Question

Answer the impact of industrialization on the tribal societies in India. Discuu in 250 words

Answer 1

The developmental policies drastically altered the relationship of tribes with the natural environment and resources lying therein. Earlier these resources were either individually or collectively owned. But due to policies of state, as aforementioned, there has been a steady erosion of control and use of these resources by Tribals. Tribals were most drastically affected by the exploitation of land and forest. But major source of land alienation, post independence, has been the process of development that the Indian state has followed. Large scale industrialization and exploitation of mineral resources and construction of irrigation dams and power projects that the tribal areas have seen during the period have been responsible for uprooting Tribals on a far larger scale than the transfer of land from tribunals to non Tribals on an individual basis.
