This volume, - Discusses the human development challenges faced by the Adivasis in India, covering the dismal state of health, education, and nutrition in Adivasi regions; - Explores key issues related to gender and development in an Adivasi context, the impact of the loss of common lands and forests on their traditional economic roles; - Presents the progress made thus far in implementing PESA and FRA; - Examines the current state of "Denotified Tribes" in India, the policy response of the state post-independence and the abrogation of the act, and discusses the immediate need for recognition of their political rights; - Highlights the importance of recognising, developing, and preserving Adivasi arts, music, dance, crafts, language and literature, and knowledge systems.
