The Munda tribe calls themselves "Horko" or "Horoko," meaning "men" in their language. The term "Munda" means "headman of a village" and is not their self-designation. They are an Austroasiatic-speaking ethnic group mainly living in Jharkhand's Chhotanagpur Plateau. The name "Horko" reflects their indigenous identity distinct from externally assigned names during colonial periods.
