India is a land with diverse customs, races, cultures, religions, and castes. Among all the races tribes are the most ethnic group of Indian society. Even in the Epic texts like Mahabharata and Ramayana, we can find some tribal clans who helped the heroes in the forest and mountains. According to the 2011 census, 8.6% of the total population of India is tribal. About 550 tribes are living in different parts of the country. Most of them live on slopes of mountains or in forests. But nowadays these people are considered barbaric and boorish after the advancement of science and technology. Meanwhile, they are subjected to various issues and exploitations because of the development of society. Tribal people are debased from their habitat and they are forced to follow the modern culture. The ethnicity of these people gets ruined as they are linked with modern culture and non-tribal life. The modernisation of tribal culture is a trend nowadays and many have become a part of it. Modernity is an idea based on social changes such as industrialization, globalization, and consumerization. Modernity brings about changes that we can see everywhere, and it is an indefinable process. In some areas modernity is caused for progressive changes in society, whereas on the other side it leads to the destruction of society. It is very common in India that it take away tradition from the life of a tribal community. For instance, modernity brought drastic changes in the life of the Paniya Community in Wayanad. Many of their customs and practices are being changed.
