The Culture of Hmar
Hmars speak Hindi, English and Hmas language in their day to day life.
They are primarily Baptist and follow Christianity. They are the
cultivators as they make their livelihood from farming. These medium
statured people beleive in their hands and are known for their bravery.
But then with the changing times, one can find pretty educated hmars
working in various field and making handicrafts. The handicrafts made by
Hmars usually depict scenes of battles, adventure, love, victory and
their history.
Hmars still believe in their traditional arts including the folk dance
and folk songs which they play during their various festivals.
.......The people which
we see in the normal day to day life are ones – who speak
the same language, wear almost the same clothes and have the
same variety of food. So where is the question of Tribes being
ALIVE come from? And do they exist. For all those who are in
doubt – there are tribes in India. Several of them and
covering all the parts of the country..........
