  • La tribu Saura (ou Sora, Saora, Savara ou Sabara) est une tribu de langue austro-asiatique vivant dans l'Orissa (Inde) et comptant 535 000 personnes en 2011. Les Saura sont des grands marcheurs, grimpeurs et chasseurs. Leurs peintures ont une certaine ressemblance avec celles des Warli. Chez les Saura, on exerce le chamanisme. Les "grands chamanes" sont toujours des femmes. Au nombre de ces fonctions figure la relation aux morts. La tâche de conduire les rituels funéraires afin de mieux accompagner les morts vers l'au-delà incombe donc à ces grands chamanes. Les peintures saura s’appellent « ikon (icône) » et illustrent l'univers, la nature, les mythes hindous... Elles sont destinées à conjurer des mauvais sorts ou à invoquer des moments propitiatoires ou, plus généralement, à marquer les 4 principaux moments de la vie : la naissance, la puberté, le mariage, le décès. Au-delà des formes traditionnelles de l’art indien, qui relate généralement des épisodes des grandes légendes de l’hindouisme, les Saora puisent leur inspiration pour traduire une Inde qui mêle scènes primitives et objets du monde moderne. Très souvent les illustrations sont inscrites dans un cadre géométrique très strict, une façon de figurer le resserrement de la tribu en un lieu protégé, tel un temple virtuel porteur de leur identité. Deux motifs encadrent généralement chaque peinture : celui situé à l’extérieur symbolise la ligne des montagnes qui les entourent, l’autre figure la forêt qui les abrite. Il s'agit probablement d'une façon d’affirmer leur territoire et leurs ressources face aux dangers qui les menacent. (fr)
  • The Sabar people (also Shabar and Saora) are one of the Adivasi of Munda ethnic group tribe who live mainly in Odisha and West Bengal. During the colonial period, they were classed as one of the 'criminal tribes' under Criminal Tribes Act 1871, and suffer from social stigma and ostracism in modern times. Also known as Saora, the Sabar tribe finds mention in the Hindu epic Mahabharata, while in some parts of East Singhbhum district mainly in Musabani, they are known as in Kariya. Noted writer and activist Mahasweta Devi is known for working with these forest tribals. This reclusive tribe is found primarily in Odisha and in Midnapore District of West Bengal. The traditionally forest-dwelling tribe lack experience in agriculture, and rely on the forests for their livelihood. In recent years, with the spread of the Naxalite rebellion in the area, the police often restrict their access to the forest. In 2004, five persons in the Sabar village of , in Midnapore district, died after several months of starvation, leading to a national media furore. Subsequently, Durbar Mahila Samanway Committee (DMSC) started a school in the area, funded partially by sex workers from Kolkata. In June 2008, the Sabar suffered severe flooding in many of their West Bengal villages, and then received large amounts of aid from Catholic missionaries. Hundreds of Sabars migrated to present-day Bangladesh during the colonial period to work as tea garden labourers. Today, there are around 2000 of them residing the northeastern district of Moulvibazar, in areas such as Nandarani, Harinchhara and Rajghat. (en)
