How Modernization Affects the Gadaba Tribe’s Cultural Ecology

Author(s) Mr. Jagatray Sutapadia, Dr. Nabin Kumar Khara
Country India
Abstract The Gadaba tribe has resided in the Eastern Ghats for hundreds of years. They used to live in harmony with nature and follow rituals that were beneficial for the environment, just like other tribes. These kinds of things don’t happen as much anymore because of modernization. This modernization has significantly impacted people’s lives, as well as culture, agriculture, and ecological intelligence. Economic changes primarily affected the Gadaba tribe, but they also faced cultural upheavals, environmental changes, and urbanization. The loss of subsistence farming in the area has taken away local crops, making the loss of biodiversity even worse. The net outcome is less food security, more trashy soil, and less fertility. Also, governments that limit shifting cultivation have made it harder for tribal tribes to do traditional farming, which has led to more deforestation and land encroachments for infrastructure, which has cut off access to plants and herbs. Change can also result in cultural erosion, which is difficult to address. Globalization has nearly eradicated the Gadaba language, yet young people continue to adopt Western-style lifestyles. Despite the dire circumstances, there remains hope for the revival of tribal traditions and the protection of ecosystems. Promoting ecotourism, sustainable farming, and the tribal craft business can help keep a balance between development and culture preservation. To help indigenous communities stay modern, resilient, and self-sufficient, it’s crucial to understand Gadaba traditions in today’s world.
