Abstract

Abujh Maria tribe maintain their social solidarity and ethnic identity through this age-old institution. However, the agents and institutions who have played an important role in the transformation of the Ghotul system are the modern educational institution's administrative functionaries like block level officials, health and ICDS workers and their participation in the democratic process of the Panchayat Raj System. Now a day’s Sarpanch and Sachiv play a major role in the power structure of the village. Migration of Dandami Maria to the Abujh Mar Hills, the Naxalite movement and above all market economy has its own role to play in the process. The paper seeks to highlight some of these dynamics in the said tribal community.
