The Halba are a tribe in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha in India. They speak the Halbi language[1][2] and mostly farm.[3] They are a mixed tribe (or tribal caste) descended from Gonds and Hindus.[4] Linguistic evidence indicates they are an aboriginal tribe who adopted Hinduism and an Indo-European language.[5][6][7]
The Halba ancestors were cultivators and farm servants who lived south of the Raipur district, or Kanker and Bastar State; from here small numbers spread to Bhandara district, parts of Berar Province and into the Koraput district of Odisha.[8][7]
