    AN ANALYSIS OF LIVELIHOOD STATUS OF TRIBAL YOUTH IN SELECTED DISTRICTS OF KARNATAKA
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2018-03-15) BHARATH KUMAR, T.P.; Nataraju, M.S
    Anon. (1996) ‘Tribal folk’ is defined as “People living in a particular place, who enter into marriage relationship among themselves, who have no specific skills in any work, traditionally or ethnically ruled by adivasi leaders, who speak any special language, have own beliefs, customs and tradition”. The criteria of geographical isolation, distinctive culture, primitive traits, shyness of contact with others and economic and social backwardness are, in general, considered relevant in the definition of tribes in India. Their poverty, social and economic backwardness are highly visible in the literature of Majumdar (1961). “Tribe means a group of people of the same race and with the same customs, language, and religion living in a particular area and often led by a chief” (Anon., 2001a). A tribe is a collection of families or groups of families bearing a common name, member of which occupy the same territory, speaks the same language and observe certain taboos regarding marriage, profession or occupation. The tribe is generally referred to territorial community living in isolation of hills and forest (Majumdar, 1961).
