Tribal self-government in India / by Douglas Sanders.: Z1-1991/1-41-26E-PDF

“The government of India states that it has the largest tribal population of any country. India is a complex, confusing place, and information on tribal life and government policies is not easily accessible, even in India. It is necessary to put tribal issues into the context of India as a whole and into the context of the constitutional order. Then we can attempt to see the evolution of government policy in the period since independence. In these contexts, perhaps the tribal autonomy struggles in the north-east and other parts of the country will become intelligible”--p. [7].
