Tribal Populations in Tamil Nadu

To answer the question, we need to determine which tribe among the options is not indigenous to Tamil Nadu.

  • Kota: This tribe is native to the Nilgiri Mountains in Tamil Nadu.
  • Malasar: This community primarily resides in the forest areas of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, particularly in the Anamalai and Palani Hills. They are considered native to Tamil Nadu.
  • Kurumba: Several groups known as Kurumba tribes inhabit the Nilgiri region and surrounding areas of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. They are indigenous to Tamil Nadu.
  • Bhutia: The Bhutia tribe is primarily associated with the Himalayan regions, particularly Sikkim, West Bengal, and Bhutan. They are not native to Tamil Nadu.

Identifying the Non-Native Tribe

Based on the geographical distribution:

  • Kota, Malasar, and Kurumba are established tribal groups native to Tamil Nadu.
  • The Bhutia tribe's native region is distinct from Tamil Nadu.

Therefore, the Bhutia tribe is the correct answer as it is not native to Tamil Nadu.
