About the Book
A significant portion of India’s diverse population consists of tribal communities. This volume delves into their unique customs, traditions, and their deep-rooted relationship with nature. It provides critical insights into the challenges tribal communities face in an era of globalization, liberalization, and privatization. As tribals grapple with unfamiliar capitalist systems, they encounter disruptions that threaten their cultural identity and socio-economic well-being.
The book highlights the Indian government's initiatives to preserve the socio-cultural fabric of tribal life through constitutional safeguards related to education, economic security, cultural preservation, and political empowerment. It offers a holistic view of tribal realities and is an essential read for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the socio-cultural dynamics of tribal life in India.
