Here are some of the mind-blowing facts about Indian Tribes -
- The Tribes inhabiting Andaman & Nicobar islands (known as Jarwa Tribes or Adivasi) don’t interact with outsiders.
- The word Bishnoi means 29. It contains twenty Hindu and nine Muslim principles and has reverence for nature as the main objective.
- The word Dimasa means ‘children of the big river.’
- The Gaddi tribe is one of the very few tribes of India that live like gypsies.
- The Khasi people, who reside in Meghalaya, might just have the solutions to the 21st century problems of sustainable development, global warming and pollution! A sub-tribe, the War-Khasi people have built living roots bridges in Cherrapunji, which is famously known as the wettest place on earth. The roots of the Ficus elastica tree are strong enough to be able to support the weight of fifty people at the same time. The Khasi people saw this and now whenever they need to cross a river, they simply grow their bridges! Cool bioengineering like this could be the solution to many of our problems.
- Oraon people are spread across the eastern and central parts of the country and speak the language called Kurukh which has special recognition and is also taught in Ranchi University.
- The Bnei Menashe tribe, found in Manipur and Mizoram, are descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel.
