Even a cursory mapping of the spiritual-cultural landscape
reveals a deep symbiotic relationship between tribals
and nontribals, which is amply reflected in ancient literature and inscriptions.
Tribals have made an enormous contribution to India’s
civilization;all major gods of the Indic tradition have tribal links. Shiva was worshipped by forest-dwelling communities in large parts of the country, as were Vishnu’s incarnations as Varaha (boar) and Narasimha
(lion).Vishnu,in fact,evolved out of several distinct deities, notably Vasudeva, supreme lord of the Vrishni/Satvata tribe; Krishna of the Yadava clan;Gopala of the Abhira tribe; and Narayana of the Hindukush mountains. Similarly, Gautama Buddha hailed from the Sakya tribe; Vardhaman Mahavira was a scion of the Jnatrikas.
There is, to this day,a close relationship between the Kurumba, Lambadi, Yenadi, Yerukula and Chenchu tribes and Shri Venkateshwar of Tirupathi. Lord Ayyappan in Kerala and Mata
Vaishno Devi in Jammu also appear to have tribal links.
