"An angry dispute or altercation; a disagreement marked by a temporary or permanent break in friendly relations" are called quarrel. Violence against women is a serious problem in India. Overall, one-third of women age 15-49 have experienced physical violence and about 1 in 10 has experienced sexual violence. In total, 35 percent have experienced physical or sexual violence. The aim of the present study is to achieve following objectives: to find out incidences of quarrel with Pardhi and Gond women of Chhattisgarh, to explore causes of quarrel with Pardhi and Gond women of Chhattisgarh, to suggest some advice for reducing violence against tribal women. Five villages of Dhamtari District (Chhattisgarh), namely: Kosmarra, Chararra, Bhushrenga, Kanharpuri and Bhalujhula have been selected by the random sampling. After that, 200 married and unmarried women belonging to the Pardhi tribe and Gond tribe, aged 15-56 years were chosen by random sampling method from those five villages. The interview cum structured schedule was used to collect the primary data. Group discussion technique was also used to collect and cross- checks the data. Almost all the respondents among Pardhi and the Gond tribal women have tormented by quarrel from time to time. Some of the women have faced every day this type of terrible situation, this vulnerable group of women may have victims of physical violence. Husbands of the Pardhi and the Gond women are the main accused of such kinds of domestic violence. The disappointment of the performance of housework of the respondents is the main cause of quarrel. There is no significant divergence found on the variation of the various issues for the domestic quarrel with women of the Pardhi and the Gond.Keywords

Gender violence defines: it is a pattern of behavior which involves violence or other abuse by one person in a domestic context against another, such as in marriage or cohabitation. Intimate partner violence is domestic violence by a spouse or partner in an intimate relationship against the other spouse or partner. Domestic violence can take place in heterosexual or same-sex relationships. "Reproductive health is state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes". The reproductive health statuses of any community, in its determination are involved three dimensions. In their order they are: status of reproductive health services, status of child health services and status of reproductive and sexual health. Apart from these three, another determining dimension is related to gender issues or women empowerment issues, which indirectly influence the entire gamut of the reproductive health process. Two very important points in the measurement of women empowerment need special mentioning. First is the woman's right accrued to them in social, civic matters. The second is the power of self - determination - their rightful participation and involvement in domestic and social decisions and affairs of life. Apart from these another determining dimension is related to gender issues or women empowerment issues, which have point out in this paper should be cover on the study of gender related violence.Keywords

Introduction: Anthropological principles, in the study of the family certain paradigms provide the base. Among such paradigms, one that plays a key role is the number of members in that family. Baiga is one of the five identified primitive tribes of Chhattisgarh. They are mostly inhabited in Kabirdham and Bilaspur districts of Chhattisgarh. Baigas could consider themselves a Narotrias, Barotrias, Binjhwars, or Bhumias-all endogamous Baiga group names- Bhumia had other meanings. Baiga considered themselves Bhumia or "lords of the soil. Objectives: Objectives of the present study were to explore the type of families on the various theoretical bases and to know how the families structure of the Baiga help their "primitive" aspects of life.
Methodology: The universe of our sample is 400 married Baiga males belonging to age 18-49 year from Bodla and Pandariya tehsils of Kabirdham district of Chhattisgarh, India. In the present study multi-stage and stratified random sampling method were followed. Data were collected through structured interview schedule and focused group discussions. The results were analyzed using the 16.0 SPSS package.
Results: As per the findings the 400 respondents' families, out of them the majority (90.2%) of families pertain to nuclear type. In a Baiga family the mean number of family members comes to 5.23 ± 1.955. The mean number of male members was 2.64 ± 1.360, whereas, the mean number of female members was 2.61±1.293. Between the two the estimated sex ratio was 988.66/1000. In Baiga, two main residential patterns are prominently noticed. Out of the two, the Neolocal residential pattern was the greater number (53.8%) whereas the second, patrilocal residential pattern was 43.8% - a lesser number.
Conclusion: The result makes the point clear that from structural perspective the Baiga families are nuclear families even to this new millennium, which characterize 'primitiveness' as one of their main features, as post marriage neolocal residence pattern is found. On the basis of number of family members, the Baigas' families were found moderate size. The observation confirms that the sex ratio in Baiga family is good.

Birhor means jungle people - Bir means jungle, Hor means men. The Birhors are of short stature, long head, wavy hair and broad nose. They belong to the Proto-Australoid racial stock. According to the India census (2011) India consists of only 17,241 the Birhor tribal populations, which is only 0.01 percent of the total tribal population of India. This population data has proved populace scarcity of the Birhor tribe in India. Jharkhand has wrapped the foremost population (62.21 percent) of the total population of the Birhor tribe in India, which indicates that the origin of this tribe is Jharkhand. The "primitive subsistence economy" of the Birhors has been based on nomadic gathering and hunting, particularly for monkeys. They also trap rabbits and titirs (a small bird), and collect and sell honey. They make ropes out of the fibers of a particular species of vine, which they sell in the markets of the nearby agricultural people. Due to combined effect of changed circumstances and government policies, some of the Birhors have adopted settled agricultural economy in recent years, but inspite of that, their traditional tendency of leading nomadic life has not gone. According to the socioeconomic standing the Birhors are classified into two groups. While the wandering Birhors are called Uthlus, the settled Birhors are called Janghis. The Birhor tribe has been facing culturisation and acculturisation problem as they live together with various tribal and non tribal communities. They are highly influenced with their culture and the Birhor had left their own cultural characteristics. Now the Birhor's ethnic characteristics are vanishing as well as they are losing their identity. In the light of above, it is suggested that it is urgent need to document the ethnic characteristics of primitive tribe and to conserve their culture.Keywords

