India's Tribal Communities

India's tribal communities, also known as Adivasis, are indigenous groups with distinct cultures, languages, and traditions, often residing in remote rural or mountainous regions. They have a long history predating mainstream society and contribute richly to India’s diversity. These communities typically rely on traditional livelihoods like agriculture, hunting, and forest-based activities. Despite their cultural wealth, many face challenges such as land rights issues, limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. The government recognizes their unique status and works to protect their rights, preserve their heritage, and promote development that respects their cultural identity.
