The culture conscious tribes are able to preserve their social customs and dignified values. The most primitive tribes are Didayi, Bondas, Gadabas, Koyas, Kondhas and Sauras etc. The tribes are generally found to live in jungles and hilly regions, mostly inaccessible to other people and in the zones of less interaction. Their socio cultural and religious life is quite different to so called advance cultural groups of society. They practice self contained,self sufficient and outonomous subsistence economy but are lagging behind in external trade,visualizing in different participation and interest in political activities and surrounding events. They are having some special silent features which make them unique.
