Business anthropology has emerged recently as a professional sub-field that joins together several streams of literature related to multiple dimensions of the business enterprise. A consumer is the one who pays something to consume goods and services produced. As such, consumers play a vital role in the economic system of a nation. The aims and objectives to be considered are as follows; to identifying cultural and socio-economic determinants which affect the buying behavior of rural and tribal consumers in the backward and tribal villages of India, to explore the awareness regarding legal provisions of the consumer rights among the rural and tribal consumers in backward and tribal villages of India and to investigate the incidents of violation and exploitation of the consumer rights of the rural and tribal consumers in backward and tribal villages of India. The paramount fact is that, we have the huge scarcity of the research work related to the consumer behavior, in the terms of business anthropological perspectives, especially on the tribal consumer behavior. One of the prime objectives of these kinds of studies is to investigate the impact of demonetization on the rural and tribal production, trade and markets. Apart from these there are no studies on the impact of demonetization on the tribes of India. Above mentioned facts have proved that that there is a big gap in the field of rural and tribal consumer behavior study, especially in the terms of business anthropology. Therefore, there is urgent need to conduct such type of study. The comprehensive analysis of the primary data which will collect from tribal and rural areas; will form a basis for recommendation and policy measures with consideration of the cultural, socio-economical and local particularities. The finding of the study would highlight various dimensions of problems encountered by rural and tribal consumers in terms of violation of their rights and exploitation through chain of disbursement of goods and services.
It is a distinguishing human feature which separates man from the animal: just as use of contraception is found only in human society, abortion is also exclusive to it. It is the reason that human reproduction is not a bare biological process. Instead, biological process constitutes a fragmentary (though essential) part in the gamut of human reproductive system. The objectives of the study are to find out the incidences of fetal death and abortion and their associated bio-cultural factors. Objectives of the present study are to explore the incidence fetal death and abortion and to find out the associated causes of the incidence fetal death and abortion among the Baiga tribe of Chhattisgarh. Structured interview schedule and non-participant observation were used for collection and cross validation of data. The results were analyzed using the 16.0 SPSS package. 21.77% respondents, whose wives were pregnant in the past, had abortion. From the point of view of reproductive health, this figure is quite on a higher side and shows how serious is the situation regarding abortion in the Baiga tribe. Such a high rate of abortion is a pointer to stagnation in the population of the Baiga of Chhattisgarh. At least it can be said a major factor in its nonproliferation.75 abortion cases which actually come to 94.9% were the cases of miscarriage or what is called spontaneous abortion. The cases of induced or deliberate abortions were 4, which comes to 5.1%. On the basis of these facts, the possibilities mount up that malnutrition, anemia and morbidity among the Baiga women, are on an ascending scale. The gravity or seriousness of the prevailing condition makes the conjecture well- founded that the benefits of reproductive health facilities are perhaps not reaching the inmates directly and adequately.out of the group brought under study, one third respondents i.e. - 23.97%, whose wives had conception had delivered stillborn babies, such large number of stillbirths draws one attention to the seriousness of reproductive health problem in the Baiga. This also accounts for stagnation in their population growth. Keywords: Incidence; Fetal; Mortality; Abortion; Miscarriage; The baiga.
The relationship between anthropology and development has been vigorously debated, ever since Malinowski advocates a role for anthropologist as policy advisers to African colonial administrators and Evans-Pritchard urging them instead to do precisely the opposite and distance themselves from the tainted worlds of policy and 'applied' involvement. Objectives of the present article are to investigate various aspects of development and social inequality among the Birhor tribe of the Chhattisgarh and to visualize the prospects of development through the Birhor's perceptions. The information and facts have been collected by using group discussion and non-participant and quasi-participant observation methods. The data, thus collected, was verified through focused group discussion, involving hamlet head, Panch and the randomly selected Birhor natives. Targeted Birhor tribe is miles away from the ‘light’ of ‘Development’. They are devoid of basic amenities, such as food, cloth, house, educaiton, health, engery, communication services, transport facilities and so on. Employment opportunities are almost negligible. They face social exclusion from non-Birhor society (Tribal and Non-tribal) in matters related to food distribution especially during community feasts. Women are further subjected to social exclusion during their menstruation period and delivery episodes. Cultural practices of these types are not congenial for their proper mental development.
