Saving extinct communities

Living a life by the extinct communities is to eat, drink and be merry. They do not have direct link with the market economy for their livelihoods. The are lagging behind others, especially; in respect of education. Education is the vehicle for self-realisation .Simply being educated may not lead to the realization. Unless, both educated and self-realization  of the situation of the communities; when reflected in a person and that person may emerge as a leader to save the community from extinction.  Besides, although some are educated but unable to lead the right direction for their survival under coverage of the provision of the laws of the land. One such community in India which is having 500 population; is known as "Jarwa" of Andaman and the last Jarwa speaker who was a lady died in 2013. With her death, the Jarwa language is no more. Likewise, many more communities may face extinction from the face of the earth. The Tripuris with other 18 communities of Tripura in India is demanding self determination under Article 2 & 3 of the Constitution of India by elevating Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council(TTAADC) in to full-fledged State "Tipraland" as they have become minority(23%)  within 68 years of Tripura's merger on 15th October, 1949 with Indian Union.
