Attempts to study the various castes and tribes in India in a systematic way have been going on recently on a large scale. Anthropologists, researchers and scholars are making concrete and meaningful attempts to study the world of the marginalized community, the reality of their social, cultural, historical life. Although the deprived society was not strong and advanced, the process of cultural relations and convergence was special and continuous in this community. In fact, Western scholars and Christian missionaries had mainly focused on the study of tribal communities. As a result, why do they stay nonaligned from civil society? And therefore an attempt to find out about this study started in this view.

In the post-independence era, efforts were made to look at this community positively, i.e., the first list of tribal tribes was published in the year 1950. And another list was also published in the year 1976. According to the data obtained from the census of the year 1991, and its detailed information has been discussed further in this study. Overall tribal communities have been included in 'Scheduled Tribe'. According to Article No. 342 (1) of the Constitution of India, which are included in the Scheduled Tribes. They are known as ‘Scheduled Tribes'. The purpose of the present research paper is to examine the detailed information about the tribal movement in Maharashtra in today's perspective and to make a detailed study of it.
