Comment on the symbols used in ‘A Munda Song’. What aspect of the tribal worldview do they reflect?
Advertisements
उत्तर
In ‘A Munda Song’, symbols such as the sun, moon and cowshed connect human life with the rhythms of nature. The rising sun is associated with the birth of a son, while the moon is associated with the birth of a daughter. The cowshed being depleted after a son’s birth and filled after a daughter’s birth shows that daughters are considered precious and valuable.
These symbols reflect the tribal worldview of living in close harmony with nature. The Munda community’s life is linked to natural cycles such as the rising and setting of the sun and the changing seasons, rather than clock time.
