This seminal article presents an experimental observation on the Juang tribe of Keonjhar and Dhenkanal district of Orissa. The goal of the study signifies an ethnographic reality of Juangs such as the distribution of the tribe, the organization of the tribe and the government of the tribe. The distribution of the tribe occupies the following status like the life in Juang village, the leaf dress, Juang food, axe cultivation, hunting, the Juang and civilization. The organization of the tribe is focusing the birth and childhood, the dormitory, the Juang dance, friendship, marriage, death.

First of all, Verrier likes to discuss the diachronic research work of Juangs.He has also defined the lexical meaning of the word ‘Juang’ which means a ‘man’; is in their own dialect. On the other hand he has been analyzed the myth of the Juang and reviewed the Daltons ethnographic observation on Juang.He has quoted Daltons pragmatic experiment of Juang male and female body structure.Risley (1891:Tribes and caste of Bengal),Vivian Miek(1931:The People of the Leaves)O’Malley(1941: Modern India and the West) Orissa history writer the Sir W.W.Huntter( 1877:Statistical Account of Bengal) assumption on the tribal life and particular references of Juangs are discussed. Though Risley’s work mainly based on the Daltons references but Risley has given a few independent remarks and a list of clans.Risleys attempt to relate the Juang closely to Munda and Kharia is not very convincing.

Verrier has found there is factual error in Meik’s study.

Life in a Juang village is focusing the typical and traditional Juang village with their glory. Life and livelihood, the traditional house construction, repairing, color mud plastering, tobacco or oil crops nearby the home, village shifting , house hold article, food habit, bamboo tools for liquor and tobacco.

The leaf dress demonstrates that the Juangs are not so far advanced; they take young shoots of the Asan (terminalia tomentosa) or any tree with long soft leaves and arranging them to form a flat and scale- life surface of the required size.

There also discussed the hunting time, place and technology. Dance is as an important significant of hunting ceremony is pointed out by researcher.

The Juang and civilization; this chapter presents a mythical implementation of Juang civilization. Here, Verrier discussed Macmillan’s observation that is a story of Sukho Naiko and god fire’s word ‘Jake Paibi Take Paibe’ Whoever I catch I will eat.

J. Dash .1989.Juang Kinship Terms: Analysis. Adibasi. Vol XXIX No. 324.
Bhubaneswar.THRTI.Orissa.

This paper deals about the kinship terminology of Juang tribe of Orissa. The Kinship terms are the linguistic tag for a role;the role has biological criteria or admitted substitutes for admission to it, and it has also cultural criteria for performance . Generally the kinship terms bind various roles and together as kin members, categories them for specific modes of interaction or behavior and finally as a key factor bearers a testimony to all sorts or culturally patterned rights and obligations in the human society. On the other hand the kinship terms are as guiding trms of linguistic tugs, play a central role in the study of kinship.

The goal the study encompasses the scientific analysis of kinship terms of Juang those and mainly confined to Keonjhar and Dhenkanal district of Orissa.

In this introduction the author discusses with the theoretical views of anthropologist like L.H. Morgan, Radcliff – Brown and Elman R.Service those are discussed for deriving a basic theoretical frame work on kinship terms. Elman R. Service states that kinship terminologies are systems of consanguinity and affinity that they have to do with the people recognition of their genealogical relationship and there fore describe to us the actual organization of the kinship order”. (Service: 1971: 98-99)

Morgan’s view in this way mostly refers to the genealogical organization of the social life. But Radcliffe – Brown’s view’; on the other hand signifies the patterns in the conduct of inter personal relations. Thus, to Radcliffe-Brown, Kinship terms are like ‘Signpost’ to interpersonal conduct or etiquette, with implications of appreciated reciprocal right, duties, privileges, and obligations (Ibid). Although Morgan’s genealogical explanation of the kinship terms has been widely accepted, it does not explain or clarify all the essential aspects of kinship terminology. According to the ideas of Radcliffe Brown, Service has discussed that to paraphrase him, kinship terms are used in address and reference as denotative of social positions relevant to interpersonal conduct.

In this connection Service has quoted to Munroe. Edmension (1958) Who defines a status term as “a word designating a class of individuals occupying (simultaneously or severally) a single position in the social system, with specific defining patterns of rights and duties, the fulfillment of which is legitimized and guaranteed by sanctions (Ibid P – 100). Accepting kinship terms as status forms service, in his discussions on “Kinship Terminology and Evolution” has delineated for kinds of status terms.

First of all, status terms and divided into two basic subdivision of familistic and non-familistic. According to Service familistic type refers to family like familial or named social position in a group of kindnead, non-familistic terms we including the names of titles related to positions like occupational specialization, political officers, social classes at the like.

The kinship terminology among the Juangs of Keonjhar are to be discussed here, in the light of Services discussion, it typically an egocentric familistic system. It is well convinced that Juang kinship terminology is of bifurcated collateral type, lowie has defined four types of terminology, which are know as:

1.Generation
2.Lineal
3.Bifurcate – collateral

As the Juang recognize the bifurcate – collateral type, the mostly use three terms- one for father , one for fathers brother and one for mothers brothers. Mainly this statement of study may help, to elucidate the idea underlying the Juangs way of recognizing and grasping of kins. The kinship terms may enumerated group by group according to the different liens of relationship.

Here we can find some examples those scientifically discussed in following approaches.

1.	Kinship terminology in the family 

Relationship	Kinship	Terms address	Reference
1. Husband (W.S.)	Gusian	No terms but EH	Gusian or by teknonymy. 
2. Son	Kanan	E. Landa or by name	Kanam.

2.	Kinship terminology in father’s line

Fa	Ba	E Ba	Ba
FuFa	Aja	E Aja	A Jain

3.	Mother’s line – MoBr + Mosi

1.	Mo	Bui	E. Bui	Buin
2.	Moel  Br	Mamu	E. Mamu	Mamu

In second part of the discussion, the author has been delighted on the analytical study of kinship terminology. According to eminent anthropologists G.P. Murdock (1957:97) and his classification or kinship terms which are as follows

1.	By their mode of use
2.	By their linguistic structure
3.	By their same of application. 
General rules of the kinship Nomenclature has been defined as following norms such as 

a.	Sex differentiation
b.	Generation differentiation 
c.	 Age differentiation of Juang tribes.

Lastly, it can be concluded that Juang kinship terminology basically refers to status terms which are ego centric – familistic type. Besides the general observations on the kinship terms with references to terms of address and references the classification kinship terms of the Juang attracts a specific attentions. It primarily refers to the structural division of moiety groups (of even or odd number generations). Thus classificatory terms as well as the general terms in the Juang society categorize the kin members, Patterns their interpersonal relations and assigns reciprocal rights, duties privileges as well as obligations to them.
