The habitation and economy of a tribe describe in short
Answers
Explanation:
Tribal are the collective term for the indigenous peoples of India.In India, Scheduled Tribes are referred to as Adivasi, although the term indigenous and tribe have different meanings. Indigenous means descent from populations who inhabited the country or region at the time of conquest or colonization, and tribe means a group who are distinguished by their social, cultural and economic conditions from other sections of the community. Scheduled Tribes make up 8.6% of India's population, or 104 million people, according to the 2011 census, and a large percentage of the Nepalese population.They comprise a substantial minority population of India and Nepal and a minority group of the Sri Lankan society called the Vedda. The same term Adivasi is used for the ethnic minorities of Bangladesh and the native Tharu people of Nepal. The word is also used in the same sense in Nepal, as is another word, Adivasi Janjati although the political context differed historically under the Shah and Rana dynasties.
Tribal can be categorised into three grouping i.e. Austro-Asiatic, Dravidian and Sino-Tibetan.Each tribe has its own language and culture, i.e. festivals, cuisine, dance and music.Tribal societies are particularly prominent in Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, West Bengal, and some north-eastern states, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Many smaller tribal groups are quite sensitive to ecological degradation caused by modernisation. Both commercial forestry and intensive agriculture have proved destructive to the forests that had endured swidden agriculture for many centuries. Tribal in central part of India have been victims of the Salwa Judum campaign by the Government against the Naxalite insurgency.
