Jatapus

The Jatapus are a sub-tribe of the Khonds in India. They speak Telugu and have in many ways adopted the culture of the surrounding people. There were over one million Jatapus in 1991.

Historically the Jatapus have lived in close connection with the Saoras. [ [http://www.escholarship.org/editions/view?docId=ft8r29p2r8&chunk.id=d0e486&toc.depth=100&brand=eschol "Tribes of India" (pub. 1909)] ]
