Juang Culture in Odisha’s Tribe by Dr. Ajay Kumar Sahooijtsrd
The Juang culture within the tribal communities of Odisha is a rich tapestry of traditions, rituals, and customs that reflect the unique identity and heritage of the Juang people. This abstract delves into an exploration of the socio cultural aspects shaping the Juang community, offering insights into their lifestyle, belief systems, and interactions with the natural environment. The Juang tribes, predominantly residing in the hilly regions of Odisha, exhibit a close relationship with nature, relying on traditional agricultural practices and sustainable resource utilization. This paper highlights the significance of their traditional knowledge in agriculture, showcasing how it intertwines with their cultural expressions. Rituals and ceremonies, deeply rooted in their belief systems, play a pivotal role in shaping social cohesion and identity within the Juang community. Furthermore, the paper examines the impact of external influences and modernization on Juang culture. As globalization and development initiatives reach these remote areas, the paper reflects on how these changes may pose challenges to the preservation of the Juang heritage. It also explores the strategies employed by the Juang people to navigate this delicate balance between tradition and adaptation. Ultimately, this paper aims to provide a glimpse into the nuanced and dynamic world of Juang culture, shedding light on the cultural resilience and adaptation strategies employed by this tribal community in the face of evolving socio economic landscapes. Through this exploration, it contributes to a broader understanding of the diversity and vibrancy of indigenous cultures in Odisha.

1. The Buksa of Bijnor
The Buksa is a Himalayan tribal group that inhabits the terai areas of Bijnor district of Uttar
Pradesh. The Buksa people are also referred to as Mehre or Mehra in Dehradun district. One of the early
references to the tribe in literature is that of G.R.C. Williams in Memoirs of Dehradun (1874) wherein he
calls them ‘Mehra’, the ‘great eater of fish and drinker of spirits’. Crooke (1896) has mentioned a legend
according to which the Buksa came from Dakhin, while others have specifically stated that they migrated
from Delhi. Nag and Roy Burman (1974) trace the etymology of the word ‘Buksa’ to a legend describing
the conquest over the cannibals (bhakshi) in the terai; thus they came to be known as ‘Buksa’, i.e. the
killers of bhakshi. The other view is that in Hindi language the word ‘ban’ means forest and ‘bonk’ means
forest dwellers, and the combination of the two words, ‘ban-bonk’ might have given rise to the
nomenclature of ‘Buksa or Bhuksa’ (Nag and Roy Burman 1974). A section of the Buksa also claims
descent from the royal family of Raja Jagatdeo, a famous warrior of Rajasthan, who on being defeated by
the Mughals fled to the terai foothills. Some others believe that their ancestor was Udaijit, a Panwar
Rajput. Many Buksas consider themselves to be Kushvanshi Rajputs. Yet another legend is that the Buksa
and their neighbours—the Tharus—believe that their roots can be traced back to the female counterpart of
the royal family. Their belief is that the ruler of Tarai was defeated by some invaders in the ancient past.
After the defeat, the women of the royal family in order to save their honour from the invaders took shelter
in the forests. Their attendants who were Chamars and Sais had accompanied them, and intermarriage with
these men, gave rise to two distinct groups, i.e., the Tharu and the Buksa, the former being descendants of
the Chamars and the latter from the Sais.
Cultural Profile of the Buksa
Until around 1997, the Buksa villages were exclusively inhabited by the Buksa people and were isolated.
Now other communities like the Muslims and Kumauni Pahari have also started living in their villages.
However, the Buksa houses are found in clusters even in these multi-ethnic villages. In Dehradun, the
Buksa are also known as Mehra Rajput, and even today, they have no objection to being identified with
this name, as they perceive that they are Rajputs. The Buksa speak Buxuari dialect, and now a days, they
speak Hindi also. Most of their folk songs are in Buxuari dialect, which is their mother tongue.
Changes in the Constitutional Status of the Buksa
In the year 1950, the Buksa were categorized as a Scheduled Caste (SC), while in the year 1956, they were
deleted from the Scheduled Caste category and were placed under the Backward Class category of the
state. Later in June 1967 they were categorized as a Scheduled Tribe (ST) and thereafter in the year 1981
they were placed in the list of PVTGs. In the year 1983-4, Special Central Assistance (SCA) was provided
for the Buksa of the plain districts which was extended to the Buksa of hill region in the year 1984-5. A
special office was set-up during the 8th Five Year Plan to solve the problems of land alienation and allied
problems of the PVTGs. Establishment of primary schools, hand-pumps, bio-gas plants, distribution of
iodized salt, providing cattle, agricultural subsidies, etc.,
Physical Features
There is a high incidence of blood group ‘B’ among the Buksa followed by ‘A’ and then ‘O’ (Yadav,
Pathi, and Purkait 2003). On the basis of somato-metric measurements, researchers are of the view that
Buksa are preponderantly Mongoloid people who have assimilated certain physical features of the Rajputs
(Yadav and Patni 2004). The Buksa have a height around 5 feet 6 inches, stout stature, small eyes with the
opening of eyelids being narrow, linear and horizontal, the face being very broad across the cheekbones,
and nose being flat, a classical description that fits ‘Mongoloid characteristics’
2. Social Organization and Religion
The Buksa people are divided into several exogamous clans (gotra). While most of their clans do not
appear to be associated with any mythical ancestor, some Buksas of the Kumaon division trace their clan to
‘Khera’, a traditional hamlet which used to be a political unit having a headmen (pradhan) and a shaman
(bharare). Thus, for example, the Buksa of Jogipura Khera belong to Jogipura clan. It is also believed
among the Buksa that the Muswani gotra is derived from the word ‘Mussalman’ (Muslim) and such Buksa
are believed to be originally Muslims who assimilated into the Buksa community with the passage of time.
Livelihood
The traditional and primary occupations of the Buksa are agriculture and animal husbandry. The subsidiary
occupations are wage labour, etc.
Health and Diseases
The common diseases among the Buksa of bijnor are fever, stomach disorder, tuberculosis and body pains.
Likewise, the common diseases reportedly prevalent among the Buksa of Bijnor are stomach disorder and
body pains. The other high occurrences of diseases/illness are headache, ear, nose and throat problems, and
skin diseases.
