The Narikuravar ((タミル語:நரிக்குறவர்) ) is an indigenous community from Indian state of Tamil Nadu.〔(About the Narikurava ) ''nafra.org''. Retrieved 29 September 2013〕 The main occupation of the people who originally belong to the indigenous tribes, is hunting. But as they were prohibited entry into the forests to pursue this livelihood, they were forced to take up other alternatives such as selling beaded ornaments to survive. Hence, they migrate from place to place to find a market for their beads. Children accompany the adults wherever they go, which means they never get to attend school. During British rule in India they were placed under Criminal Tribes Act 1871, hence stigmatized for a long time, after Independence. However, they were denotified in 1952, though the stigma continues . In September 2013 Narikkuravas got enlisted as a Scheduled Tribe,〔(Narikuravas granted Scheduled Tribes status ) ''thehindu.com''. Retrieved 29 September 2013〕 which status is already enjoyed by Hakki Pikki of Karnataka.〔(Hakki Pikki (Indic people) ) ''.loc.gov''. Retrieved 29 September 2013〕 == Etymology == The word "Narikurava" is a combination of the Tamil words "Nari" and "Kurava" meaning "jackal people".〔The Land Pirates of India, Pg 64〕 of the "fox people"〔Viramma, p 287〕 This appellation has been bestowed upon them due to their adeptness in hunting and trapping jackals.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Narikurava」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
