About the Totos in short: Totos are one of the smallest Indigenous tribes in the world. They reside in Totopara, a village sitting at the foothills of Himalayas along the northern border of West Bengal in India and Bhutan. They were once on the brink of extinction, about 350 during India’s independence in 1947 and now, their population is estimated at 1,632 (2022 Census). Their native language ‘Toto’ is one of the critically endangered languages globally as declared by UNESCO. The Totos are now embracing different facets of globalisation, some gracefully, some due to the force of the inevitable. A tribe that is trying their best to maintain a balance between the traditional culture and the allure of assimilation with city, modernity and a globalised life.
