This paper will examine the influence of the media on the Banjara tribes. Media allows us to share many information, entertain and make people aware about the current phenomenon. This paper will also explain how the Banjara tribal communities succeed in renovating their lifestyles and customs using multimedia.

IntroductionThe Latin English word for “tribe” comes from the Latin English word for “TRIBUS”. The Indian Tribal People settled in India with a unique culture. It also has a political and social organization. This tradition is still alive and well in all of these societies. The term “tribe” denotes a group or people who contribute to human society’s progress. India is a country that has different communication languages and social communities. Each community keeps its unique cultural and social characteristics. The Tribal Community in Telangana Region, specifically Lambada or Banjara, refers to common dialects, distinct cultures, and an adherence to the same dress and lifestyle. They share a similar culture, way-of-life tradition, and uniformity. Media plays an important role in the culture, tradition, and lifestyle of tribal people. It can have a negative impact on the culture and traditions of tribal people. The Telangana tribal (Lambada Tribes) The Telangana state’s population accounted for 64%. According to the 2011 census, 33 communities are listed as scheduled tribes. The highest population is the Lambada tribe. Also known as banjara and sugali, this community, which is often described as a nomadic population with roots in Malwar, Rajasthan, and spreading across India, is also called banjara, gormati, or banjara and sugali. They are found in remote areas such as hilly regions. This paper will examine the media’s impact on the tribe community of Telangana. It will also discuss how social media has influenced their traditional and cultural lives. Origin of Banjara (Lambadi). According to the banjaras, the Banjara tribe is from Malwar in Rajasthan state India. Banjara is believed be derived in Sankrit from vana charas, wanderers of the jungle. The Sankrit word sugali and Lambadi are derived from lavana (salt), their principal product. They believe that “Lal mati” was the British term for tallest people. In the British period, they were also known as “Lal mati”. The Lambadi people are called Bnjara, gormati, sugali, and Lambadi’s. They are often considered to be nomadic tribesmen who have their origins in Rajasthan. They migrated into Telangana around 230 CE from Satavahana’s dynasty. Lambadi tribes have been practicing this tradition since the time of Prithviraj chauhan. They were considered to be well-developed and commendable in some areas, while others are poor. Lifestyle of Banjara Tribes. The banjara tribes produced India’s first agriculture items by cultivating their Javari, rice, and barley. They believed the Indians and British were responsible for the Indian food item trade, which grew exponentially without credit to the banjara community. The community has felt resentful about this, and it now relies on farming and trading to sustain itself (each household in the community owns a piece of land for this). The Banjara Tribes of Telangana are on the verge to extinction. These people are not hunters and do not cultivate crops or trade goods. Communication among Banjara TribesCommunication was a vital part of humanity’s life. One day goes by without communication. This allows people to establish social connections, share knowledge, improve their lives and move on in their career. Communication is vital for economic development. However, communication is also a means of communication between tribal people (Banjara), as well as common men. The Lambadi would like to explore new cultures and languages in the 21st Century. They are proud of their native language and have made great strides in educating the village people through communication, radio, TV and print media. They can communicate with one another in a tribal common language. The media was influenced in Hyderabad district and Rangareddy. We will fund more Lambadies in Achaampet and Nalgonda in Kammam. We can also fund people in kothagudem. These are the major Lmbadies who speak their own languages. They live close to the cities, and settled on the edge of the forest that is not reserved by the government. They do not cultivate food crops or trade goods, and are not hunters. Media and Culture’s Role in Culture and TraditionMedia is plural for medium. Medium means communication. Mode of expression. The role of media communication is crucial in human development. It is also a major factor in many people’s lives changing and it offers great opportunities for growth and advancement. William A. Havilland, an American anthropologist, describes culture in his cultural anthropology. “Culture is a set or rules that, when applied to a group of people, results in behavior that falls within the acceptable range of behavior. In other words, culture does NOT refer to the behavior. Many modern definitions include emerging cultures “of society. Roop, rekha verma’s definition of culture in culture and modernity says that culture is “a system of expectation, value expression, value institutionization and enjoyment habit of people in general.” Many traditions are deliberately invested to enhance or highlight the institution’s importance. It is common to change traditions according to the times, which quickly becomes part of an ancient tradition. The media has focused attention on culture and tradition to help promote their traditional language. Mass media communication has had a profound impact on the culture of the Lambadi tribe. Each member of the tribe lives in a particular environment. Things like their families, schools, friends, neighbors, and so forth sap their individual identities. This is the daily interactions and small-scale communication they have with their environment and those around them. This type of culture is primarily oral and is formed mostly through word-of-mouth communication. Since the 19th Century, they have lived in a culture of mediation. Broader channels for public communication have emerged through the development of television, film, radio, television, and radio. They now see culture as part of a larger mediated world. It’s easy to see how the world has changed since 1960. Culture is simply a list of values and other guidelines that allow us to make sense out of our lives. It also involves their communication of ideas and values. Their modern culture is produced primarily by the mass media. Media receptions, media production, media texts and media singing are all interconnected circuits. Cultural values have an influence on what is produced. The way that the text is represented and formed is also affected. The biggest cultural festival held by the ethic community is Dance and music of the BanjaraBanjara Lambadi. It also hosts Teej festivals, Sevalal Jayanthi and the BanjaraBanjara Lambadi festival. They celebrate it in October Teej festival. Sevalal Jayanthi falls on February 14th. The biggest Indian cultural festival was first celebrated in 1980. For preserving the beauty and heritage of Banjara’s tradition, the Banjara tribe dancing is the most significant cultural heritage. They are proud to have it as a cultural symbol. They can celebrate their festivals and express their culture without restrictions or disruption from the authorities. The Lambadi people live under the police and military regimes, which restrict their economic freedom and religious rights. There are vastly different cultural behaviors in Lambadi than in other tribes of India or Telangana. Social Media and Tribal Advantages: The social media industry has seen rapid growth in recent years. Social media’s growth rate is surprisingly high. In just a few short years, social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and What’sApp have grown exponentially and attracted millions of users.
