Question

important 10 points about tribal peoples of India​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Indian tribes have been living between two worlds: their own tribal world which is in transition, and the new social order which opens up vistas for their transformation. India today displays a very high degree of social and ethnic diver­sity. The population of India subsumes within it a multitude of caste and tribal groups representing different stages in the social evolution of the humankind. The social differentiation within each of these groups is no less impressive.

Broadly speaking, the contemporary In­dian society may be seen as comprising two mutually exclusive and differentiated social categories—a caste-based social order with an im­plicit social hierarchy, and a tribal segment by and large un-stratified and egalitarian in both appearance and content. While centuries of shared history have facilitated and promoted interaction between the caste-based peasant society and the tribes in forms which are myriad, the two have retained their intrinsic characteristics, best manifested in ethnic consciousness, social organization and modes of production.

The word tribe in the Indian context, however, conveys a sense of meaning which evades clarity. Generally, it refers to a state of tribal­ism which is ethnic (ethnically defined) as well as political (revealing their definitional status as scheduled tribes).the 1991 census the tribal population accounted for 7.95 per cent of the country’s population. The tribal segment regis­tered an increase during the 1981-91 decade improving its share in the country’s population from 7.83 per cent in 1981 to 7.95 per cent in 1991. A population of 67.75 millions distributed over most of the states and the union territories is immensity in itself.

The tribes are far from homogeneous in cultural traits, social organization and modes of living. Not all segments of the population of scheduled tribes have been equally exposed to the dominant cultures of the re­gions in which they are living today. Furthermore, their responses to the processes of acculturation, modernization or initiation into the democratic polity through the electoral process of public mobilization have been far from homogeneous. In fact, they reveal the highly het­erogeneous character of the tribal segment itself.

On the theoretical plane it may be necessary to distinguish be­tween the tribes as a category perceived on the basis of a classical tribal paradigm and the scheduled tribes of the modern Indian state. Develop­ing the definition of a tribe according to the classical paradigm may also be necessary to remove some of the misgivings which are likely to exist on this subject. More so because the induction of the groups into the schedule of the Indian Constitution creates situations which are grossly anomalous.
