Question

describe the characteristics of adivasis​

Answer 1

Answer:

They are Indians who chose to live in forest while other Indians chose to destroy forests to make way for fields, villages and cities.

Kindly do not call them Adivasi or Earliest Inhabitant.

Do not call them Tribe also - for each caste in India is a tribe in itself.

Call them Vanavasi or Resident of Forest.

Because their entire life and culture is intimately linked with forest.

When you use Vanavasi to describe them, public at large can be educated about them intimate relationship they have with forest.

This will hopefully one day pave way to restoration of their traditional forest rights that these forest dwellers lost progressively under British rule and later in Independent India.
