percent of the nation’s total population (about 835.80 lakh), according to the 2001 census, is what constitutes the tribal population of India. This population lives in concentrations in various parts of the country, some of them being Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Rajasthan and Maharashtra and it is this very population that has been facing discrimination since long.
Tribal people have always been there in our country yet most of the people here are unaware of their existence or are simply ignorant towards their existence and their customs. The surprising thing is that Indian tribals are not backward — as many of us might assume; instead their beliefs and thinking resembles the city people. There is no system of dowry, no caste division, even divorce and widow remarriage are socially accepted among them. They are an exemplary society when it comes to social practices yet they live a life of poverty and discrimination.
Even before the British took over our country, the tribal population were looked upon as wild, barbaric and unruly. Then they were treated as untouchables and this practice still exists in many parts of our country. Independence in 1947 did not bring about any difference in their lives. Instead, because of absence of any monetary funds, these people had to leave their native places in search for work which led to the loss of their rich heritage. Many of these places today are converted into holiday destinations and resorts by contractors who are driving out the tribals and taking away their resources. Those people that have escaped such fates and still continue to make artifacts, like masks, paintings, wood cutting, get meager prices for their products even though the artifacts are generally sold for large sums of money as most of it is pocketed by the middle-men. The state of the tribal people in the city is even worse; they live as daily-wage earners and endure hardships all their lives. This neglect on the part of the nation for a fraction of its population is the reason of uprisings such as Naxalism.
