What are the political and social debates on the definition of the nomenclature ‘tribe’?

A tribe can be defined as a social section within a traditional society that consists of families that are connected through lines of economic, social, blood or religious ties, and aso share a common dialect and culture.

The word “tribe”, derived from the Latin term “tribus” has since been transformed to mean, “A group of persons forming a community and claiming descent from a common ancestor”. Tribes are found in all parts of India, except a few states and union territories. In India, tribal people are known by many names, such as ‘adivasi’ (original settlers), ‘scheduled tribes’ (anusuchit janajati) and ‘tribes’. According to the Census of 2011 the total population of scheduled tribes in India is at 10,42,81,034 persons, constituting 8.6 per cent of the population of the country. In India geographical distribution of tribal population is not uniform. Everywhere they have adapted to the local ways of living, thus cultural differences are quite visible within the same community. Bhils are the largest tribal group in India, followed by Gonds, Santhals, and Meenas. Tribe is a contentious term vis-à-vis the issue.
