About the Book:

This book is a comprehensive and scientific effort to understand tribal society from a sociological perspective. It delves into various aspects of tribal society, including religion, marriage, family, kinship, and economy. It presents an in-depth analysis of how tribal society interacts with the mainstream of the nation, identifying factors that have led to the backwardness of some tribal groups. Alongside this analysis, the book offers solutions and suggestions to address the problems faced by these communities.

The book covers the concept of tribe, its distinction from caste, the demographic profile of tribals, and the classification of tribal groups. It examines socio-cultural profiles, the status of women, tribal marriage, kinship systems, religious beliefs, practices, and cultural traditions. It also touches upon tribal language, social mobility, and change, along with the tribal movements during both the colonial and post-independence periods. Finally, it discusses tribal integration, identity, and profiles the major tribal groups of India.

This work is not just an academic study but a thorough examination of the complexities surrounding tribal communities, highlighting the need for their integration and empowerment within the broader societal context.
