Indian Tribes

The document lists various tribes found across different states in India. It categorizes the tribes into five major racial groups - Negritos, Proto-Australoids, Mongoloids, Mediterranean, and Brachycephalic Nordics. The Negritos were likely the earliest arrivals in India and are found in parts of Northeast India and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Proto-Australoids include tribes settled in central and southern India. Mongoloids inhabit regions of Northeast India and the Himalayan belt. Mediterranean and Brachycephalic groups originated from western parts of South Asia. The largest tribal group in India is the Gond, who are a Proto-Dravidian racial group speaking the Gondi language
