SUMMARY:Symposium on Hindu Vanavasi Traditions
DESCRIPTION:The word Hindu has been used by the outsiders to Bharat \, in reference to the entire culture complex in Bharat that included the Vedic\, Buddhist\, Jain\, Naagara (City-dwelling)\, Jaanapada (Village dwelling) \, Vanavasi (Forest dwelling) Paarvata (Hill-dwelling)\, Maarga (Classical)\, Desi (Local) etc\, intermingling and intricately interwoven with each other yet maintaining their individual identities. The word has always been used in reference to the features that are shared by all these components\, strands and traditions. \nIn contrast to the other parts of the world\, where indigenous cultures did not survive the expansion of monotheistic forces\, the forest dwelling cultures of India survived essentially because of the shared nature friendly\,environmentalist and hence diversity centric worldview of all these components\, strands and traditions. \nAncient Indian poetic and artistic texts like Itihasas\, Puranas and Kavyas on the one hand and discursive literature such as Artha Shastra provide testimony to this mutual friendliness between Vanavasi and Naagara cultures. \nThere are numerous historical evidences for the Vanavasi communities moving from isolation in forests to association in villages\, rising to ruling position through their valour and for ruling Naagara communities moving into forests and adapting to the environment as Vanavasi cultures. \nThere are evidences also of Vanavasi Hindu traditions contributing to the fight against foreign invasions both through their physical valor and cultural resistance. \nToday\, certain forces are downplaying this shared\, unifying and interweaving Hindu aspects of these components\, strands and traditions and are trying to separate them\, particularly the forest dwelling cultures\, terming them as non-Hindu. \nIt is in this context that INDICA is organizing a symposium to highlight the shared Hindu aspects of the Vanavasi traditions of Bharat. \nThe symposium will be held online on Saturday\, 27th of August\, 2022. \n  \n::Schedule::\n\n\n\n#\nName\nTitle\nTimings\n\n\n1\nDr. Nagaraj Paturi\nWelcome Address & Introduction\n9.30am to 9.45am\n\n\n2\nDr. Satyanarayana Dyavanapalli\nAncient Indian Religion and Tribals\n9.45am to 10.15am\n\n\n3\nDr. P.
