Since the 1990s, the Indigenous movement worldwide has become increasingly relevant to research in India, re-shaping the terms of engagement with Adivasi (Indigenous/tribal) peoples and their pasts. This book responds to the growing need for an inter-disciplinary re-assessment of Tribal studies in postcolonial India and defines a new agenda for Adivasi studies. It considers the existing conceptual and historical parameters of Tribal studies, as a means of addressing new approaches to histories of de-colonization and patterns of identity-formation that have become visible since national independence. Contributors address a number of important concerns, including the meaning of Indigenous studies in the context of globalised academic and political imaginaries, and the possibilities and pitfalls of constructions of indigeneity as both a foundational and a relational concept. A series of short editorial essays provide theoretical clarity to issues of representation, resistance, agency, recognition and marginality. The book is an essential read for students and scholars of Indian Sociology, Anthropology, History, Cultural Studies and Indigenous studies.

This book looks at the contested relationship between Adivasis or the indigenous peoples, migrants and the state in India. It delves into the nature and dynamics of competition and resource conflicts between the Adivasis and the migrants. Drawing on the ground experiences of the Dandakaranya Project – when Bengali migrants from erstwhile East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) were rehabilitated in eastern and central India – the author traces the connection between resource scarcity and the emergence of Naxalite politics in the region in tandem with the key role played by the state. He critically examines the way in which conflicts between these groups emerged and interacted, were shaped and realised through acts and agencies of various kinds, as well as their socio-economic, cultural and political implications. The book explores the contexts and reasons that have led to the dispossession, deprivation and marginalisation of Adivasis. Through rich empirical data, this book presents an in-depth analysis of a contemporary crisis. It will be useful to scholars and researchers of political studies, South Asian politics, conflict studies, political sociology, cultural studies, sociology and social anthropology.

The particular book tries to explore several facts regarding Adivasi politics and mobilization in colonial Chhotanagpur during the first half of the 20th century and recognizes its own historical importance and relevance which establishes the fact that the Adivasi Mahasabha, through its political discourses and participation and through the organizational set up, programmes and mobilization of Adivasis, recognized and established Adivasi identity. Adivasi Mahasabha became major socio-political and cultural front as well as a day to day movement for the Adivasis of Chhotanagpur region. There are some fundamental questions; mentioning here that if several Adivasi organizations such as Chhotanagpur Unnati Samaj, Chhotanagpur Catholic Sabha, Kishan Sabha, Munda Sabha and some others political front merged into Adivasi Mahasabha and accepted the secular mode of this particular organization then what was the actual reason behind the formation of Adivasi Sanatan Mahasabha? To what extent Christian Missionaries played a vital role in the making of Adivasi Mahasabha? How Adivasi Mahasabha mobilized the masses of Chhotanagpur and what tactics or programmes they used for channelizing the Adivasis of whole Chhotanagpur? How the leaders of Mahasabha indulged and participated in identity politics with Bihari Congressmen at the times of colonial Bihar? This particular book tries to find out the reasons that how and why Adivasi Mahasabha succeeded in mobilizing the Adivasi masses when there were very few transport facilities and the medium of information technology at that time. It also finds out the reason why the leadership of Adivasi Mahasabha was handed over to Jaipal Singh; why not the other Adivasi leader? What were historical importance of the 2nd Annual Session of Adivasi Mahasabha and its impact and role of Adivasi leadership in its success? How these Adivasi Conferences were conducted and how the opposition reacted and countered to it? What was the role of Adivasi women in the making of Adivasi Mahasabha and to what extent Adivasi women contributed in the success of these Adivasi conferences? How conflicts and controversies played important role among the Adivasis to unite and mobilize against the political opposition? This book reveals some interesting facts such as there were also some internal conflicts within Adivasi Mahasabha where several groups had their own political interests. Generally, we can categorise these conflicts into three major factions. First, it was the extremists who were against collaboration with any other political parties and they always wanted to be an independent or free from any political alliance. The second was those who wanted an alliance with Indian National Congress and majorly supported all congress initiatives. Third was the 'Sarna Adivasis' group who opposed the political agenda of Sanatan Adivasi Mahasabha but concerned only of Sarna Adivasis within Adivasi Mahasabha. Some other important internal rivalries, we can say it as controversy, were Jaipal Singh vs. Julius Tigga and Jaipal Singh vs. Justin Richard. These two internal rivalries were over after sometimes although it had changed Adivasi politics and defined the nature of the Adivasi movement in the long run. As Adivasi Mahasabha movement took a leap forward, some Adivasis also came forward to claim themselves as a true representative of the Adivasis of Chhotanagpur and challenged the leadership of the Mahasabha.

