Introducing adivaani’s new Board of Trustees and Advisers

boardoftrustees

adivaani has in the last two and a half years travelled far and wide; covering more ground than planned, connecting with more people than anticipated and have had associations and networks open unexpected doors. At the end of the year as we pause to catch some breath we realise we have to consolidate all that we have worked for and towards and make every experience count.

We’ve been fortunate to have the commitment of three individuals to contribute to this journey— Impsupenla Ozükum and Judith Herenz.

So we continue to urge you to support us as you’ve been doing—write, phone or drop in and keep your involvement with us going. So feel free to contact me.

NEW BOOK: Adi-dharam, the religious beliefs of the Adivasis of India

CoverLow

Ram Dayal Munda’s Adi-dharam is an important text highlighting and questioning the religious identity of the Adivasis, contributing to the effort of reconstruction of the religious aspect of that heritage, a process that he started during his lifetime.

In it’s third edition now, co-published with BIRSA and sarini, Adi-dharam is available for your reading and consideration.

We hope for you to engage through this book with the vision elucidated by an Adivasi figure as significant as Ram Dayal Munda.

adivaani is going to the International Frankfurt Book Fair 2014!

German Consulate

adivaani has been invited to the most prestigious book fair in the world. We are really excited about this. Ruby will be representing us there and we hope she brings more good news from Germany in October.

In the meantime, suggestions and proposals of what to do at the International Frankfurt Book Fair 2014 are more than welcome.

Thanks to the Consul General Reiner Schmiedchen, Vice Consul Lena Schwarm Dantas and everyone at the German Consulate in Kolkata.

Adivasi PICKLE: the second edition of our writing prize is here

Adivasi Pickle

It’s that time of the year again—to come together as a community of Indigenous peoples and join the world in celebrating one day in our honor—9th August.

adivaani wants to commemorate this occasion by serving the second portion of Adivasi Pickle.

Pickle is the perfect accompaniment to spice up any spread and the one key element common to every Indian kitchen and palate.

How about some Adivasi pickle? A pickle made of indigenous ways and thinking—the perfect accompaniment to our present—with ingredients that help us understand how our ancestral ways have preserved and sustained the earth, until newer ways dismissed them as primitive and we became a resource to be extracted, exploited and ignored. Ingredients that help refurbish traditions and knowledge webs, and ensure our future.

adivaani is therefore calling Adivasis to share more about ourselves. We’ve instituted a small prize of a book, out of love, on the International Day for the World’s Indigenous Peoples, August 9th, 2014. We’re short on what we can give, but we’re long on good wishes, hope and solidarity: you write, we publish. That’s the deal!

We believe the time for us to do things our own way is now. We want this event to be a celebration of a communion of, by and for Adivasis—right from our sisters and brothers sharing and chronicling their personal narratives, to the publisher, not forgetting the jury formed of Adivasi intellectuals, scholars and artisans.

Join us, spread the word and…
