Description

Abstract: The kharia tribe arrived in India from Central Asia.  Their habitat in India became the intermediate region of India.  In the long journey of almost hundreds of years, their civilization and culture also developed.  Gotra(clan), Nate Ristedari (relationship)customs developed in the kharia tribe.  Their history is hidden in their folk songs.  Kharia society was considered very prosperous in its early period.  As they settled there, they cleaned the forests and created arable land.  Periods and circumstances forced them to migrate from one place to another.  In the British rule and zamindari system, the land was plundered by the kharia.  This sequence continues even today.  Due to the absence of major means of income, their prosperity gradually decreased.  Even after the independence of the country, they remained deprived of government schemes.  With the advent of other societies, their identity started getting diluted.  Their culture, language and their history came under identity crisis.  In such a situation, seeing the existence of its existence, kharia society has done the work of organizing itself as kharia mahasabha.

Keywords: Kharia, Gotra, Folklore, kharia Mahadoklo, jharkhand.
