Question

Answer the impact of industrialization on the tribal societies in India.

Answer 1

Tribals are the communities which depend on forests for their livelihood and for fulfilling their daily needs.But after the advent of industrialisation the forests were under the threat of being cut down this lead to the loss of livelihood of tribals .Government took control over most of the forests and tribals were alienated from forests and as a result they struggle to survive and for their survival they moved to cities in search of labour and to work in industries .The government through land reforms tried to improve the situation in order to give control of forests back to tribals but faulty implementation of policies led to failure of these policies .This lead to frustation among the tribals and they mobilized against the tribals and gave rise to new front known as naxalism .Naxilism and government are fighting to find common ground in modern times .
The government is still trying to improve the condition of tribals by promoting education and giving them reservation and introducing land forms to give the control of land back to them .
So in order to have uniform growth and development it is necessary that tribals are lifted in political and economic status .

Answer 2

We know that Tribes are the people of India who live in forests and are totally dependent on forest for their livelihood. One of the major problems which Indian tribes faces is the Industrialisation of backward area and consequent urbanisation. Govt. policy of industrialising remote area ha led to emergence of hi-tech industries in tribal belts.Development in terms of economic prosperity might mean doom to the tribal identity. The first challenge that they face is in shape of loss of tribal identity through establishment of industries. They have to leave their place and get shifted but they are ill ease in new environment. Its mainly because they have different customs and tradition. Besides they also feel humiliated in the new environment, even the new social contact with the urban population will feel alien to them.
Besides there can be certain merits too like they mainly lived like nomads in forest and will feel settled down, the children will have opportunity of better education and will be introduced to a sanitized environment which will be beneficial for their health.
