Event 10: Haranśikārī chant - Hubli

Description:
Chandappa Jampana Kattimani (age 60), chanting at the Ashoka Hotel, near the former Hubli Free Settlement (previously a Criminal Tribe Settlement, and once part of Gangadhar Nagar, Herepet, Hubli, Karnataka 580020).” Kattimani was a Haranśikārī (Haranshikari) who won his seat as Municipal Corporator in 1967 as per the Scheduled Tribe Order of 1950 through a court. He was the leader of all of the Haranśikārīs, including those who had migrated to other states. The language spoken by Haranśikārī people is Haranśikārī, a dialect of Pardhi, a Bhil adivasi language. Recordings made by A. A Bake in 1938 were played back, but not included in this pcm recording. Chanting in response to Bake 64.3 "Haranshikari legends," the beginning and sequel to the story of Korabya" (clans). Also played back: Bake 64.4 "Haranshikari legends; Invocation of Gods," Bake 64.5 "Haranshikari; beginning of Saindhya story," Bake 65.1 "Haranshikari; beginning of story of Icchotya," and Bake 65.2 "Haranshikari; Woman's song to God." These recordings were presumably given to Kattimani during the recording session. Kattimani showed Nazir Ali Jairazbhoy and Amy Catlin-Jairazbhoy the cassette tapes he had made of his chants so that his descendants would remember them. He said that the genealogy chant was about his community going back 40 generations. Bake had verbal transcriptions made of the chants that had been done on cylinder and Tefi in 1932, 1937 and 1938. Nazir Jairazbhoy and Amy Catlin-Jairazbhoy had microfilm copies made of those transcriptions at SOAS University of London, now presumed to be in the British Library in London. The language spoken by Haranshikari people is Pardhi, a dialect of Bhil, an adivasi language.
