However, most tribal societies are rapidly adjusting themselves to the changing milieu. BHIL Among the tribals in India, bhils are the most numerous. They live in compact but isolated villages over a fairly well-defined territory comprising the western districts of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. The panchayat consisting of elders is a feature of their village life. The Bhils till the soil for livelihood and often work as agricultural labour to supplement their income. The Bhil women do most of the work at home and in the fields. They wear very colourful dress and deck themselves with a profusion of silver jewellery. They worship many deities, some connected with crops, water, mountains and forests. (Consultant for text : B. K. Roy Burman) |

Tuensang District, the home of the khiamngan Nagas lies on the extreme fringe of this hilly region. They live on hill-tops, often two or more exogamous clans jointly govern villages. They practice jhum (shifting) cultivation; Mia and Tsokum, their traditional festivals, mark the sowing and harvesting seasons. Daos (swords) and spear-heads used by the Khiamngan Nagas reveal a high level of craftsmanship. Basketry is an important industry. Beautiful shawls, bright blue with red squares, embroidered in dog?s hair is their speciality. They are pictures-que in their apparel, and adorn themselves with ornaments during ceremonial dancing.
