This book is about the presence of the absent- the tribes of
Punjab, India, many of them still nomadic, constituting the poorest
of the poor in the state. Drawing on exhaustive fieldwork and
ethnographic accounts of more than 750 respondents, it explores the
occupational change across generations to prove their presence in
the state before the Criminal Tribes Act was implemented in 1871.
The archival reports reveal the atrocities unleashed by the
colonial government on these people. The volume shows how the
post-colonial government too has proved no different; it has done
little to bring them into the mainstream society by not exploiting
their traditional expertise or equipping them with modern skills.
This book will be of great interest to scholars of sociology,
social anthropology, social history, public policy, development
studies, tribal communities and South Asian studies.
