Q. Paliyar Tribe, recently in news, mainly resides in which state?
Answer:
Tamil Nadu
Notes: Recent research on Paliyar Tribals in Kodaikanal and Theni areas urges immediate government action for their upliftment. Derived from "Palaniyan" in Tamil, they're also known as Paliyans, Pazhaiyarares, and Panaiyars. Distributed in Tamil Nadu districts, they speak Tamil and traditionally hunted and gathered. They worship Vanadevadai and Karuppan. They bury their dead on the western side of their residential area, avoiding cremation.
