Tribal and Human Rights

The chapters in this book provide a panoramic view of the various provisions in national legislations as well as of the multilateral conventions and treaties, tracing them from their evolutionary stage. The chapters also highlight the limitations and atrocities caused to economic, social and cultural rights of tribal people, including tribal children, of India. The stark and gross violation of not only human rights but also their rights to be human is demonstrated by the empirical study of the tribal people in various states in India. The tribal people have been deprived, displaced and dispossessed of their cultural and traditional rights too under the grab of development of the districts inhabited by them.
