INDIAN TRIBAL CULTURE



INDIAN TRIBAL CULTURE –

India is a country of varied people, languages, food, traditions, customs and beliefs, within the 3,287,263 square kilometres of land space. Each state has its own distinguished culture that stands out from the rest. In addition to this, there are the several tribal communities, native to various regions of the country. The indigenous tribes of India have existed as a part of its varied culture, right from the primitive years to present, modern day. However, as the rest of the country paced forward in the race of development and modernisation, most of the tribal communities have wished not to compete, while those who have chosen to participate have lagged behind to a great extent.

The isolation of these communities and their unwillingness to interact with the rest of the inhabitants, has contributed to their steady decline. The number of tribes in the country, has thus, reduced to a great extent. Some of these tribes have been given legal recognition and protection. But the undying, invasive curiosity of the greater population has not allowed these tribal groups to live in peace.



As a developing country with a dynamic population, attention is primarily paid to the growing population of the country, while recognition and rights are not yet, fully given to the tribal communities. In contrast to the various governmental laws and acts, the adivasi population are far ahead in the protection of nature and its inhabitants. Tribal ethno medicine, that is, their use of ancestral plant-based medicine also stands out with more efficiency than modern, western medicine.

The need to understand and respect these Indian tribal groups and their culture, practices and beliefs are ever increasing and must be considered in order to maintain the diversity of Indian culture.

CULTURE OF ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR ISLANDS Clothing in Andaman and the Nicobar islands Every region of India displays its own culture along with their language, religion and clothing styles. According to the Indian culture, both the men and women are expected to dress up in a civilized manner. But surprisingly enough, there still exists an isolated culture in India where people hardly care for covering their body with any clothes. Whereas modern dressing styles and ultra modern attires are ruling the multiplex markets and shopping malls in the cities of India and other parts of the world, the peasants of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are still far away from the touch of modernity. There is no such specific attire in Andaman and Nicobar islands.  Till date there are many people from Andaman and Nicobar Islands who do not wear any dress. This is mainly due to their detachment from the civilized world. The Sentinelese people still move naked in the islands.  The se...
