Munda tribe

The Munda tribe is an ethnic group primarily found in central India, particularly in the state of Jharkhand. They belong to the larger Austroasiatic linguistic family and have a rich cultural heritage, including unique traditions, festivals, and ancestral worship. Historically, they were known for their agricultural practices and traditional crafts. The Mundas played a significant role in the Indian independence movement, notably through the Munda Rebellion led by Birsa Munda in the late 19th century, which aimed at social and land reforms. Today, they continue to advocate for their rights and maintain their cultural identity amidst modern challenges.
