Historically the Adivasis ('indigenous people' or 'original inhabitants' of India) are perceived as “sub-humans” to be kept in isolation, or as 'primitives' living in remote and backward regions. They were classless and egalitarian, organized in a community-based economic systems, symbiotic with nature. The Khond and other groups of Orissa lived in forests rich of minerals useful to modern profit and actually only few have not been displaced by a violent process of land expropriation. These images show the Orissa Adivasis de-tribalized groups (Kondh) and their attempt to preserve their dignity and traditions.
