About Santal People
The Santal (Santhal) tribe is one of the largest Indigenous communities of India, with significant populations in Bangladesh and smaller communities in Nepal and Bhutan. In India, they are primarily concentrated in Jharkhand, followed by West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, and Assam. The Santals have a rich cultural heritage, with distinct customs, traditions, festivals, and social practices preserved over generations. Many follow the Sarna faith, centered on nature worship and ancestral traditions. They speak Santali, the most widely spoken language of the Munda branch of the Austroasiatic language family, and it is recognized in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
