My Fulbright-Nehru research project will:
1) collect oral stories and idioms, gather data about practices, beliefs and
perspectives and how they are expressed; 2) revisit with adivasi the folk tales written down mostly by outsiders in the 19th century, such as my great-great grandfather, Ferdinand Hahn.
3) review and explore the emerging Adivasi Literature that is written, but rooted in their oral traditions.
