Birth and Spirit of the Sixth Schedule
Framing of the Sixth Schedule law involved insightful discussions and reflects how concerned the Constitution makers were about the feelings and sentiments of the tribal population of the North East living in the colonial “Excluded” and “Partially Excluded” areas. The Sixth Schedule effectively eliminated their fear of exploitation by non-tribal outsiders and allowed Constitutional protection to their traditional lifestyle and traditions. Continue reading
Jharkhand State and Betrayal of Tribal Population
Jharkhand became the 28th state of India on November 15, 2000 – on the birth anniversary of legendary Birsa Munda (1875 – 1900). Although it was the result of a struggle for tribal identity, the Jharkhand tribes are already disillusioned by the current state of affairs. They have become more vulnerable than ever in their state. Continue reading
History of Tribal Struggle for Self-Rule in Jharkhand

Handing over land and its resources of the poorest section of people to those who will make some fast money and employ some urbanites is not development; it is insanity and injustice both. Continue reading
Status of the National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy
India still does not have a rational land acquisition law; it is still governed by the century old outdated colonial British Act. In fact, Indian leaders never considered displacement of poor people due to development projects an issue. Now in the liberalization, privatization, and globalization set up more and more tribals and other poor sections of rural India are increasingly facing the threat of displacement due to invasion of market forces. Therefore, a new comprehensive bill has been proposed but is waiting to see its hour in the parliament. Continue reading

Tribal People in India: Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Areas and Tribal Self-Rule
