Adivasis and Stereotyping

Adivasis and stereotyping:

In Indian, we usually ‘showcase’ Adivasi communities in particular ways. Adivasis are invariably portrayed in very stereotypical ways – in colorful costumes, headgear and through their dancing.  Besides this, we seem to know very little about the realities of their lives. This often wrong leads to people believing that they are exotic, primitive and backward. Adivasi are blamed for their lake of advancement as they are believed to be resistant to change or new ideas.
