The Kora is a small tribal group who are mostly found in eastern part of India. Like many other ethnic groups, the Kora had their own distinct culture, customs, rituals and religion. However, in comparison to other major tribal groups in West Bengal, the Kora as a group to date have recevied relatively little research attention. In this article, we reappraise our experience and observation on the social-cultural life of the Kora people of Paschim Medinipur district, which we collected as part of anthropology undergraduate fieldwork in the year 2002. Through an ethnographic re-analysis method, we try to provide a fair glimpse regarding the process where the Kora, as group, is adopting certain Hindu traits. We also look to find the probable reasons that hold the key to understanding the source of continuity and change in Kora communities at large.

Bindukata 的 Koras 之间的连续性和变化

科拉人是一个小部落群体，主要分布在印度东部。像许多其他民族一样，科拉人有自己独特的文化、习俗、仪式和宗教。然而，与西孟加拉邦的其他主要部落群体相比，科拉人作为一个群体迄今为止受到的研究关注相对较少。在这篇文章中，我们重新评估了我们在 2002 年作为人类学本科田野调查的一部分收集到的 Paschim Medinipur 地区 Kora 人社会文化生活的经验和观察。提供一个关于科拉人作为一个群体采用某些印度教特征的过程的公平一瞥。我们还寻找可能的原因，这些原因是了解整个科拉社区的连续性和变化的根源的关键。
