the castes. Based on Vedic faith, Manusmrithi and culture, the castes were formulated according to the occupations.
According to ancient Hindu faith many of the castes were regarded as lower and others are higher. The lower castes

occupations. The term 'Adivasi' is derived from Sanskrit word 'atavika' means forest dwellers. They are also called
as Vanavasi or Girijans (hilly people). Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Rathod Patwardhan, (2013). Backward and Tribal Communities in Bidar District: A Social Work Approach.
