India has always been described as a "melting pot" of races and
culture. Tribal in India is the most glaring example exploitation
indifferences and lack of appreciation for our divergent minority
groups. The present study is an attempt to study the enthnohistoric
and historiographic literature available on various aspects of
culture and society among diverse tribes across the world and the
Indian subcontinent and reveal the paucity of ethnohistoric and
historiographic research in India, especially the cultural aspects
of tribes in Andhra Pradesh. According to the 1991 census the
tribal population of India is 6,77,58, 380 constituting nearly 8.08
per cent to total population of the country. There are about 500
tribes in India existing and ethnogrpahic accounts cover a vast
majority of the tribes. All these ethnographic accounts provide
brief ethnohistoric descriptions of the tribes, all by way of
passing references. As such studies wholly devoted to an
examination of the history of the tribes are few. Even the
historians have not made any considerable effort to depict the
historiography of the tribes in India.
