The largest tribal population is found in Khammam district (26.47% that is 682617 – 6.8 lakhs), followed by Visakapatnam district (5.58 lakhs). The tribal population of Andhra Pradesh increased from 7.67 to 52 lakhs in 50 years between 1951 and 2001. The substantial population increase between 1971 and 2001 was because of the recognition of the Sugali, Yerukula, Yanadi, Nakkala and other denotified, nomadic tribes as scheduled tribes in the entire state. The tribal communities in the state of Andhra Pradesh mostly exhibited Proto-Austroloid features. Chenchus and Yanadis exhibit some Negrito strain whereas the Khond and Savara have Mongoloid features. The tribal communities in Andhra Pradesh mainly belong to three linguistic families such as: Dravidian language family (Gondi, Koya, Kolami, Yerukula, and so on); Mundari language family (Savra, Godaba, and so on); Indo-Aryan language family (Banjara, and others).

  • Christian Song Tradition in India with Special Reference to Telugu
    CHRISTIAN SONG TRADITION IN INDIA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO TELUGU Solomon P. Raj The Land and the Missions Andhra Pradesh is one of the southern states in India on the East Coast, north of Madras and south of Orissa. Telugu is the language spoken in this region and it is a musical sounding language some times even claimed as 'the Italian of the East'. Protestant missions came to this area in the earlier part of the 19th century. Lutheran, Anglican, American Baptists, Canadian Baptists, English Brethren etc., worked in this region from that time onwards and most of the major churches are members of the regional Christian Council and some of these churches have joined the Church of South India as a Telugu language constituency of this bigger body. Fr. John Christian Frederick Heyer who came to India in 1842 is the founder of the Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church and other denomina- tions started working from about the same time. These mainline churches now have a common hymnbook to which we will be referring to as ACC Hymnal (the Andhra Christian Council hymnbook). But later on when several indigenous, non-mission churches started coming up, they also produced their own hymns taking some numbers from the ACC Hymnal. When the missionaries learnt the local language, and as Christian communities started worshiping in their own language, the missionaries . learnt Telugu language and translated some western hymns line by line into Telugu and people learnt to sing them in unison many times without the help of an organ. These translations of western hymns were sung to western tunes and today in the ACC Hymnal mentioned above, 138 such translations are found out of a total number of 640 songs.
