The seed for the study was implanted in the 2018-19 action plan of the CoE when the Ministry of Tribal Affairs advised the CoE team to carried out the documentation of available literatures on tribal affairs and analyze the state of art. As the Head of CoE, I‘d like, first of all, to thank Shri. Deepak Khandekar, Secretary, Ministry of Tribal Affairs who extended generous support towards the compilation of this volume. The project could never have been implemented without the co-operation of Sh. Naval Jit Kapoor, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Tribal Affairs. I am thankful to the administrative team of IIPA for providing all the necessary technical support for the successful completion of this volume. Other units of the Institute including the library, computer centre, account section and administration headed by Registrar, Shri. Amitabh Ranjan provided critical inputs at various stages of the study. I‘m thankful to all of them. The very empirical nature of this research also means that few young researchers have helped in the review and analysis of available literature. I want to express my gratitude to all of them particularly to Ms. Revathy V Menon and Ms. Sunita Rani. None of them is however responsible for the remaining errors.

Selected Bibliography: Documents, Books and Articles 249 4 | NUPUR TIWARY INTRODUCTION This annoted bibliography covers a selection of recent literature on a wide range of issues concerning to Tribal Affairs. The purpose of this is to make a-hands-on list of recent relevant and useful national and international resources in the field of Tribal Affairs. The indispensable aim is to provide a handbook of annotated bibliography for administrators for promoting interest and enhancing the access to information about Tribal Affairs in general and in institutions. This bibliography is intended to help not only the administrators, but also a citizen, who is a layman, to find his way or to understand the vast and complex governmental apparatus. An annotation is a summary or evaluation; it is a list of citation of books, articles and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief description and evaluation paragraph. The purpose of this annotation is to make the reader informed about the relevance, authenticity and quality of sources cited. It can serve various benefits: a review of literature on any particular subject, illustrate the quality of research, provide examples of the types of sources available, describe other items on a topic that may be of interest of reader and explore the subject for further research. Writing an annotated bibliography is an excellent preparation for a research project. Collecting sources for a bibliography is useful, but when writing an annotation, each source has to be read more carefully and critically which is a slight more difficult job than just collecting information. Annotated bibliography requires a lot of intellectual skills i.e., short and snappy analysis, up to date library research and to the point exposition. First location and recording the citation of books, periodicals and documents, that may contain useful information and ideas, has to be done. This is followed by citation of books, articles or documents using the appropriate style and finally writing a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and the scope of the books or articles. It requires sentences that: Comment on the intended audience, Evaluate the authority and the background of the author, Compare or contrast the work with the author one has cited, and Explain how this work illuminates one’s bibliography topic. THE STATE OF ART OF TRIBAL STUDIES | 5 The annotation is written in paragraph form and its length depends upon the purpose and can vary significantly from a couple of sentences to a couple of pages. Writing an annotated bibliography can help one gain a good perspective about one’s topic, one will be able to see what are the issues, what the people are arguing about and then one will be able to develop one’s own views. Major Focus Areas: This annotated bibliography on “The State of Art of Tribal Studies” has been grouped in several thematic areas for the purpose of convenience. Following are the major themes: Adivasi/Tribal Narratives, Phenomena and Life World Studies; Adivasi and Indigenous people’s movements and developments; Adivasi, Tribe, state and governance; Adivasi / Tribal Epistemology and Philosophy; Science of Adivasi and Indigenous people; Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Research Methodologies; Adivasi Knowledge, Culture and Politics; Rurality, Rural Sociology and Indigenous People; Adivasis and Urbanization Studies; Law, State, Democratic Rights and Indigenous Peoples; Polity, Governance, Public Policy concerning Indigenous people; United Nations, International Mechanisms and Indigenous Peoples; Health Aspects; Educational Aspects; Income Aspects; Tribal Women Development/ Empowerment Related Studies; Integrated Tribal Development Programme (ITDP); Government Documents; NGOs And Development Related Theoretical Studies; Tribal Development Related Theoretical studies; Tribal Development studies; Tribal Media studies; Development/Empowerment and Welfare related studies; Displacement and Rehabilitation related studies; Education, Health and Infrastructure related studies; Agriculture, Land Alienation, agricultural markets and MFP Markets; Poverty Employment and labor related studies and so on. 6 | NUPUR TIWARY Theme One Adivasi / Tribal Narratives, Phenomena and Life World Studies 1.

