Important Points from this Chapter
How to do fieldwork for studying culture
What is participatory observation, their importance and use
How to understand the culture
Every culture has meaning in its practice
Holi is a patriarchal festival because here women are subjugated
Celebrating the festival by burning any person including symbolic is barbaric, and not acceptable in modern civil society. (Page No. 243)
#PLEASE-NOTE the earlier name of Holi was HORA. The meaning of Hora is roasted rain.
[243] Holi and Patriarchy
The author is saying that aside from the Holi festival, each of the other thirteen major festivals of the year seems to me to express and support the proper structures of patriarchy and gerontocracy in the family, o elaborately stratified relations among the castes, and of dominance by landowners in the village generally.
Holi as a Ritual of Rebellion
Please refer to the article “Practicing Religion”, Page No. 224, 2nd Paragraph, and “The Feast of Love”, Page No. 239, 3rd Paragraph in “Everyday Life in South Asia” by Diane P. Mines and Sarab Lamb (Eds.)
#DEAR-STUDENTS #PLEASE-REMEMBER #IN-EXAM you are free to write from more than one article even beyond the book but within the context. For example here to understand "Holi as a Ritual of Rebellion" you should refer above two articles.
