DEMOGRAPHY OF GOR-BANJARA -TRIBES: TOWARDS SOCIO-ECONOMIC ANDPOLITICAL REPRESENTATION OF MARATHWADA REIGION INDIAN STATES.
The present research article aims to analyse the “Banjara Population towards Socioeconomic and Political Representation in Indian States”. For the last thousand year there have been tremendous changes in the mode of living of all human beings but at the movement on the verge of 21st century. In the from the Banjara People we find human being still helpless, fearful, ignorant their life has not improved from the primitive, pastoral times to this date. Banjara people as a wandering tribe migrated from place to place and moving with their 50 to 60 thousand cattle, Captain Briggs, (1818) and carrying on hunting and food gathering.Banjara community is basically known as Nature worshiper, surname and clan are bounded as per week, month, year and Nakshatr. Such as, Chavan-6 clan, Aade-7 clan, Pawar-12 clan, Rathod-27 clan, and Jadhav-52 clan.Primarily, although quite disappointing, ours is the country founded on castes rather than agriculture. Ever since antiquity varied religious communities have taken shelter in India conversing in innumerable dialects. In order to draw together detailed information about social, cultural, economic conditions of the populace herein the British government began to conduct the first ever caste-wise census from the year 1871. According, to Grierson, (1891), Linguistic Survey of India, population of Banjara was counted more than 69 thousand as per Banjara dialect. Afterward, British carried caste-wise census up to 1931- 41decades until they freed India. The decade 1941 too accumulated population details as per caste-wise census patterns; but it was not declared publicly which leaves space for speculations at the behest of underhanded orthodox Hindu policies. Since then none of the governments have dared to attempt a caste-wise censure till date.
