Subtopic 4.1: Where they are placed

The match in this paper puts the Kora in Katihar, the Oraon in Champaran, the Gorait in Bhojpur and the Chero in Gaya. The Kora also live in Jamui, speak Hindi, and settle on hill heights and in the plains. Their livelihood is agriculture, forest produce and wage labour.
The Oraon are Proto-Australoid. The claim that they are absent from Bhabua, and that their religion lacks nature worship, is not the keyed correct statement. They are matched with Christian features. The Munda are matched with Khuntkatti, the Kharwar with grass worship, and the Chero with Chauhan Rajputs.
The Gorait are a major tribe of Bihar and Jharkhand. Only the statement that their family tends to be nuclear is marked true. The Korwa marry within the community, are also named with Purnia, and their social unit is the nuclear family. They are not a high percentage of India's Scheduled Tribes.
