A tribe living in central and eastern India, with a population of about 6 million, particularly concentrated in the hills of Chota Nagpur in Bihar. Originally from northwestern India, they migrated to this area following the Aryan invasion. Racially, they are Proto-Australoid, and linguistically, they belong to the Austroasiatic family that is widespread in mainland Southeast Asia. Munda means "wealthy and respected" and is the name used by Hindu people, while the Munda themselves call themselves "Horo", which means human.
