India has always been the country of full of diversity both geographically as well as through different cultures, groups, language etc. Since ages the Indian cultural had allowed the various different kinds and cultural to settled in their land and had allowed them to be the one among themselves. The History of India is evident of the vast changes with respect to Indian politics, economic condition and in the cultures due to ears of Mugals then the British and the present Independent Stage. All the various regions, religions and languages have now adjusted and changed to suit and make its comfortable place in this changing face of India. But irrespective of all this changes, the tribal Indians have still managed to keep their originality, the cultural and their beliefs unaltered.
In India there are around 645 tribe, whose population goes around of 20 millions, staying in the every part of the country in the various types of areas, out of which many of them are yet to be discovered. They have their own different small world to stay in. Yes agreed that now majority of them are getting extinct and on the scale of the world norms of healthy and High standards living they rank last and gets score in minus. They really have low level of literacy, health, the hygienic and economic condition. But yet what they have stored with them is the unique ability to nature and preserve their own culture, follow their own beliefs and a total confidence about their knowledge and experience related to nature and its usefulness, then may it be in making best quality of herbal medicines or the predicting the natural phenomena correctly, they are master in all.
Their total society has grown mature at least with respect to the real social and liberal views. Tribal social life is mainly based on the principal of equality. Unlike the so called well behaved , more civilized and develop cities and the villages the singular tribes do not need a quote amongst them for the lower section or the privilege class, the main reason is due to the need of poverty and hunger the value of dignity of labor for any kind of work is inscribed within them automatically. One is just appreciated and respected for the quality of his/her work and not on kind of work or its income. In most of the tribes we will not see the difference among two groups due to their faith on different believes. Each and every power for them which provides them support for living is equal to god and each of such energy is to be respected in some or the other form and is there deity which should not be disrespected and humiliated if not kept at the highest place. Such a simple logic if used in the villages and small clans and also in the cities the religion diversity of India will become its one of the strength which will boost us towards the development.
The tribal women gains equal freedom as her counterpart male to work, to have her voice in marriage and any relationship. For the tribal women there is no need to form a women liberal group or any women quotation bill among her tribe for betterment and equal opportunity for them in every walk of life. The issue of female feticide does not arrive in majority of the tribes since gender inequality is not rooted in their cultural from the basic grassroots level itself.
I wonder sometimes about the exactly ironic conditions when compare the problems of the well educated, scientific principles based cites of India and exactly opposite life styled of the tribes, and then just a question pops in that where did our well developed cities and villages actually originated from such tribes have lost their basic values of equality and liberty which are essential foundations of any civilized society to survive and grow........
