India has witnessed a sea change in its social structure and
political culture since Independence. Despite the developmental
model that the country opted for, the hangover of the Raj continued
to encourage fissiparous tendencies dividing the Indian populace on
the basis of religion, ethnicity and caste hierarchy. This book
argues for the need to develop a fresh approach to dismantling the
stereotypes that have boxed the study of India's tribal
communities. It underlines the significance of region-specific
strategies in place of an overarching umbrella scheme for all
Indian tribes. The author studies tribes in the context of changing
political and social identity, gender, extremism, caste dimensions,
development issues, and offers a new perspective on tribes to
accommodate the diversity and transformations within culture over
time and through globalization. Lucid, accessible and rooted in
contemporary realities, this volume will be of great interest to
scholars and researchers of sociology and social anthropology,
tribal studies, subaltern and third world studies, and politics.
