Papers included in this volume critically examine the potentials and the challenges in the process of development of marginalized people, with particular focus on tribal communities, in India right from the beginning of planning era to the present context of globalization. With distinct analytical frames and empirical findings, the papers highlight emerging issues relating to the development of tribal and other marginalized people. Precisely, the context explored in the volume essentially relates to the appropriateness of policies, programmes, approaches, strategies which have been followed and the nature and extent of achievements resulted in the process of development of the marginalised people ever since Independence. The policies and programme have been examined in recognition to the fact that development is neither a bipolar expression of presence or absence of macro indicators nor a linear process in economic sense; it is rather a multi-linear and comprehensive dynamics depending upon a system of self development of concerned people based on their cognitive structures, creative genius and corporate productive forces and resources. No doubt, the book will come handy for any one who needs/ wants to know the full range of development issues concerning the marginalised section of people of the country vis-à-vis various intervening forces.
