Health is a prerequisite for human development and is an essential
component for the wellbeing of the mankind. The common beliefs, customs,
practices related to health and disease in turn influence the health of the human
beings. Health can be regarded as a state of mental, social and economic welibeing
and not the mere absence of dis-ease. Health is a function, not only of medical care,
but also of the overall integrated development of society - cultural, economic,
educational, social and political. Therefore to have sound health, the other depending
factors are also to be looked into.
Despite remarkable world-wide progress in the field of diagnostics and
curative and preventive health, still there are people living in isolation in natural and
unpolluted surroundings far away from civilization with their traditional values,
customs, beliefs and myth intact. They are commonly known as "tribals", It is
fascinating that tribals in India constitute 104.28 million, as per 2011 census which
is about 8.61% of the total population of India. There are some communities among
tribals who have been designated as 'primitive' based on pre-agricultural level of
technology, low level of literacy, stagnant or diminishing population size, relative
seclusion (isolation) from the main stream of population, economic and educational
backwardness, extreme poverty, dwelling in remote inaccessible hilly terrains,
maintenance of constant touch with the natural environment, and unaffected by the
developmental process undergoing in India. If general health of an average non-tribal
Indian is inferior to the Western and even many Asian counterparts, the health of an
average Indian tribal is found to be much poorer compared to the non-tribal
counterpart. The health status of tribal populations is very poor and worst of primitive
