| Summary: | The term "tribal" is a household biblical concept. The Israelites showed resilience, embraced assimilation and groomed monotheism. The North East Indian tribals resist oppressive forces but are receptive to uplifting initiatives. The tribal belief system became distinct with the populace embracing Christianity en masse. The Bible and its message gained importance and relevance; so too tribal myths and oral tradition. Though initially looked at as superstitious and diabolic, the depth of tribal cultural ethos germinated in social transformation and theological consciousness. Hermeneutics initiated the process of dialogue and liberation, mutual and holistic transformation, breeding versatility in biblical and tribal cultures. |
