While tribal communities may not seem to possess the scientific temper, there are many ideas from tribal conventions that could enrich modern societies.
Answer :
Although the tribal communities didn’t quite possess the scientific temper, their way of living teaches a lot. Their close relationship with the nature and its offerings is appreciable. They are untouched by the evils of the society that haunt us today. The Kondh tribe for instance do not follow the practice of dowry, instead they fix a price for the bride which the groom pays in cash or kind. Their simple way of living and their proximity with the nature is a lesson for the modern societies.
