A Study of National Integration and cultural ritual adaptation

Abstract The only change is felt after the advent and arrival of British-English missionaries to India. They found the culture of upper-caste dominance quite shocking, and alien that thoroughly shocked them. Due to this reason, they started doing their holy work of educating the poor masses of the country by introducing them to the English education through the establishment of English missionary schools in the most deprived and remote areas and geographical locations of the country. One of the most deprived, isolated and disillusioned community like the tribal that we know by the ST category stay in the traditional and natural dwellings among the dense forests were benefited. Instead of hating and condemning the cultural aspects like food habits, dress-codes and cultural ritual practices of the marginalized commoners, they start to look at them with humble sensibility. They acknowledged this phenomenon as a call of God and the command of God. Still, not even these English missionaries to put the sense of confidence started sharing the food, wearing the living with the indigenous culture of India by adapting and adopting all the cultural artefacts. The marginalized communities have been denied the right to get an education since the advent of the Aryan race in India, reason being they considered education divine that’s why everyone could not have access to the education or specifically Dalit Bahujan were forcefully kept away from the educational sector. Even they never allowed Moolniwasi to have basic needs fulfilled. Caste Hindus felt threatened with the arrival of British missionaries with the opening of English schools for the marginalized people of the country, and this phenomenon worked as a setback for the Brahmanism. There were some Dalits those who were able to decode the conspiracy of caste-Hindus that’s why they found lots of similarity between western culture and indigenous culture of India that is none other than of dalit-bahujan.
