“It would be no exaggeration to say that the process of economic development in India has so far grievously neglected the well-being of the tribal communities. This wonderful and timely anthology presents a detailed picture of the developmental and cultural concerns, and in particular the issues of education and health that confront these communities today.”Pulin B. Nayak, Former Professor and Head, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, India“The range of themes on tribal issues and problems that have been chosen in the book are very well-delineated. This anthology will certainly be a welcome addition to the existing literature on the subject.”R. Siva Prasad, Honorary Professor, e-Learning Centre, and Former Professor of Anthropology, School of Social Sciences, University of Hyderabad, India
