Ranchi, Jharkhand . 2011
The Mundas have always been a shy tribe keeping to themselves in the jungles. They mostly reside near river, waterfalls and near the mountains. They procure there food and shelter from nature itself. Originally they were hunters and gatherers but with time they discovered the science of growing food for themselves and from a gatherer the Mundas became settlers making agriculture their main source of procuring food.
Currently the Mundas reside in villages and towns formed near mountains and jungles. To reach where they reside is still a task in itself. To reach where the tribe resides, rivers and lakes needs to be crossed as they are situated in remote places still untouched by excessive human civilization and technological advancement. But in the past few decades because of the government taking new initiative towards their development the geographical distinction of the tribe is fading away with the growing contact and insurgence of people outside the tribe.
