The Irulars are one of the most impoverished tribes in Tamil Nadu.

The Irulars are one of the most impoverished tribes in Tamil Nadu. These traditional forest-dwelling people have drifted towards cities and towns over generations.

NewsClick visited a couple of Irular settlements near Kanchipuram to get a first-hand account of their plight.
