The Tribal Soul of India
Home to an amazing 533 living tribes, India’s tribal population is the largest in the world. Despite encroaching urbanisation, habitat loss and dwindling livelihoods, many tribal communities continue to practice their traditions and to conserve the ancient wisdom handed down by their ancestors.
Step out of ethnography museums and delve into the remote countryside to partake in India’s living tribal heritage. Embarking on this intriguing journey with a community-tourism organisation or social enterprise will enable culture-seekers to understand the rich customs of the indigenous tribes, while contributing to their income and helping to preserve their unique way of life.
