Discerning India- Living Cultures of Tulunadu

Discerning India- Living Cultures of Tulunadu is a unique Online Course that attempts to introduce the participants to the distinctive cultural traits of Tulunadu and look at what makes the region surrounding Manipal, India -a microcosm of India. The region stretching across the Arabian Coast from Byndoor in Karnataka to Kasargod in Kerala, known as Tulunadu in the popular lore, is a mosaic of cultures. This cultural hub with intriguing and fascinating domestic diversity offers a glimpse of the essence of Indianness. The indigenous worship traditions, vibrant folk theatres and syncretic living ways add a distinctive richness to the region. This course introduces the participants to the glimpses of this cultural heritage and leaves them with a desire to delve deeper.

The idea of the course...

This course is primarily designed to introduce the unique cultural aspects of Tulunad and to provide a general overview about the knowledge systems of the communities. It is an attempt to introduce the participants to the region and its ways of living.

One way to define Tulunad is to understand it as the geographical location where the people speak in Tulu language, and hence the name Tulunad [Tulu + Nad (land, place)]. Tulunadu may be also viewed by extending the geographical location to those places where Tulu was spoken in the past and where the people’s social and cultural lives embody certain ideas which are now considered to be pre-dominantly present among the current Tulu speaking population. We consider both these definitions in what we understand Tulunad to be.

We are aware that there is no one homogenous authentic lived experience shared by all the people of the region, but the attempt is to provide an understanding of the practices and ideas of the people.
