Irulas

Irulas are a scheduled tribe of India. Irulas are present in various parts of India, but are mainly located in the Thiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu. Their population in this region is estimated to be between 1000 to 2000. The tribes of Southern India are not tribes as in the sense of tribes in Polynesia of Africa, but rather segregated and inter-married communities descended directly through a pure blood line from the original humans who settled in South India after migrating from Africa.
