Exclusion and Inclusion of Tribes in Satyajit Ray's Cinema
Abstract
The Adivasis or original inhabitants of India occupy more than 8% of India's total population and contribute a rich cultural inheritance in the Indian cultural milieu. In large part of Central, East-Central, and North-Eastern India, the so-called mainstream people have intensive contact with the tribal people. They keep feelings of hatred in their mind about these tribes. This hateful and annoying attitude of the larger society towards tribal people has been inevitably reflected in the literature, art, and other expressive media of the so-called higher community. Film media also, though in a limited range, evidently reflects such feelings, such attitudes. Parallel cinema sometimes brings up the life of the forest dwellers and Dalits. Such movies mainly focus on backward peoples' struggle for survival and unbearable exploitation of their life. However, tribal people are rarely portrayed accurately, and whenever it happens, the view of the upper-class people towards the backward tribes become prominent.
