Description
Comprehensively revised and updated, this second edition of Tribal Situation in India has been brought out based on reader?s feedback. After 1980, the tribal situation in India took a paradigm shift. The development went on as usual, but elite tribal groups have started raising voices for participation in various programmes and also started talking about preservation of tribal culture and identity. The old tradition of ethnographic studies is almost over. The development studies phase is there to see a sea change and the identity studies phase has been established. The Rio effect has made an impact here. The nature of tribal development as well as nature of tribal studies is changing. The book tries to capture the new trend in tribal development.
This book is an outcome of a seminar on ?Issues and Development of Tribal Community of Western India? organised at Tribal Research and Training Institute, Gujarat Vidyapith, Ahmedabad. Even though papers in this volume are mainly from Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, the book tries to capture an all-India perspective of issues in tribal development.
