Tribal people have been facing a wide variety of problems in the modern times, mainly caused by the confrontation with civilization. This book deals at a certain depth with the situation of the tribals of Central India, Northeast and Andaman & Nicobar islands. It then provides a wider backdrop to the discussion on tribals by talking about a number of prominent Indian anthropologists and their contribution to the understanding of Indian society.
