Issues relating to tribal development: policies, strategies, structures and programmes and related problems have been discussed in an historical perspective. Problems relating to indebtedness, landalienation, poverty and low-productivity as trouble the tribals largely have also been studied. For the first time an attempt has been made in an exhaustive manner to ascertain the impact of changing excise policy on the drinking patterns and on the social and economic conditions of the tribal people of India in general and of Rajasthan in particular. An holistic, dischronic and ethnographic approach has been adopted to study the problem of drinking and to suggest a strategy to decrease its depressing effect on the pace of tribal development as forms a crucial constitutional commitment.
