Folk and tribal culture in transition: Exploring challenges and solutions

A person living in any society is identified by his culture. Food, lifestyle, clothing and language introduce a person, a region and a culture. Every country has its own cultural heritage. When we talk about culture in the context of a large country like India, every region has its own culture. That is why it is also considered a country with cultural diversity. But at present, due to increasing westernization, the youth are ignoring their culture and are getting attracted towards western culture, which is a big sign of cultural decline. Therefore, it becomes necessary that special efforts should be made to save the traditional culture. Refinement in culture with the time is necessary, but only to the extent that it does not harm the originality of the culture. The presented research paper discusses the challenges faced by folk and tribal culture and highlights such strategies through which folk and tribal culture can be preserved and promoted. This article highlights the need for a balanced approach that respects traditional practices while adapting to contemporary needs and supports the inclusion of the knowledge traditions of these tribes in educational activities so that these knowledge traditions do not get extinct in the fast race of modernity.