To sum up the net findings, even in today's age of modern life of progress and advancement, Baiga tribal people are forced to live in the ramshackle of makeshift dwellings. During fieldwork it was observed that the water that came out from hand pumps were red or saffron in colour which was not fit for drinking. So using such water to alley one's thirst invited all kinds of diseases. Though to provide them with moderate and modest standard of accommodation, the government launched the housing project under the aegis of "Indira Awas Yojana" and make provision of dolling out financial help to them. Moreover, more cohesive and constructive steps should be taken that the Baiga's drinking water -bringing should not continue to remain a daily ordeal.
At least two steps ought to be taken with immediate effect for resolving the problems, so as to ameliorate the dwelling status, and to provide the safe drinking water facility to the Baiga community and the vast concourse similar tribal population: first, the paramount necessity is, as regards to tribal housing, the fund allocated for "Indira Awas Yojana", should be made double with immediate effect, and its repayment might be made through the "Adhar Card", which should be directly in the name of the Baiga couples both husband and wife inclusive. Secondly, in tribal villages, in the vicinity, at the distance of every 100 meters hand pumps should be installed, not as a bare formality, but with wihiggish caution, see to it that such hand pumps supply drinkable water, constantly. These should be monitored by trained and efficient plumbers/pump men/engineers. The latter should supervise individually and as a team. And at least once in a month, taking in confidence the members of the Baiga and other tribal families, ensure the supply of drinkable water with no abatement.

Reproductive health is to be seen in the perspective of the process of structural- functional approaches, and accordingly, solutions are to be evolved, so that, Baiga community's reproductive health status and the Baiga males' involvement in it, could be consolidated. At the same time, their economic, mental, and physical dimensions of life are strengthened and developed. As human reproductive health constitutes a holistic structural- functional perspective, to improve it also is mandatorily needed a need-based holistic intervention, so that first the Baiga community's structural position is strengthened. Thereafter, the strengthened structural position might find impetus for functions so that for all the time the holistic progression of the society is multiplied. In this regard, to meet from my doctoral research work among the Baiga tribe of Chhattisgarh, India, the three major structural needs, in Baiga community, three different kinds of interventional developmental activities have to be carried out on the following model, which, to enumerate ; 1.Infrastructural interventions 2.Structural intervention and 3.Super structural interventions.Keywords

The health and nutritional problem of the vast population of India are as varied as the tribal groups themselves who present a bewildering diversity and variety in their socio-economic, socio-cultural and ecological setting. The age of women between 10-19 years is considered as adolescence age or period. Adolescent girls are not physically prepared for child birth, since linear growth is not complete until age 18 and the birth canal does not reach mature until two to three year later. Objectives of the present study are;t o explore the menarcheal age of the tribal and other reproductive women of the Gidhpuri village and to access nutritional status of the tribal and other reproductive women of the Gidhpuri village. 50 pregnant and lactating women of different groups residing in Gidhpuri village- Savara, Binjhwar, Gond and other were randomly selected for collecting information. Anthropometry and interview schedule were used for collection of data. Mean age at menarche are 12.08 ±1.3 years in Savara women, followed by 13.2 ±1.5 years in Binjhwar women, 13.5 ±0.5 years in Gond women and 12.3 ±0.94 years in other women. Most of the women (82%) have good health because BMI rank is normal followed by 4% have over weight. weight and height of the respondents were increasing with their age but nutritional condition (BMI) showing odd pattern. In the light of above finding it is concluded that menarcheal age of the Savara, Bjinjhwar and Gond ethnic group are normal as compared other study , their nutritional status is found pleasing which is not regulated by biological factor like age, weight and height but by their socioeconomic conditions.Keywords

Several conceptions and misconceptions prevail in human society about sexual impotency. In different human societies in different human cultures, opinions and criteria regarding impotence vary. Such opinions and criteria become perceptions in that particular society. Such perceptions were also traced in the Baiga community, which are presented in this paper. Objectives of the study are to explore notions about impotence and barren among the Baiga males of Chhattisgarh, India. The universe of our sample is 400 married Baiga males belonging to age 18-49 years. The Baiga tribe is one of seven Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) of Chhattisgarh state of India. In the present study multi-stage random sampling method were followed. Structured interview schedules, focused group discussions and non-participant observation were used for collection and cross validation of data. According to the findings 33.5% respondents regard those males impotent who in the course of his youthful age could not make his wife pregnant. 30% respondents have the conviction that witchcraft and sorcery are the main causes of suffering from impotency. Perception regarding impotence among the Baiga males is found to be very placid and positive influenced by their age with value of χ2 = 1.153 and value of p is 0.020 at 5% level of significance. More than of half of them (50.8%) agreed that if any woman was unable to conceive, she was castigated as “barren”. Perception about barrenness among the Baiga males is found to be moderate and positively depended on their educational status, with associated value of χ2 = 30.32 and value of p is 0.016 at 5% level of significance. From the observation of multi-nomial logistic regression test, the finding was: in order to, all the above causes were found responsible for the barrenness of any women, which were relative to result as deities, breach of taboos and magic and witchcraft held responsible for barrenness at value of β for predictor's age at marriage of the respondents, i.e., < 18 years had been found to be -1.069 with associated value of p is 0.048 at 5% level of significance. From the extant study one thing that came to light was that those men who are younger in age hold such forces less responsible than their elderly counterparts who happen to be more credulous, even superstitions. The fact also emerged through the study that with the rise in educational status and income, the general attitude of the male Baiga towards barrenness of women have become realistic and scientific.Keywords
