Tribal India

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 organisation, 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 faced by the section of our countrymen."

"This I hope will enable us to realise 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.
