demographic profile of tribles
Answers
Answer:
The idea of “tribes” is particularly complex in the Indian subcontinent, where indigenous/primitive inhabitants were
neither eliminated, nor quite absorbed, by the rising civilization in the course of history.
It is plain enough that the demography of tribal people cannot loom large in India’s overall demographic scene (the
former’s relative size being only a little more than 8%). But, as we will see, demographic features in tribal societies have
often been distinct and/or rather distinguished both in historical and comparative perspectives. In particular, the chief
object of the present paper is to evaluate the overall demographic features and their common sociocultural
underpinnings in the aggregate tribal population, in comparison, particularly, with their closest counterparts, namely, the
lower caste (officially known as scheduled caste (SC)) people and others. Apart from illuminating useful insights into the
nature and strength of the well-known connection between sociocultural milieus and demographic behaviour, this paper
throws fresh light on the Indian notion of the “tribe” and its comparative position vis-à-vis the mainstream since the late
19th century, especially in the contemporary context of development and globalization
