An overview
Most of the people in India and elsewhere for that matter have not been able to explore what tribes are all about. The estimation or the categorization of these tribes is beyond the reach of the common man, and the study of the same is even tedious. Here this is an attempt to provide and update you some of the tribes of India and some facts associated with them. With the help of certain statistics we have tried to get some details on growth of these tribes.

History
Though an Indian tribal tour explains you a lot about the history of some 437 Indian tribes. It is important to know the socio political history of these tribes. One of the most noted thing you will find about these Indian tribes is the attachment in the struggle for Independence.

Many tribes of India and their leaders actively participated in the struggle for Independence. Also many of these tribes played a very important hand in the growth of Indian agriculture. You can also see a major role of these tribes in the tourism industry of India as people from other countries come to India to explore their culture and traditions.

Distribution
The spread of the tribes of India is so vast that it cannot be confined to one sect or a religion followed. On top of this post is a distribution table that provides information on the distribution of these Indian tribes.
