The framers of Indian Constitution, keeping in view the socio-economic backwardness of the tribals, provided special status for their development in independent India. Gradually, many laws have been passed and a separate administrative system has been created in order to bring the tribals in the main stream of our ideal democratic system.This book on tribal law and administration comprises not only the constitutional safeguards and privileges accorded to the tribals, but also other legal aspects relating to them. It also includes constitutional amendments and a summary of laws passed by various states to protect the rights of tribals on land. Similarly, tribal administration has also been presented in historical perspective which starts from the administration of the tribal areas in the British regime.
