The
present study addresses itself to the issues and concerns
involved in tribal development. Implicit in this exercise
is the critique of the development policy pursued
in the past as well as the search for an alternative
strategy. Development in itself is a highly complex
phenomenon, and the complexity gets further compounded
as one moves onto the tribal context. The two-pronged
colonial policy for the ‘uplift’ of the
tribals—‘detribalization’ and ‘leaving
them alone’—proved to be as ineffectual
as did the uniform blueprint or approach. Lately,
it is being contended that even the sub-plan strategy,
which was considered to be a positive and very useful
device has not had the desired impact.
Hence, in a country like India having a number of
tribal pockets in different states with variegated
geophysical conditions and resource base, the strategies
of tribal development have, of necessity, to be area-specific
and in tune with the peculiar socio-cultural ethos
to be effective and meaningful.
Against this backdrop, the present multi-disciplinary
study focuses on issues and problems relating to development
paradigm, tribal development administration, economic
disparities, the changing scenario of agriculture
and forestry in tribal areas, certain aspects of environment,
demography, nature and instruments of change or social
transformation, including education and cooperatives,
tribal customs, traditions, religion and folk music,
as also on certain myths and realities about the tribes
and tribal areas of Himachal Pradesh.
The book has thirty-six papers divided into nine sections,
besides an introduction. These papers have been contributed
by scholars belonging to different cognate disciplines
like anthropology, history, economics, botany, geography,
political science, law, education, commerce, literature,
music, Buddhist studies, etc.
