SUMMARY AND REVIEW

hi
This time I will be discussing on my topic tribals, rural and folk minds. In following paragraph I would like to share some of the ideas about a kannada movie called BHOOMI GEETHA, which is state award movie. later I will discuss on the first chapter of the book written by chitrasen pasayat.

As I already mentioned that I would began with summary of the movie, which according me a beginning for my future discussion of the topic. BHOOMI GITA (1997), released in karnataka as won state awards, cast atul kulkarni, vinay prasad, and other theatre artist, music illayaraja, director haravu kesari.

Movie is an narration of the displacement of the tribal group living in southern karnataka near to the bank of river thungabhadra, the government officials who come over their to construct a dam across the river, which effects the living of the tribal community. The clashes and the troubles of tribal group is pictorically narrated in the movie. The movie depicts the psychological, social, economic and political arena of the tribal group. It shows the daily living of the tribals, their culture, art, traditions, rituals and the system where they will be dependent on the nature. the movie also depicts the difference between the tribal system, closer villages to the tribal group their communication witht he tribes, an rural system and the relationship with government official, where it shows the three different categories of the people, at the end of the movie tribes will be displaced because of their own ritualistic traditions. which is nicely depicted in the movie. Some of the major points which I am interested share through this summary is how movie as given an identity are explained the tribals. The movie depicts the TRIBALS as nomadic, barbaric and still in an infant state of society. the sociological theory of evolution of society explains nomadic society is the beginning of the evolution of society. Even still dependent on the barter system of earning some of the practices as hunting to mary a girl, not using slippers inside their region of living. such things are very interested and raise the questions about the tribal mind settings. what is that made them to come up with their own way of their living? which is different from urban and as well as rural which are closer to them. this also raise question about the evolutionary psychology of man. movie perspective it is very simple and self explanatory movie. sociologically it raise lots of question and kind of revolutionary movie against SEZs and other government policy. psychologically that i would look into the movie as a key to define the tribes, understand their behavior through their everyday life practices, rituals, costomes and behavior.
