THE PATTERNS AND ORIENTATIONS OF MIGRANT TRIBAL LEADERS

Jayashree Sahu

Abstract :

The leaders of migrant tribals of Bhubaneswar city seem to be having an ambiguous identity. They are waving between two worlds–their native place and the city they have adopted. They are tied to their village by strong sentiment, and they are attracted by the facilities and opportunities provided by the city. They belong to both, and they would not choose one at the expense of the other. The leaders of slum tribals are largely self–made. Family background has not helped them. On the contrary, the tribal leaders residing outside slums have got the benefit of their family background. This is, though, an irony. Heredity, which is a function of tradition, is linked to educated and upper–status tribals leaders in the city. These leaders, viewing themselves as an upper ‘class’, hardly socialize with tribal ‘commoners’ living in the slum.
