The impact of modernization on tribes can be understood from the following points:
1. Due to indiscriminate cutting of forests, the remaining forests have been conserved, which affects tribal life adversely, as they depend mostly on forest produce for their survival.
2. Due to lack of forest products, infertility of land and erosion of land, their economy has been destroyed and they resort to robbery and other crimes.
3. Because of limited agricultural land, increasing population and limitations of local resources, they have started to work as labourers in neighboouring cities and there they are exploited.
4. Due to their increasing contact with urban life, their food habits, attire and lifestyle have changed.
5. Trend of intoxication is increasing rapidly among them, so their economic condition is worsening day by day.
6. Because of expansion of education, awareness among them has increased and so they have started to join government services. This has changed their social life-style.
