Kol people
The Kol people are a tribe in Uttar Pradesh, India, who migrated there from central India around five centuries ago. Mostly landless and dependent on forest produce to make a living, they are Hindus and are designated a Scheduled Caste under India's system of positive discrimination. The tribe has several exogamous clans, including the Barawire, Bhil, Chero, Monasi, Rautia, Rojaboria and Thaluria. They speak the Baghelkhandi dialect.[1]
