An outcome of a national seminar, this book attempts to take stock of the status of tribal identity with reference to national development and globalization in the historical perspective. It also underlines factors and conditions responsible for origin, functioning and change in indices of tribal identity, emergence of new identity, interface between traditional and modern identity and overall impact of changes in identity on their material and non-material culture as well as their physical and social quality of life. Besides scholars and students of tribal studies, the book will also be useful for thinkers, policy makers and planners.
