ABOUT TRIBES OF INDIA

Tribes are the people who lives in a common geographical area and collectively work for the welfare of their community. It’s always be a curious thing to explore for the study of anthropology

Tribal culture was running from a decade and we can still see its evidence in our life. All of us must belong to a group of individuals, sharing common traits, social, economical behavior and also share blood relation with each others.

The Constitution of India has recognized tribal communities in India under ‘Schedule 5’ of the constitution. Hence the tribes recognized by the Constitution are known as ‘ Scheduled Tribes’.

ORIGIN OF TRIBES OF INDIA

“The word ‘tribe’ itself is derived from the Latin term tribus.“

There are huge variety of tribes present in our country. Have their own importance and uniqueness in strengthening our cultural values in the whole world.

“The origin of the word was rooted in the ancient Roman tribus.”

Tribes people in India are called as ‘Adivasi’ . There are some 576 communities and receive special benefits and to compete for reserved seats in legislature and schools. There number range from one community to other. Central Indian state have the country’s largest tribes.

“Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru once wrote: “There is no point in trying to make them a second rate copy of ourselves…they are people who sing and dance and try to enjoy life; not people who sit in stock exchanges, shout at each other, and think themselves civilized.”

Since tribal people lives in their own society different from our, thus there is a difference between the perceptions. The government of India in order to protect the rights of tribal people’s have implemented different policies and procedures. The central government and Constitution of India are prove as ‘guardians of the rights’ of the people with the passage of time more efforts are being put in, to encourage development of tribal people for their equitable and sustainable life. The schedule tribe are the most backward or depressed classes of the country since Independence. Thus there is a need to give vital focus for the tribal people community.

As a aware citizen of my country it’s not justifiable if we only remain dependent on government and other factors, it’s also our responsibility to play our roles for the upliftment of the people to include them in the process of development and growth.
