In all our ancient epics, the Ramayana, the Mahabhrata and the Kadambari of Banabhatta, tribal life has been dignified beautifully. Banabhatta has depicted Matangaka, a young hero of Sabar’s army as very strong and brave. Guha, the Nishadraj has been presented as a man of great power in the Ramayana. Sabari in the Ramayana is considered as an idol of devotion. Eklavya of the Mahabharata will be immortal because of his great sacrifice. The tribals have always proved themselves as courageous, loyal, devoted, honest and skilled. Women still enjoy great respect in all tribal communities. Unlike modern society, Nature is revered as mother by all tribals. But despite having all these qualities, due to modernization, today they have become the victims of injustice and exploitation.
