This book looks at the contested relationship between Adivasis or
the indigenous peoples, migrants and the state in India. It delves
into the nature and dynamics of competition and resource conflicts
between the Adivasis and the migrants. Drawing on the ground
experiences of the Dandakaranya Project - when Bengali migrants
from erstwhile East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) were rehabilitated in
eastern and central India - the author traces the connection
between resource scarcity and the emergence of Naxalite politics in
the region in tandem with the key role played by the state. He
critically examines the way in which conflicts between these groups
emerged and interacted, were shaped and realised through acts and
agencies of various kinds, as well as their socio-economic,
cultural and political implications. The book explores the contexts
and reasons that have led to the dispossession, deprivation and
marginalisation of Adivasis. Through rich empirical data, this book
presents an in-depth analysis of a contemporary crisis. It will be
useful to scholars and researchers of political studies, South
Asian politics, conflict studies, political sociology, cultural
studies, sociology and social anthropology.

Handbook of Tribal Politics in India is undoubtedly the most
authoritative source for a systematic and comprehensive study of
this vibrant field of scholarship. Divided into three sections, the
chapters cover a broad range of themes ranging from a general
introduction to tribal politics to exploring contemporary issues
and concerns within the discipline. The book presents a trajectory
and authentic overview of tribal politics while keeping in mind the
changing relationship between tribal communities and democracy.
Using qualitative and quantitative data, it studies the role of
tribal political representatives in public policy-making, issues
related to communities, and the nature and dynamics of tribal
politics at the state and national levels. It explores the
patterns, conditions and challenges of tribes' participation in
electoral politics and presents the issues and agendas that will
continue to affect the tribal politics in future. This book is an
essential resource for teaching and research in political science
and other social science disciplines studying comparative political
dimensions.