As India consolidates an aggressive model of economic development, indigenous tribal people known as adivasis continue to be overrepresented among the country’s poor. Adivasis make up more than eight hundred communities in India, with a total population of more than 100 million people who speak more than three hundred different languages. Although their historical presence is acknowledged by the state and they are lauded as a part of India’s ethnic identity today, their poverty has been compounded by the suppression of their cultural heritage and lifestyle. In Adivasi Art and Activism, Alice Tilche draws on anthropological fieldwork conducted in rural western India to chart changes in adivasi aesthetics, home life, attire, food, and ideas of religiosity that have emerged from negotiation with the homogenizing forces of Hinduization, development, and globalization in the twenty-first century. She documents curatorial projects located not only in museums and art institutions, but in the realms of the home, the body, and the landscape. Adivasi Art and Activism raises vital questions about preservation and curation of indigenous material and provides an astute critique of the aesthetics and politics of Hindu nationalism.

The seventh volume in the ambitious Rethinking India series, Being Adivasi: Existence, Entitlements, Exclusion looks at the process of development and how it clashes with the rights of the Adivasis. The volume serves not as an academic exercise but, in addressing the larger readership, as a prelude to the change that will bring to the Adivasis some measure of their rights as citizens of a democratic country. The essays in the volume address the persistent problems faced by the Adivasis and Denotified Tribes, from questions of their distinct identity to land alienation, indebtedness and displacement from ancestral lands. Persistent problems faced by the Adivasis-land alienation, indebtedness, vanishing minor forest products from government forests and displacement from their ancestral lands-led to their impoverishment. The Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act and the Forest Land Rights Act (FRA) enacted by the previous governments were decisive steps towards the empowerment of the Adivasis. However, at present, the implementation of these provisions has taken a back seat. This volume of the Rethinking India series presents the views of the Adivasis and the Denotified Communities on the process of development and its clash with their rights.

Adivasis have principally been studied in the context of rebellion, environmental history and the politics of identity. However, preoccupations with definitions and notions of identity, while important in themselves, tend to shift attention away from the inner lives of these communities. This book deals with different aspects of the histories of adivasi communities -- from Rajasthan in the west to Bengal and Orissa in the east. The essays in this book discuss a range of issues affecting the socio-economic and cultural life of adivasis and explore the long term continuities and discontinuities between different political regimes. They also reflect some of the new concerns that have come up relating to methodology and sources, historiography and colonial concerns, the impact of missionaries, gender issues, the agrarian situation, famines and migration. Some of the issues addressed in this volume are the genesis and development of 'tribal' studies in India during the colonial period; the peasantization of adivasi groups and their assimilation within the Hindu caste fold as reflected in Tulsidas' Ramcharitmanas; the work of the Protestant missions among the Santals of Chotanagpur; the social and ritual relations between the Bhils and the Rajput ruling dynasties of Dungarpur in southern Rajasthan; the aspect of agrarian change among the Hos of Singhbhum; the factors behind the migration from Chotanagpur, its nature and organization and its impact upon the adivasi village community; the question of women's agency in colonial Chotanagpur; and an exploration of land rights, witchcraft, employment patterns and how women challenged patriarchy in their everyday lives; and the impact of globalisation and liberalization upon adivasis in contemporary India. The book will be of use to students and scholars of history, anthropology and sociology and also to policy-planners.

This book contains scholarly articles by academicians and activists offering meaningful critiques on various aspects of writings by Adivasis, their way of life, and the reception/implications of these writings based on disciplines such as social psychology, cultural studies, political science, sociology, anthropology and cognitive linguistics. The contributors have put in sincere efforts to explain the critical or historical theory which their articles are couched in. While the first few articles offer critical analyses of writings by Adivasi and non-Adivasi writers, inadequate representation of writings by Adivasi writers and activists in university syllabi across Kerala, issues of publication, reception and the importance of translation, comparative analysis of novels by Adivasi and indigenous writers, ethics of reading Adivasi literature, case study of the writings of an independent researcher of Adivasi history, ecocritical analysis of the poems of a poet largely belonging to the oral tradition, the last two articles are empirical observations of activists, who are actively involved in the cultural sphere of the Adivasis in India and outside, on the need for inter-tribal councils and the importance of orality. The book aims to facilitate academicians, scholars, researchers and students by providing fresh and unexplored critical perspectives on subjects related to contemporary Adivasi writings and culture in India.
