Life in Tribal Society
A clan, community, village, city, or town has three major components of the social formation in India. However, to draw a clear line between a farm property, which is, in a certain village, and a village, a town, is not so simple, some of which are common to all of them is putting a curse. Some parts of the country have a huge trunk of villages, and they are very different from that of the non-tribal, multi-caste villages and more.
The differences are based on the relatives, the wealth and power of some of the rural areas of tribals is just as strong among rural, non-native Americans. The stems are not in the theoretical part of the Hindu social organization, but they are always related to the broader society in India. They are exploited economically and socially by the people who belong to a tribe that lives in the tribal areas. Many of the tribes rebelled against the development.
Article 46 of the Constitution of India states: “The State, with a particular care, fostering, training, and economic interests of the most vulnerable people, especially the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes, and to protect the social injustice and all forms of exploitation.” Some strains are not, the Scheduled Tribes (STS), and, in general, the more vulnerable sections of the population, so the Scheduled Castes (SCs).

India is is land of Grand culture, coexistence, and fusion of people of diverse ethnic stock. Many ethnic groups migrated during different periods and settled in different areas across the Indian subcontinent. Before their arrival, several other communities were already living in this country. In modern parlance, for all such communities, we used the term tribals or adivasi. These communities had their system of administration of justice and government, social, political institutions, customs, practices, and Lifestyle. They resided in the remote, inaccessible Highlands and tessellated forest. With the advent of the British, the situation underwent a dynamic change.
In India, there are approximately 60 7.7 million Aadivasi. This term means the original people or inhabitants of the land. The most important sources of tribal history are the ballot and folklore, which are transferred orally from one generation to the another. Government documents, individual peasants’ petitions, administrator proceedings, enquiry Commission reports, and their judgements also serve as important sources on the tribal history of India.
In the pre-colonial Era, tribal communities inhabited the forest and hilly areas. Tribal societies did not have rigid social divisions akin to other communities; they believed in equality. All members of The Tribe owned land. They led a Nomadic Lifestyle. Hunting animals and gathering forest produce was their primary occupation. For instance, the baigas of Central India and the khonds of Odisha habitually went on collective hunts and fishing, as well as collected edible fruits and roots. Besides, they also used forest produce for medicinal purposes. Those tribals in inhabiting hilly and fostered regions of north east and Central India were engaged in shifting to jhum cultivation. To allow the sun to reach the ground, the cultivators burn the vegetation on land and cut the tree tops. They used ash to fertilise the land and scattered the seeds on the land furrowed by a hoe. After the harvest, the land was left fallow for several years. Besides, some tribal groups did odd jobs like carrying loads and working in the fields of peasants and the tribal people mostly but read their valuable forest produce for essential commodities.
