Adivasi rights and exclusion in India
Contributor(s): Srinivasa Rao, V.
Publisher: New york Routledge 2019Description: xxi, 355p.ISBN: 9780367247362.Subject(s): Sociology -- Indigenous peoples -- Social conditions -- IndiaDDC classification: 305.800954 Summary: This volume examines the processes and impacts of exclusion on the Adivasis (tribal or indigenous people) in India and what repercussions these have for their constitutional rights. The chapters explore a wide range of issues connected to the idea of exclusion -- land and forest resources, habitats and livelihoods, health and disease management, gender relations, language and schooling, water resources, poverty, governance, markets and technology, and development challenges -- through case studies from different parts of the country. The book argues that any laws intended to safeguard the fundamental rights of Adivasis must acknowledge the fact that their diverse and complex identities are not homogenous, and that uniform laws have failed to address their systemic marginalisation since the colonial era. This work appeals for serious and meaningful political intervention towards tribal development.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
