गोंड विवाह पर डॉ. प्रवीण श्याम से खास बातचीत

Recently, I got the opportunity to cover a Gond tribal wedding in the Pendra Road region of Chhattisgarh. Although I could not record the wedding in complete detail, during this visit we had a very interesting conversation with Dr. Praveen Shyam. Dr. Praveen Shyam is a guest lecturer in Botany at Naveen College and belongs to the Gond tribe himself. He is deeply connected to his community, culture, and traditions, and has also studied Gond society and its customs extensively. Speaking with him was truly a wonderful experience for me. In this conversation of around sixteen minutes, he shared many fascinating insights about Gond tribal weddings — the different types of marriages, their rituals and customs, and how these traditions have evolved over time. He explained that the influence of modern weddings is now clearly visible in Gond society as well. Today, wedding processions, bands, DJs, decorated stages, garland ceremonies, and large wedding pandals have also become part of these celebrations. However, despite these modern additions, traditional customs still continue to hold an important place, and that is what makes this culture truly special. Dr. Praveen Shyam also spoke about the deep connection between the Gond tribe and nature. Forests, trees, soil, water, fire, air, and the sky — all these elements are respected and valued in their culture. Since the Gonds and many other tribal communities are considered among the original inhabitants of this land, and their lives developed for centuries amidst forests and nature, the influence of nature can still be clearly seen in their traditions and marriage rituals. Although this conversation did not go into extreme depth, it still contained many interesting and valuable insights that I felt should be shared with all of you. So, let us watch this special conversation with Dr. Praveen Shyam, where he talks in detail about Gond tribal weddings and culture.
