No. Although both <span>people </span><span>and </span>peoples<span> are grammatically correct, they cannot be used interchangeably because they have different meanings.</span>

<span>Case 1: When you use it in the sense of </span>one people, many peoples:
<span>Here, </span>people<span> (singular) means a group of human beings belonging to a particular race/ethnicity. The plural of such groups is called </span>peoples.
<span>E.g. </span>
<span>The different peoples of the world have very diverse traditions.</span><span>The Ukrainians are a nice people.</span>
<span>Case 2: When you use it in the sense of </span>one person, many people:
<span>Here, </span>people<span> means a group of persons. This is the regular and most common usage of the word </span>people.
<span>E.g. </span>
<span>There are more than a billion people in India</span>
