Agaria

Agaria

Agaria is one of little known tribes of Madhya Pradesh in India. The Agarias are closely related to the Gonds. They have been metal workers from time immemorial. They are called Agarias because of their little furnaces, which are used for conversion of iron-ore into iron for making the metal malleable for manufacture of weapons and agricultural implements. The Agarias live in close juxtaposition with both the Baigas and Gonds.
