Abstract

This chapter is divided into three broad sections. The first section reconstructs the story of Ho rooted to a backward or no technology; the second explores the technological changes that conducted the transformation of material base of Ho life; and the last embodies the moral changes that shaped attitude and mentality in their life. Set in the pre-industrial backdrop, the present chapter attempts to historically reconstruct the story of transformation of Ho adivasis (tribals) from stone-age to iron-age technology that may help us in understanding to what extent this aided or impeded its graduation to industrial-age technology that later ruled over the world.
