They even try to impose their culture on them. Even today Such an attempt is going on. Some of the tribal leaders have now started popularizing the tribal religion. These different propaganda dances have created a great confusion for them, the cultural gap between the stabilized and the tribal people is coming in the way of assimilation and integration of tribal people into the mainstream of the national life of India.

The tribal people are economically the poorest people of India. the majority of them live below the poverty line. The tribal economy is based on agriculture of the crudest type. The main economic problems of the tribal are explained below-:
- Exploitation - The innocents, illiteracy and helplessness of the tribal are exploited by the outsiders. The British policy, in particular, had led to ruthless exploitation of the tribal in various ways as it's favored the zamindars, landlords, money lenders, forest contractors and police officials.
- An profitable agriculture - About 90% of the tribal are engaged in cultivation and most of them landless and practice shifting cultivation. The need to be helped in adopting new methods of cultivation, the tribal possess economic Holdings because of which that crop yield is very less. A very small percentage of the population participate in occupational activities in the secondary and tertiary sectors .
- Problems of land ownership - A good portion of the land in the tribal areas has been legally transferred to non-tribal. Tribal demand that the lens should be returned to them. In fact the tribal had earlier employed much freedom to use the forest and hunt the animals.
Conclusion
We can derive that because of many problems that are being created by us and faced by the tribal can be one of the reason that why did in tribal interact much with outsiders it is just because we are a threat to their natural habitat that culture and to the religion and in order to interact with them we need to share the emotional bond and respect their culture language understanding and social circle as well.
But we as an individual cannot do all these things rather we need a supporting government who can help improving our interaction and improvising the tribesmen interaction with by imposing certain policies that would not become a threat to any of these two different groups
