Explore the complex lives and survival strategies of Orissa’s tribals and dalits from 1800-1950 in Biswamoy Pati’s insightful posthumous work, available at The Bookish Owl. This crucial study moves beyond ‘extraordinary’ protests to reveal the hidden complexities of resistance and endurance within these marginalized communities. Discover how colonial policies and princely states exacerbated poverty, impacting tribal and dalit lives through knowledge systems, ‘criminal tribe’ classifications, and agrarian settlements. Pati examines adivasi resistance, indigenous health practices, the colonial ‘medical gaze,’ conversions, caste formation, and the rise of colonial capitalism and urbanization. Understand their connection to the national movement and the unresolved inherited problems even after Independence. A vital read for anyone interested in social history, resistance, and Indian marginalized communities.
