TRIBAL ISSUES IN INDIA 

TRIBES A tribe is a distinct people, dependent on their land for their livelihood, who are largely selfsufficient, and not integrated into the national society.  The tribes in India form an important part of the total population. It represents an element in Indian society which is integrated with the culture mosaic of our civilization.

Conclusion  India's population includes almost one hundred million tribal people. And there are many Acts in our legal structure which provide protection to these vulnerable groups. Although, there are still some major issues faced by these tribes but our government is trying to ensure their growth and development of tribal areas for their upliftment.