  • Land Alienation and Livelihood Problems of Scheduled Tribes in Kerala
    Research on Humanities and Social Sciences www.iiste.org ISSN (Paper)2224-5766 ISSN (Online)2225-0484 (Online) Vol.4, No.10, 2014 Land Alienation and Livelihood Problems of Scheduled Tribes in Kerala Dr. Haseena V.A Assistant professor, Post Graduate Department of Economics, M.E.S Asmabi College P.Vemballur, Kodunagllur, Thrissur, Kerala Email: [email protected] Introduction The word 'tribe' is generally used for a socially cohesive unit, associated with a territory, the member of which regards them as politically autonomous. Often a tribe possesses a distinct dialect and distinct cultural traits. Tribe can be defined as a “collection of families bearing a common name, speaking a common dialect, occupying or professing to occupy a common territory and is not usually endogamous though originally it might have been so”. According to R.N. Mukherjee, a tribe is that human group, whose members have common interest, territory, language, social law and economic occupation. Scheduled Tribes in India are generally considered to be ‘Adivasis,’ meaning indigenous people or original inhabitants of the country. The tribes have been confined to low status and are often physically and socially isolated instead of being absorbed in the mainstream Hindu population. Psychologically, the Scheduled Tribes often experience passive indifference that may take the form of exclusion from educational opportunities, social participation, and access to their own land. All tribal communities are not alike. They are products of different historical and social conditions. They belong to different racial stocks and religious backgrounds and speak different dialects. Discrimination against women, occupational differentiation, and emphasis on status and hierarchical social ordering that characterize the predominant mainstream culture are generally absent among the tribal groups.

  • Tribal Healing Practices Theoretical Perspective on Folk Practices of the Tribals
    Tribal Healing Practices Introduction: Folk healing practices had its origin since time unknown. It is believed that human evolution had its origin in the tribal society. People in the traditional period were unable to explain the cause of natural calamity as well as the diseases that inflicted them. Therefore, men in the tribal societies started to create numerous ways and practices that were believed to heal the sufferers. The healers gained a superior position in the society and claimed to possess the power by which men could be healed from his suffering. Therefore, it is very important to study the tribal healing practices as it is from these practices that many contemporary healing practices are inspired to heal the people across the world. Theoretical Perspective on folk practices of the Tribals: Different theorists in the anthropological as well as sociological dimension did studies based on the tribal practices. These practices included the various life patterns, medical system, healing mechanisms, food habits, dressing patterns and so on. Theorists such as Edward Tylor introduced the concept of animism. According to the concept of animism, the non-material elements also contain spiritual essence. It is an indigenous tribal practice. In his 1871 book Primitive Culture, in which he defined it as "the general doctrine of souls and other spiritual beings in general." According to Tylor, animism often includes "an idea of pervading life and will in nature i.e., a belief that natural objects other than humans have souls. Animism focused on all approaches to healing which are connected with the soul. It promotes that we are answerable for each and everything.

These phyla encompass a minimum of 11, but probably 15 or even more mutually unintelligible languages, all showing considerable internal dialect variation. Previous literature provided largely incomplete or incorrect accounts of these phyla. Based on recent field research, this article discusses in detail the several languages of four phyla whose speakers are included in the Monpa Scheduled Tribe, providing the most accurate speaker data, geographical distribution, internal variation and degree of endangerment. The article also provides some insights into the historical background of the area and the impact this has had on the distribution of the ethnolinguistic groups. Keywords: Arunachal Pradesh, Tibeto-Burman, Trans-Himalayan, Monpa 1. INTRODUCTION Arunachal Pradesh is ethnically and linguistically the most diverse state of India.

  • Bru-Reang-Final Report 23:5
    Devising Pathways for Appropriate Repatriation of Children of Bru-Reang Community Ms. Stuti Kacker (IAS) Chairperson National Commission for Protection of Child Rights The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) emphasizes the principle of universality and inviolability of child rights and recognises the tone of urgency in all the child related policies of the country. It believes that it is only in building a larger atmosphere in favour of protection of children’s rights, that children who are targeted become visible and gain confidence to access their entitlements. Displaced from their native state of Mizoram, Bru community has been staying in the make-shift camps located in North Tripura district since 1997 and they have faced immense hardship over these past two decades. Hence, it becomes imperative for the National Commission of Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) to ensure that the legal and constitutional rights of children of this community are protected. For the same purpose, NCPCR collaborated with QCI to conduct a study to understand the living conditions in the camps of these children and devise a pathway for the repatriation and rehabilitation of Bru-Reang tribe to Mizoram. I would like to thank Quality Council of India for carrying out the study effectively and comprehensively. At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude to Hon’ble Governor of Mizoram Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Nirbhay Sharma, Mr. Mahesh Singla, IPS, Advisor (North-East), Ministry of Home Affairs, Ms. Saumya Gupta, IAS, Director of Education, Delhi Government (Ex. District Magistrate, North Tripura), State Government of Tripura and District Authorities of North Tripura for their support and valuable inputs during the process and making it a success.
