Traditional Occupation: A Comparative Study Amont the Deoris of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Change is the nature of life, and hence modifications take place in every human society and culture; and the Deoris are of no exception. The Deoris are known for their expertise in priestly works since time immemorial and traditionally are paddy cultivators. They have their own distinct socio-cultural identity and till date they have been preserving these to a great extent without much change. In Madhupur, significant transformations have been found to be taken place in the socio-economic life of the Deoris due to natural catastrophe; while in Mahadevpur it is quite traditional. This paper gives an overview about the changing occupations of the Deoris of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. It also tries to explore the probable reasons responsible for occupational deviation and its consequences.
