About the Book:- This book represents the voice of Tribal India. It encompasses the collection of chapters from tribal and non-tribal scholars addressing some of the pressing issues faced by the tribes in the Indian context. These issues intersect with global climate change, food insecurity, natural resources, like land, water, and forest, loss of culture and identity, diseases and pandemics, health, and well-being. This modestly attempted book aspires to provide insights to tribes multifaceted struggles, conflicts, and coping even as they continue to live and negotiate with the fast eving social reality, as an impetus to scholars and practitioners in Tribal Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Social work, and other allied disciplines.
