adivasi
Adivasi is a term commonly used in India to refer to the indigenous tribal communities who are considered the original inhabitants of the land. These communities have distinct cultural, linguistic, and ethnic identities and have historically lived in harmony with nature. Adivasis are often marginalized and face social, economic, and political challenges due to discrimination, displacement, and exploitation. They have a rich cultural heritage and traditional practices that contribute to the diversity of India's cultural fabric.

Adivasi
Adivasi is an umbrella term for a heterogeneous set of ethnic and tribal groups claimed to be the aboriginal population of India. They comprise a substantial indigenous minority of the population of India. The same term Adivasi is used for the ethnic minorities of Bangladesh and the native Vedda people of Sri Lanka. The word is also used in the same sense in Nepal as is another word janajati, although the political context differed historically under the Shah and Rana dynasties. Adivasi societies are particularly present in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and some north-eastern states, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Many smaller tribal groups are quite sensitive to ecological degradation caused by modernisation. Both commercial forestry and intensive agriculture have proved destructive to the forests that had endured swidden agriculture for many centuries.
