A) Santhals
B) Gond
C) Bhils
D) Baiga

Answer 1

Hint: The tribes of Jharkhand are made up of the 32 Schedule Tribe in the state of Jharkhand in India. In 1872, only 18 tribes were annexed to the scheduling tribe of which Banjara, Bhatudi, Chik Baraik and Mahli were identified as semi-Hindu Aboriginals and Kora as prolate Hindus.

Complete answer:
The population of the scheduled tribes in the year 2011 as per the census were Eighty lakh sixty four thousand and forty-two of the total population of the state. The overall education level of the STs has been increasing from the past years but despite the recovery of the literacy rates in tribes is still lower than that of all the STs at the national level.

Santhal tribes are ethnic tribes and are located in native India and Bangladesh. They are the largest tribe in Jharkhand and they can be found in the states of Assam, Tripura, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and West Bengal. They have a huge population in Nepal and Bhutan and they only communicate in Santhali which is the most widely spoken of the Munda language. Their original homeland was in the Southeast of the Chota Nagpur plateau, but the modern-day southern Jharkhand and northern Odisha can be found easily. They also developed wet-rice agriculture. The Britishers helped them to enhance the revenue through agriculture as they encouraged the other groups to do settled agriculture

So, the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Jharkhand is full of good quality salt forest and therefore wooden works of art in the "should" of the tribals. Wood is used for cooking, housing, agriculture, fishing, etc. Tribal artists in some villages have explored their creativity in art, such as beautifully decorated door panels, toys, boxes, and other household items. Painting is mainly a source of livelihood for the Hyhyh tribe of Jharkhand and practiced in the region of Santhal Pargana and nearby areas.
