Abstract

Social media, which facilitates communication and brings people from all over the world together, is a really important piece of technology in today's world. Due to the widespread use of social media in India today, including Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram, the country is now catching up to the rest of the globe. India has a large population, therefore, thanks to 4G technology and the general public's addiction to the Internet, Internet speed has improved nowadays. Today, every citizen in the nation has a smartphone and a social media account. In this case, the tribal people are competing with India's technologically advanced population on social media by articulating their rights in a very beautiful manner. In the previous ten years, social media in India has undergone significant development, as can be seen, if we pay close attention. Additionally, this move is political. various political stances via social media to make people in one's community, caste, religion, and caste more aware of social perspectives and their rights while also disseminating this information through social media. Other significant issues deserve discussion, such as the fact that over the past few years, a number of mainstream TV media outlets in India have demonstrated that it is preferable to inform the tribals of the absence of crucial news from the mainstream media because we understand them. Many people also observed that their news did not appear on the newspaper's front page. In order to distribute news consistently, they developed their own news channel using alternative print, TV, and social media outlets and made individuals in their own community and other communities aware of it while doing so. Social media is used to spread a variety of messages to the public, including disadvantages, complaints, demonstrations, and other messages.
