Delta – Indigenous People: Adivasi Silver

Delta introduces the first in Series VI of the indigenous people with the ADIVASI people of India.

During the first decades of the 20th century, educated and politically active tribes from eastern central India started to use the Hindi/Sanskrit term “Adivasi”. This word consists of “adi” (original) and “vasi” (inhabitant). The self-designated name “adivasi” corresponds with the modern concept of “indigenous people”.
