About the Book
This book is a report of a study on the life of old tribal community called Juang living in the Gonasika hills of Keonjhar district of Odisha. The book presents the data collected by the scholar cum author Dr. Srikanta Dash on their life, living and values. Most of the aged Juangs, being inviolably rooted in body, mind, and soul on Gonasika, experience atonement with the romantic ecology of Gonasika. But are they happy? Are they pining for something beyond their environmental aesthetics? Read this book to understand the agonies and angst of a community still othered and smothered by various forces of nature and social prejudice.
