why were adivasis traditionally different in their belief system or otherwise?
Answers
Answer.
there are over 500 adivasis groups inhabiting in various parts of India who differ in terms of ethnicity, culture and language.
for instance, odisha itself has over 60 tribal groups, each having distinct characteristics.
their traditional belief system is essentially different from the other popular creeds like Hinduism, Islam and Christianity.
they worship their ancestors as well as forces of nature that they refer to as river-spirit, mountain- spirit etc.
their language is not only different from Indo-European family of language, but also possibly as old as sanskrit.
Answer:
Adivasi societies are also most distinctive because there is often very little hierarchy among them. This makes them radically different from communities organised around principles of jati-varna (caste) or those that were ruled by kings.
