villages therein, which are incredibly clean and picturesque. Further, in these villages, art is not the preserve of elites for exhibition- one can see art in the craftsmanship of a teak door, in the cheery swirls of the hand-painting upon mud walls. One can hear it in the song of monsoon rain drops playing on handmade roof. One can feel it in the linking of arms in the village dancing circle, people singing together and playing drums. Art here is joy, created by everyone for everyone, encompassing life itself. The indigenous worldview around the environment is similar. The environment is not perceived as a commodity to be exploited, harvested and conquered, but it is instead a commons to be enjoyed and shared by all. There is no separation between nature and culture. The ancestors inhabit the waters, the forests and the landscape. And those who have passed have to be cared for, or they would get angry and unleash the forces of the environment. Adivasis therefore deeply nurture and protect the environment around them as our commonwealth, a bridge between the ancestors and those who will follow us after. Equally remarkable is the indigenous perspective on gender relations. What is so extraordinary about these forest areas is the much greater status, respect and freedom women within these have as compared to their counterparts in the agricultural plains. Women danced and drank homemade brew, rice beer and wine made from the mahua flower alongside men. Indigenous women worked outside their homes and they often held the strings of the purse as well. Women had the freedom to leave bad relationships or start new ones without being ostracised. In some ways, indigenous women had many of the freedoms that feminists have so long fought for and that are so hard to find in much of India.Q. Which of the following is true regarding the women of indigenous community?a)They have much greater status and freedom than men within their community.b)It is common for them to drink beverages like beer and wine along with men.c)They could leave a relationship if it doesn’t suit them and could get ostracised for starting a new one.d)The freedom that indigenous women enjoy today is the result of a long fight that feminists have fought for them.Correct answer is option 'B'.
