Needs and importance of cultural practices among tribals’ of western Odisha in contemporary society

Society without culture has no meaning. Culture is the manifestation of system of activity wherein a man socializes himself through interacting with other human being. The culture and society are interdependent, though the society is spontaneously emerged in the process of social evolution. Culture is the way of life to which men acquire and assimilate the value and mode of behavior to accommodate himself to be the member of existing society. Culture differs from one society to another or one community to another. The liking and disliking of a culture depends upon generation to generation. Today's culture may not be liked by population of next generations’. In the same way tribal culture of western Odisha is not rigid and static rather it is changing with the contemporary society, till then to preserve tribal identity few cultural practices are still pursued from their ancestors.
