North Indian Tribes have distinct cultural patterns. North India also encompasses many tribes. They occupy a major part in the history of India as they are considered as the true habitants of India. North India is also a region that has in the last couple of decades witnessed surging growth in every sphere of development. Comprising enormous states like Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, north India redefines and redraws lines of heavenly beauty and the Himalayan panorama.
The indigenous North Indian Tribes that reside in the steep terrains of the lofty Himalayas are described below:
Tribes of Himachal Pradesh: These tribes can be singled out for their looks, good conduct and religious behaviour towards every kind of situations and places. Revelry and merry-making makes the order of day for these north Indian tribes, with their occupations and daily earning bread being cattle rearing and spinning of wool.
Tribes of Jammu and Kashmir: With a number of tribes residing in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas, Jammu and Kashmir tribesmen are remarkable for their dressings and ornate ornamentation. They have strictly descended from the Indo-Aryan group of people, who believe in both Hinduism and Islam.
Tribes of Punjab: Punjab with its unique culture, tribesmen in Punjab completes a massive calculation under the north Indian tribes. The tribes of Punjab can be identified by their striking dresses, colourful attire and mellifluous songs.
Tribes of Uttar Pradesh: They comprise a colossal portion under the north Indian tribal section, with variety speaking out from every section and every sphere of daily life. They constitute the strong section of the society and form distinct ethnic groups which have maintained their own separate cultural identities in their original environment, despite the ravages of time.
Tribes of Uttarakhand: The tribal population of Uttarakhand is concentrated in the remote and forest areas of the state. Every district of Uttarakhand has a moderate percentage of tribal people. Some are of Mongoloid origin and have a nomadic or semi-nomadic way of life.
Tribes of Haryana: They are basically consisted of nomadic and semi-nomadic individuals, with a somewhat dilapidated condition of their social and economic condition. There are approximately 25 identified nomadic tribes, with their total count exceeding 15 lakh.
Hence, the North Indian tribes have to offer every new thing from every new sphere of living, regarding food, culture, dress or customs of ceremonies.
