Nishada (niṣāda) is a tribe mentioned in ancient Indian literature (such as the epic Mahabharata). The ancient texts mention several kingdoms ruled by this tribe. In the Mahabharata, the Nishadas are described as hunters, fishermen, mountaineers or raiders that have the hills and the forests as their abode. They are linked with a king called Vena who became a slave to wrath and malice, and became unrighteous. Sages killed him for his malice and wrongdoings. In the epic Valmiki Ramayan there is a character named Guha who is from the Nishada clan, whom the central character of the epic Sri Ramchandra calles him 'aatmasamam' which literally means equal to his soul or among the best friends (Ramayan 2.50.33). There we also find praises of the Nishad community by the central character Shri Ramc
