The present study is about the modernization and Sanskritization at one of the distinctive tribe, the “KORA” in eastern India. As per the Indian constitution order (1950), the KORA community had been placed of twentieth number in West Bengal. KORA is a small tribal community in the eastern India. In West Bengal, the Kora tribes have rightly adopted all the religious customs and practices of Hinduism. Kora are somehow isolated from the sophisticated Hinduism through their economic background, social segregation and a general lack of direct access to literate Hindu Tradition. Certain symbolic traits at the Kora also do not support their abovementioned aspiration and pull-down their claim to the level at ‘very low’ castes. Therefore, this study intends to focus upon the effects of modernization and sanskritization on the Kora community in West Bengal with special reference to Bankura and Purulia district.
