How are weekly tribal markets socially embedded?
People from surrounding villages come to sell their agricultural or other produce and to buy manufactured goods in these markets. Money-lenders, entertainers and a host of other specialists offer their services to local people in there markets. These people come from outside the local area. Thus, these markets exhibit a mass gathering on each week day and an organised society of buyers and sellers is formed A number of people come to meet their kins, to arrange marriages and exchange gossips in these markets.
