Bhil

 

Bhil, tribal people of west-central India, found mostly in the hills of Rājasthān, Gujarāt, and Mahārāshtra. They subsist on wild grains, fruits, roots, and insects and practice primitive agriculture. Religious practices have been influenced by Hinduism; however, belief in witchcraft predominates. Their dialects, unlike the Dravidian tongues more common among Indian tribal peoples, are related to Gujarati and other Indo-European Languages.
