Summary, etc. This book discusses India's aggregate tribal people from the standpoint of their distinct demographic patterns and behaviour. It suggests that these are often influenced and shaped by broadly common sociocultural features unique to these communities.<br/>The volume argues that the conceptual category of aggregate tribal population is valid not only in statistical and quantitative terms but is also a meaningful and functionally useful category. It proceeds to analyse and evaluate demographic features of aggregate tribes comparing them with their closest but marginalized non-tribal counterparts-the aggregate Scheduled Castes in India.<br/><br/>In its analysis of tribal population, the volume revisits key anthropological and historical concerns surrounding the notion of tribes in India. It discusses the nature, quality, and usefulness of census approaches and information relating to the tribal population. Further, the book presents an overview of long-. term demographic trends such as growth, regional distribution, and sex composition of the aggregate tribal population in a comparative perspective.<br/>Drawing on the analysis of long-term trends of tribal demography in Jharkhand as also among the Santhals in West Bengal, the book traces patterns of demographic behaviour, including migration among India's tribes.
