Tribal Society in India : An Anthropo-historical Perspective Hardback

Description

Tribes have been either romanticized as 'delightful primitives' or given up as 'lost' people on the periphery of Indian society.

The autonomy of tribes, the uniqueness of their social structure, and their response to change in complex situations have not been adequately highlighted.

This pioneering study brings together historical and anthropological perspectives on change in tribal society and its wider linkages.

Like other segments, tribal society has been part of the universe of Indian civilization and of its dominant social formations through history.

Similar historical processes have impinged on its autonomy, and its isolation has been relative and never absolute, atleast in middle India.

According to this study, the roots of change go back to state formation, transfer of technology and culture contact.

Peasants and tribes interacted over a wide spectrum.

As the dominant community in some regions tribes also set the model for emulation.
