Birjias and their Culture

<p>There are 32 scheduled tribes in Jharkhand out of which eight are listed in Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). Birjia tribe being one of them. Birjia is a very small community of only 5356 persons according to 2001 census. It is also known as one of the vanishing tribes. Birjias are in small pockets four districts of Jharkhand and have a very rich culture. They have still maintained their language known as Birjia. </p><p>“Birjias and Their Culture” is the first detailed written book. It has recorded various unique customs and practices. No one knows how long the tribe will survive in this fast changing world. The government and some NGOs are trying their best to preserve them but the result is far behind the expectation. We hope more and more people that are generous come forward to their aid.  </p><p>Read and learn interesting information about them before they disappear.  </p>
