ABSTRACT


The human right situation of tribals in India today is far from satisfactory. They are the victims of unscientific development plans that totally undermine them. In India, to pave way for corporates and introduce development projects, they are forced to give away their homes which leads to loss of self-identity and livelihood. Resources are mobilized by the governments for the so-called public purposes and tribals are forcefully taken out of their habitats with no assurance of rehabilitation and resettlement. The article tries to examine about the tribal lives and how their displacement has affected their rights and livelihood.
