Abstract

In India, the dense population of tribes is concentrated in the forest areas of Jharkhand state and its surrounding Gondwana plateau. Among the tribes, Munda is considered important not only from the point of view of population but also from the point of view of its culture and religious heritage. Munda tribe is a distinct group of Austric language community and Proto-Australoid species. The identity of Munda is clearly visible in their unique culture, their distinct religion, their traditional ways of life. They have had a deep connection with their natural resources for centuries. The Munda community leads an efficient life by using various natural resources and following systematic customs, living within social limits. There is a need to understand and know the deep tradition of social life philosophy of Mundas in the context of time.
