In Savage Attack: Tribal Insurgency in India the authors ask
whether there is anything particularly adivasi about the forms of
resistance that have been labelled as adivasi movements. What does
it mean to speak about adivasi as opposed to peasant resistance?
Can one differentiate adivasi resistance from that of other lower
castes such as the dalits? In this volume the authors move beyond
stereotypes of tribal rebellion to argue that it is important to
explore how and why particular forms of resistance are depicted as
adivasi issues at particular points in time. Interpretations that
have depicted adivasis as a united and highly politicised group of
people have romanticised and demonized tribal society and history,
thus denying the individuals and communities involved any real
agency. Both the interpretations of the state and of left-wing
supporters of tribal insurgencies have continued to ignore the
complex realities of tribal life and the variety in the expressions
of political activism that have resulted across the length and
breadth of the Indian subcontinent.
