We were glad and full of
excitement to know that we were going to visit a Tribal Museum as part of our
current UOI — Self-Identity (Last of the 6 UOI Topics that we inquired this
academic year). We had never visited this type of Museum before. The Museum is
located in Masab Tank, Hyderabad. The Museum depicts the life and culture of
tribal people — people who live in forests.
We watched a movie which
described the traditions, trends, rules, and regulations of the tribes and the
traits they possess like gentleness, etc. We also got to know that tribal
people are mostly found in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka.
The Museum had life-size
figures of tribal people and models of houses they live in. The houses had
specific names according to their type. The men wore dhotis and the women wore
sarees. Their children went to English and Telugu Medium Schools. They earn
their living by growing crops, selling toys, and colorful bead necklaces. They
cook in pots on firewood and they eat food like us. They do not have
electricity supply in their houses. They speak in their local dialect. It was
an interesting and enjoyable Field Trip.
