Food Processing by Rajbanshi Indigenous People of North Bengal, India

Author: Ashok Das Gupta (University of North Bengal)

Rajbanshi social fold comprising of both caste and communities constitute 18% of total population of North Bengal, India. They are in favour of irrigation (small and broad scale), sacred grove, fencing and lattice, highland and marshland, river basins and valleys, kitchen garden, etc. They are too good with the complex production systems of crops, cereals, vegetables, rapeseeds, honey, bamboo, liquor and sugar yielding varieties, medicinal herbs, fruits, mushrooms, lichen, livestock, fish, crab, small fish, mud fish, prawn as well as fiber, silk, silk cotton, drinks, areca, betel and tobacco. They are fond of meat, milk, egg and fish. These flora and fauna are again source of fuel, fodder, natural dye, and pesticides.

Rajbanshis is traditional life used to go through barter and reciprocity. Women are involved in preserving fish, paddy, fruit and milk items. In fish and paddy preservation, they use arum. Fruits are preserved in dried or as pickles. They do not waste their organic waste and use them as manure associated with ash, light trap, food-web and natural insecticides. They have developed crop rotation, legume plants and mixed cultivation. They still remember shifting cultivation and bush-fallow cultivation. Further, they have produced complex production systems involving

varieties of flora and fauna (such as mango-pineapple, areca-betel nut, rice-fish, and duck-snail- fish).

Alternative food sources that Rajbanshis do not put in priority are toad/frog, eel, snails and boar. They do not eat cow for religious reasons.

Kinship Relationship

Societies are the networks of two types of kinship relations. The gotiyars or bansaj are the relationships of blood. All the kin relations in this type are defined with blood relation and the principle of inheritance follows through this line only. The gotiars or bansajs are usually belonging to a same clan and worship a common ancestor spirits and common house deities. For hill people, the common dewali or kul pooja (lineage or clan worship) which is carried out either annually or once a three years period generally distinguishes the bansaj kin groups. Usually all the bansaj people are present in such pooja and show great respect to their ancestor. Among gotiyar or bansaj all are invited on all life cycle ceremonies and their presence is more or less obligatory in life crisis ceremony.

“Ragat pani bhanda rato hunshha” (blood is red than water) is the common saying among the gotiyars group. That is a biological link of consanguinity, is a powerful bond of solidarity, mutual help, and reciprocity usually stronger than most other links. But there is a great deal of feeling of jealousy, unholy competition and fragmentation among the people of same gotiyar and bansaj in practice. People again equally say that “satru ko anuhar hernu chha bhane dajubhai ko here pugchha”, that is, if you want to see the faces of an enemy, just go and see the faces of your brothers. These are the examples of paradoxes that have been shaping the societies and cultures within the societies.
