The Mannan tribes of Idukki District, being one of the scheduled tribes in India is one of the most back warded and unrecognised tribes of the state. Multiple researches were carried out on the anthropology, economic situation, nutritional profile and the transmission of their culture. A cross case analysis is conducted on the transitional phase of the tribes to gather a greater sense of the wide literatures published and to derive at a meaningful conclusion on their current and projected socio- economic and political state. The studies conducted by Dr. Sunil TK [Socio economic conditions of tribes in Idukki district with special reference to ‘mannan’ and ‘oorali’ tribal groups in the district] and Dr Clara M. A [Tribal life in transition- The Case of Mannans and Uralies of Periyar Tiger Reserve in Idukki District.]. is cross analysed to examine the similarities and patterns in their advance both culturally and economically.
