Jarwa tribe

  Introduction The Jaroa are an isolated tribe of the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal, India. In the Andamanese language "Jaroa" means "Stranger", and at the same time the Jaroas identify themselves as "Ang". The life-tradition and culture of the Jaroas was almost unknown to us until the early eighteenth century. Later, when the British came to India at that time and started collecting research information about the Jaroah group, the Jaroah group came to be known to us as a distinct people.   Identity:  Although there is considerable disagreement about the original habitat of the Jaroads from the traditional point of view, some prominent anthropologists believe that the original home of the Jaroads was Africa. Descendants of the 'Jungil' tribe, the Jaroas migrated to the Andaman Islands about 55,000 years ago across a long sea route and have maintained their pure ethnic identity even today through adaptation.

santal

  Introduction : Santals are the most numerous of the tribes in India. The word Santal comes from Sawantar . This name they used even after coming to this country. According to some, they came to be known as Saostar or Santal because of their long residence in the Samantabhoomi or Saost country adjacent to Medinipur. At present most of the Santals live around the Santal Parganas. The topography of this vast region is full of diversity.  On the west lies the rugged undulating terrain of Jharkhand, and on the other (east) the alluvial plains. In this vast land, the Santal population has largely merged to survive. 1 Habitat  Santals live in the tea estates of Bihar Santal Parganas, Dhaka, Munger, Bhagalpur, Hazaribagh, Purnia, Manbhum, Singhbhum, Odisha's Mayurbhanj, West Bengal's Medinipur, Purulia, Malda, North Bengal and Assam. 2.Ethic identity According to the caste theory, the Santals are descendants of the Dravidian group, whose main source is the Austro-Asiatic

Kirghiz

 Kirghiz                Location:  The Kyrgyz live in the western part of the step meadows north of the Tiansan Mountains, a continental location in Central Asia. As this region is isolated from the original civilization, its communication with the developed regions of the country is very weak. Although there is little contact with Russia's developed regions in the north, the Xian Desert and the Tibetan Plateau in the south have separated them from China and India. These are separated by arid desert regions to the east and west. However, they occasionally came in contact with other nomadic groups, the Mongols and the Turkmen. Environment:  The topography is diverse. The plateaus of the south have been lowered and gradually merged into the vast plains of the north. The highest point of the plateau is the highest Tiansan Mountains in the far south from 3000 to 4000 meters. Climate:  The climate is extreme for continental location i.e. far from sea. The maximum temperature in summer a
