Historically Tribes have existed as social groups comprising of distinct people dependent on their regional land for their livelihood and their self-sufficiency makes them partially independent of being integrated into the national society.

In India, the tribal people have known here as Adivasi a modern Sanskrit word which carries the specific meaning of being the original inhabitants of a given region.

Geographically, the Tribes in India establish their presence throughout the country right from Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand in the West to Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Manipur, and Nagaland in the northeast; somepercent in Odisha, Karnataka, TamilNadu, and Kerala in southern India, in Western India it’s in Gujarat and Rajasthan and in the union territories of Lakshadweep and on the Andaman islands and Nicobar islands.

Despite such a diverse regional distribution, almost all Indian Tribes share similar characteristic features which include:•Well-demarcated geographical territorypeople live within a definite topography and this forms the basic foundation for their existence.Because in the absence of a common abode, the tribals might lose contact with one another which would cause a difference in the way of living.

•The practice of endogamy happenswithin the tribe and can serve as a form of Self-segregation, and community uses it to resist integrating and completely merging with surrounding populations.

•AmalgamationBecause Tribes are usually cut out from rest of the state, there are unity and consensus on thoughts andopinions of people which is why a tribe or clan is headed by a chief.
