This book explores tribal land alienation problems in India and
tribal agitation against land encroachment and alienation. It
discusses India's tribal land problem and explains how despite
legislation to protect tribal lands, the problem has not been
resolved since neither the letter nor the spirit of the law has
been implemented. Due to continuous land encroachment and
alienation by outsiders, the negligence of the revenue
administration and the apathy of the central and state government,
the situation concerning tribal land in the country have became
precarious. In this context, the book highlights the process of
land estrangement among the tribes and the related movements,
focusing on the Narayanpatna land movement in the Koraput district
of Odisha. It argues that land remains a central issue that is
extremely important for tribes as it directly affects their life,
livelihood, freedom and development, and that the cultural
attachment of tribes and their views regarding the idea of 'place'
(land) furnishes crucial perspectives in understanding the politics
of collective resistance. It also discusses the politicization of
group identity and material interest against the outside authority
as the basis of the unrest among the tribes, and when the grudges
of the people are hardened due to insensitivity and tyranny, the
extent of tribal resistance escalates, leading to conflict between
the state and its own people. Given its scope, this book is a
valuable resource for students and research scholars, as well as
for policymakers and anyone interested in Indian democracy and
development in general, and tribal problems, issues and politics in
particular.

The present work is unique in its nature and spirit of encompassing
Dalit identity, literature and movements and compiling all the
necessity requisites of Dalit antiquity, making the authors
argument solid and building an alternative hegemony to the dominant
one especially in the Indian history. The author tries to theorize
Dalit literatures, movements and tries to build an all Indian
Dalit-identity through a separate Dalit epistemology and
alternative world view, in terms of separate Dalit
culture(Dravidian), civilization(Indus),
philosophy(Lokayat-Charvak-Buddhist) literature (protest
literature) and an inclusive identity all through the Indian
history, which includes all oppressed. The book more or less wants
to emphasize the discourse on 'Dalit' as a 'concept' Dalit as a
'condition' and Dalit as 'category'. The writer intend to highlight
in his argument, which runs through the book by different chapters,
that claims 'Dalit as an inclusive and encompassing category very
much similar to the Dalit panthers Definition'. Dalit as an
autonomous category which has its own characteristics, the 'Dalit
world' is within itself, which deconstruct the
dominant-Brahminic-bourgeois history.
