Tribal India

In this voluminous work, eminent scholars and anthropologists have critically dealt with various problems the inhabitants of Tribal India encounter in their day to day life. Different studies deal with the policies of tribal welfare, area specific or state level issues, issues relating to the impact of the problems like industrialization, agricultural development etc. This prestigious work gives a vivid account on the policies regarding tribal development., , “ My decades- Long research experience and intimate contact with the tribal people inhabiting in different parts of India in different ecological settings and having different economic pursuit and social organization, inspired me to make public the basic problems of the tribal people , types of development done to them with the idea that it may draw the attention of the people of India about the miseries and troubles, economic bankruptcy and pains of indebtedness, tortures and oppressions countrymen.” This I hope will enable us to realize the gravity of the problems, the real needs of our tribal brethren which may help in the formulation and implementation of proper welfare and development schemes from which these poor souls may harvest the real and maximum benefits and thereby the purpose for which these schemes have been implemented, will achieve a real success. Thus these backward people who for centuries are remaining below the poverty line and are submerged in the sea of the sea of crisis, may see the ray of hope for a brighter and better prospects, if not for them, at least for their further progeny.” About The Dr. Manis Kumar Raha graduated rom the University of Calcutta in 1956 and passed Special Honours in Anthropology in 1958.
