520			_aDuring the past few years, particularly ever since the approach of Tribal Sub-Plan was put into action, the tribal development has been a matter of great concern to us. The matters concerning the tribal life and culture, their welfare and future are much more talked over now than ever before. The layman who is otherwise intelligent and receptive hears or comes across news and views about tribal communities now-a-days almost every day and there fore he is inquisitive to know more about them. Among those who have little act with tribal communities and are not sufficiently acquainted with literatures on tribal life and culture, it is the general belief that the tribals are a single entity in respect of their language and culture; religion and society; occupation. and mode of life. In fact, as is well known, it is not so. The tribes of India possess a variety of culture. Every tribal group has a specific pattern of culture, artistic tradi tion and habits and customs. The people of a particular tribal group follow such occupations which their geographic surroundings and cultural background and their degree of progress give them the utmost satisfaction and greatest chance of survival. Thus different tribal groups have their own special ways both of working and living and hundred and one such factors distinguish them in many differnet ways from one another.
