Whither tribal self-governance? Developing the tribals of non-tribal areas

Abstract

How to achieve the development of the tribal population in the non-tribal or the erstwhile tribal areas? This article, while addressing the issue of self-governance and development of the tribal population in the non-tribal areas, shows the necessity of de-linking both development and self-governance from territory and identifies some other dimensions of development of the tribal population such as history, everyday life, voluntary action and emancipation.
