Sociology Of Tribal Society

Tribal people live within nature and absolutely clean environment and this determines their economic activity which consists of hunting small animals and look for food like roots and wild fruits. They have their own social functions and festivals where they sing and dance in characteristic body movements in the same dress by girls, the males playing on musical gadget like drums, metallic gongs, flutes etc. They hardly have any transaction because nobody has any currency or coins and do not have any knowledge and experience of organizing market. The life style of tribal society is primitive, and depends entirely on their characteristic ways of non-monetary transacted life. The families live within themselves, without knowing about their neighbours in the country who are educated, developed, move in cars, have modern dress etc. whom they hate and consider them enemy. The domestic division of labour depends only on age and sex. The primitive tribal communities have remained isolated from the rest of the society and their exposure to the modern world has been limited. This is a beautifully written, extremely well researched, and very well argued investigated boon on Tribal society that help the students, teachers and people working on tribals in their study and projects.
