['Dr Mayank Chaturvedi']
Organiser
On 9 August, World Tribal Day or World Indigenous Peoples’ Day is observed in many countries around the world.
The historical background of World Indigenous Peoples’ DayIn many countries around the world, indigenous communities paid the greatest price for colonial expansion.
Tribal Society: An important stream of Indian cultureThe presence of forest-dwelling and tribal communities in Indian literature, folk traditions and religious narratives is extremely significant.
Therefore, 9 August does not hold significance in India from the perspective of the honour, rights and pride of tribal society.
In India, tribal society, like all other sections of society, is also a part of the harmonious stream of the nation.
