Tribals in India

Tribals in India, also known as Indigenous Peoples or Adivasis, are communities that have historically inhabited remote or forested regions, maintaining traditional lifestyles and cultural practices. They constitute about 8-10% of the population and often face social, economic, and political challenges, including marginalization and limited access to resources. Recognized under India's Constitution and various laws, tribals have specific rights to land and resources, and efforts are made to preserve their unique heritage and improve their well-being through development programs and affirmative measures.
