TRANSLATING WRITINGS OF INDIGENOUS POETS OF JHARKHAND: GAINING ACCESS TO VALUABLE KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS

Abstract

The traditional beliefs of the indigenous community have always perplexed the light on nature and environment, but the modernized world has transgressed their beliefs because the sources of the translation world have remained very minimal and thus, the concepts conceived are sometimes vague and also rigid to understand. And since, the word literacy does not always confine itself to the art of symbols, signs and languages but also elongates to the root of cultural distinctiveness, it's knowledge and translation. This research paper named, "" is built upon the oblivion of cultural knowledge provided by the indigenous population of Jharkhand. The objective of this research will be to focus on the writings of Indigenous authors of Jharkhand namely Jacinta Kerketta, Sushma Asur, and Anuj Lugun, in their languages Oraon, Asur, Munda and Santhal respectively. These authors have always advocated the significance of waterbodies, land, forests and the identity of the indigenous people. They often reiterate the need to treasure cultural and traditional values.
