Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Unlike the British Colonial government who considered Adivasis to be exotic, primitive and backward and the forests used by them as a waste of natural resources, Adivasis in actuality are very skilled and resourceful groups. These people are totally self-sufficient in their own community, and they don't have to rely on any outside means for their survival. For centuries, they have learned and adapted themselves with the information of forests, and they get their food, shelter, medicines, clothes, bamboo utensils from the forest itself. Adivasis might look backwards, but in reality they are developed and grown in their own sense.
So, the correct statement is, Adivasis are exotic but not primitive and backward.
