The Korku community is an indigenous tribal group primarily found in the central region of India, particularly in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. They are known for their distinctive culture, traditional practices, and agricultural lifestyle, often relying on farming and gathering for sustenance. The Korkus have their own language, which belongs to the Dravidian family, and they maintain rich oral traditions and customs. Despite facing challenges such as social marginalization and economic difficulties, efforts are underway to promote their rights and improve their living conditions while preserving their cultural heritage.
