Abstract
This research paper is kinship system in Munda and he people of Singhbhum District in the state of Jharkhand, India. Although it did not aim at answering to the ‘Munda question’, it highlighted some features, which appear not to belong to neither of the two large groups into which terminologies of the Indian sub-continent are conventionally divided, the Dravidian and the Indo-Aryan. As these features are shared with some other ‘tribal’ groups of Northern and Central India, the chapter identifies a possible avenue for future research.
