Bhils are a tribal people of central India. They speak Bhil languages, a group of Indic languages.
Bhils are a scheduled tribe in the states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan in western and central India, as well as in Tripura in far-eastern India, on the border with Bangladesh.
Bhils (Urdu: بھیل)) are also settled in Tharparkar district of Sindh in Pakistan.
The ghoomar dance is one well-known aspect of Bhil culture.
In feudal and colonial times, many Bhil were employed by the ruling Rajput in various capacities, e.g. as shikari because of their knowledge of the terrain.
