Munda people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Munda are a tribal (Adivasi) people of the Jharkhand region, which is spread over on five states of India (Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, Chhatisgarh and Orissa), and in parts of Bangladesh. Their language is Mundari, which belongs to the Munda family of Austro-Asiatic languages, which language family is in fact named after the Munda people. There are some two million Munda people (twenty lakhs).

About 25 percent of the population are Christians. Mundas have their own religion, called Sarna, in which they worship nature. They believe in a supreme being called Sing Bonga, which means literally "Sun God."
