About this Video

The Samanthas or the Khonds of Visakhapatnam agency of Andhra Pradesh, India are one of the few surviving "primitive tribal groups". They speak the language called "Kuvi". Slash and burn cultivation is the major source of livelihood for the Samanthas. Though the modern commercial exploitation of forests has restricted the areas available to the native tribesmen, there remains several tribal societies in India representing various modes of archaic farming which followed in time that of hunters and gatherers.
