Socio-economic profile of the natives. 3. Politics of indebtedness. 4. Interventions: politics of development. 5. Economic socio political conflict within the District the contemporary scenario. Bibliography. Appendices. Index. This book about the condition of indebtedness among the tribals, the indigenous communities of Purulia, will be useful for research scholars and policy makers. A combination of the author's observations while working as a teacher in an educational institution and months of subsequent field work in the district conducted during 2008, it delves into the reasons why politics (defined as ' the process of allocation of values') has not been successful in ameliorating indebtedness amongst the tribals.

Various government schemes including the land reforms have been found to be lopsided and to the disadvantage of the tribals. (jacket).…

The volume has developed out of an international seminar organised by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Institute of Asian Studies in collaboration with Indian Council of World Affairs, aiming to bring together the perspectives of academicians, UN officials, journalists and military personnel.
