        abstract = {This article explores the complex socio-economic life of the Ho tribe in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha. With roots tracing back to the Proto-Australoid racial group and deep cultural ties to the forested lands of Jharkhand and Odisha, the Ho community represents both traditional tribal resilience and contemporary struggles in transitioning to modernity. Through an extensive review of literature, field data from Nipania village in Thakurmunda block, and demographic analysis, this article discusses the evolution of the Ho tribe’s livelihoods, family systems, social organization, religion, and their interaction with external forces such as colonialism and modern state mechanisms.},
