Question

why are adivasis marginalised today?

Answer 1

Adivasis are becoming increasingly marginalized because  they follow a different culture, language and traditions from mainstream Indian society which leads us to wrongfully classify them as exotic, primitive and backward

Answer 2

For Adivais, land is not merely a source of livelihood, it is also an integral part of their culture,identity and existence. Their removal for forests is responsible for marginalization. Once they get shifted to towns and cities they land up with small jobs. Unable to match all due cultural difference, they automatically get categorized as the marginalized.
