First sentence: Orissa is a tribal dominated state in India. There are officially recognised 62 tribal communities in Orissa and more than 22 per cent of its population belongs to various tribal communities. These tribal groups have their separate language, culture and rich oral tradition. Their languages and literature are mainly oral in nature because  most of them have not developed written script. Their rich oral literary tradition has been handed down from one generation to next generation from mouth to mouth. Recently, however, Santhali language has been accepted as an official language as per the constitutional provision. Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi has started giving awards to Santhali writers too.
Description: This book is a collection of papers presented in a seminar "Adibasi Moukhika Sahitya Parampara" held in Bhawanipatna, the district hqrs. of a tribal dominated district Kalahandi in the state of Orissa.
