DISTRIBUTION From the point of view of distribution and diversity of the tribal population, India can be divided into seven zones.
1. North Zone This zone covers Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, sub-Himalayan Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Bihar. The prominent tribes here are Khasa, Tharu, Bhoksa, Bhotias, Gujjars and the Jaunsaris. Khasas are a polyandrous tribe. Bhotias make carpets and are involved in the Indo-China border trade. The Gujjars are a pastoral tribe.
The major problems of the tribes of this zone are inaccessibility, lack of communication, poverty, illiteracy and land alienation.
