The vast regions of Asia contain the majority of the world's present-day indigenous populations, about 70% according to IGWIA figures. The most substantial populations are in India , which constitutionally recognises a range of " Scheduled Tribes " within its borders. These various peoples (collectively referred to as Adivasi s, or tribal peoples) number about 68 million (1991 census figures, approximately 8% of the total national population). SEE ALSO |
