SUMMARY:International Conference on Ethnicity\, Identity and Nationalism in
  Indigenous Literature
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Literature is grounded on the imperfect understandin
 g of the pith and core of the social concern of the indigenous people. Ind
 igenous literature has played a significant role as a powerful tool for cu
 ltural expression\, identity formation\, and promotion of intercultural di
 alogue. However\, the ingenious portrayal of characters in various literar
 y genres gives a varied picture of society. One strategic aspect of ethnic
 ity in tribal literature is portraying cultural practices\, customs\, and
  traditions specific to a particular\nethnic group. The unmistakable depic
 tion of ethnic and linguistic dimensions in literature gives rise to a sen
 se of assertion. Various indigenous ethnic groups aspire to live in their 
 world with pride and dignity. The literary works provide a platform to cel
 ebrate the richness and diversity of indigenous cultures\, fostering a sen
 se of pride and identity within the community.\nHowever\, Indigenous peopl
 e try to keep their cultural and personal identity intact and claim to be 
 one\, unlike others. Identity in tribal literature is the central and recu
 rring motif that explores the complex interplay between individual and col
 lective identities within indigenous communities. Tribal literature explor
 es the multifaceted aspects of identity\, including cultural\, ethnic\, li
 nguistic\, and ancestral connections\, as well as the impact of external i
 nfluences such as colonization and globalization. During the colonial peri
 od\, when the nationalistic spirit was very high and individual identity w
 as trampled under feet\, some ethnic groups emerged to voice their dissent
  against all discrimination. Literature of the time echoes the quest of th
 e indigenous people for their identity. However\, during the nineteenth ce
 ntury\, which was marked by a growing tide of nationalism within Europe an
 d colonial\nexpansion overseas\, Indigenous literature emerged. The indige
 nous people's loyalty\, devotion and allegiance towards the nation are ref
 lected in the literature of the tribal. The ethnic groups have shown their
  obligation to the nation and society by sacrificing their lives. History 
 is the mute witness of all of this sacrifice. Nationalism in tribal litera
 ture explores the intersection between tribal identities and the concept o
 f national belonging. Tribal literature delves into the complexities and t
 ensions surrounding the relationship between indigenous communities and th
 e nation-state where they live.\n\nNevertheless\, the Conference purports 
 to explore how tribal literature represents and challenges the prevailing 
 notions of ethnicity and nationality\, highlighting the diverse perspectiv
 es and experiences of different tribal groups. Additionally\, it aims to h
 ighlight the impact of colonization\, globalization\, and modernization on
  tribal identity as depicted in literary texts. It will further investigat
 e and hash out the role of indigenous language and writing in preserving c
 ultural heritage and fostering a sense of belonging. It will help the broa
 der understanding of the significance of tribal literature as a powerful t
 ool for artistic expression\, identity formation\, and the promotion of in
 tercultural dialogue. It will also bring forth the nationalistic feeling o
 f the tribal through the discussion of indigenous literary texts. Discussi
 ons on the aforesaid areas will undoubtedly enrich the participants to a\n
 great deal.\n\n[fusion_builder_column align_self="auto" content_layout="co
