Tribal occupation of golden age
Answers
Answer:
The tribes had many customs and rituals. These were very different from those of Brahmanas. But how did the tribal groups live? By the 19th century, tribal people in different parts of India undertook a variety of activities. We will now look at some of the most famous activities of the ancient people in India.
Explanation:
In many regions, tribal groups lived by hunting animals and gathering forest produce. They used many forest shrubs and herbs for medicinal purpose. They sold forest produce in the local markets. The Baigas of Central India refused to work for others. Tribal groups had to indulge in buy and sell activities to get the goods that were not produced within the locality. This made them dependent on traders and moneylenders.
Many tribal groups resorted to herding and rearing animals. They also gathered forest produce. They were pastoralists who moved with their herds of cattle or sheep according to the seasons. The Van Gujjars of Punjab hills and Labadis of Andhra Pradesh were cattle herders. The Gaddis of Kulu were shepherds and the Bakarwals of Kashmir reared goats.
