- Description
- The Kodavas of Kodagu district in Karnataka have a distinct social structure and follow a set of unique social codes and values peculiar to the community. Various influences have resulted in shifting social identities, which maybe a potential indicator of an identity crisis within the group. The present study follows a Constructivist Grounded Theory approach to inquiry, to arrive at an analytical schema of the process of social identity formation of the Kodavas. The analysis of data collected from forty-one middle and older adults, highlight the core traditional attributes of the Kodava identity, factors contributing to identity transition and its reflection in contemporary times. 2023 Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
