Hardcover. Zustand: New. India offers astounding variety in virtually every aspect of social life. Diversities of ethnic, linguistic, regional, economic, religious, class, and caste groups crosscut Indian society, which is also permeated with immense urban-rural differences and gender distinctions. Distinctions based on kinship, wealth and power among some tribal villages are as sharp as we find among the non-tribal villages. Tribals are not, theoretically, a part of Hindu social organisation, but they have always been in touch with wider society in India. They have been exploited economically and socially by the non-tribals living in tribal areas. A number of tribes have revolted against their exploitation. In India, 427 groups had been recognised as scheduled tribes in the year 1981.They formed approximately 8.08 per cent of the total Indian population. The tribes have segmentary, egalitarian system and are not mutually inter-dependent, as are castes in a system of organic solidarity. They have direct access to land and no intermediary is involved between them and land. Social structure is closely related with the size of the group. The present book is an account of Indian tribes, their ethnic backgrounds and social structure. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The Vedic Age is the "heroic age" of ancient Indian civilization. It is also the formative period when the basic foundations of Indian civilization were laid down. These include the emergence of early Hinduism as the foundational religion of India, and the social/religious phenomenon known as caste. This period of India's history lasted from around 1500 BCE through to 500 BCE; that is, from the early days of the Aryan migration into north-west India through to the age of the Buddha. The Vedas, the Mahabharata and the Upanishads formed the foundational writings of the Hindu religion, which was gradually taking shape in the Vedic Age. They show that the ancient Vedic religion was evolving into something different. This was probably to a large extent the result of influences from the older Dravidian populations over whom the Aryans ruled. During the course of centuries the Aryan nature deities lost much of their importance, and three new gods took their place: Vishnu, the preserver; Shiva, the destroyer; and Brahma, the creator. It was during this period of history that ancient India developed its distinctive caste system. This important book is an effort to search and overview the most important yet controversial period of Ancient Indian History.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Tribes are the poorest section of Indian population. They are socially, educationally and economically most deprived, exploited and suffering injustice since ages. Tribal development schemes are meant for the socio-economic development of the tribes. Though in the Indian Constitution, the rights ensuring social justice is elaborated in Articles 12 to 35 on the Fundamental Rights of the Indian citizens, social justice has not progressed an inch further in today's world. The tribals don't even know what the rule of law is or what social justice means. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs is the nodal Ministry for overall policy, planning and coordination of programmes for development of ST's. To this end, Ministry of Tribal Affairs has undertaken activities that follow from the subjects allocated under the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961. In this era of modernization, poverty elimination has become one of the most important goals of the government. Two decades of economic reforms and drum beating about inclusive growth seem to have failed to change the face of tribal and rural communities. This comprehensive book examines the state and processes of development programs for the Adivasis (tribal or indigenous people) in India and what repercussions these have for their constitutional rights.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. India has the World's largest tribal population. The traditional wisdom vested in these communities with the population of over 100 Million, is a record of human achievement in comprehending the complexities of life and survival in often unfriendly environments.  Ethno-botany and ethno-medicine are two areas where our tribal and indigenous communities made tremendous advances over the past few thousand years.  Almost every tribe developed its own treatments and cures for ailments of the body and mind, using products from their immediate environment.  The Nilgiris is home to 6 Primitive Tribal Groups (PTG) with each having a rich heritage of traditional health care practices and knowledge of medicinal plants and their uses. This gradually accumulated practical and systematic medicinal knowledge is rapidly disappearing and there is an urgent need to create awareness about its significance and relevance.   Studies have revealed that our current health care delivery system has failed to reach out to the tribal communities of our country and a glaring disparity in health parameters of such communities.  Ethno medicinal practices could hold the key to health for all. The present book is an attempt to bring together the clinical and biogenetic aspects, on one hand, and The Traditional Cultural Heritage in the Form of Traditions Medical Systems, on the other. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The Indian population originated from three separate waves of migration from Africa, Iran and Central Asia over a period of 50,000 years, scientists have found using genetic evidence from people alive in the subcontinent today. Considerable debate has accompanied efforts to define and characterize tribes. In the popular imagination, tribes reflect a primordial social structure from which all subsequent civilizations and states developed. Tribals, black aborigines similar to those found in New Guinea and Australia, are believed to be the original inhabitants of much of southern India. DNA evidence from the Negrito tribes of the Andaman Islands spans back 70,000 years and suggests they originated from people from Africa who migrated to India, Southeast Asia and Indonesia. DNA evidence also indicates that they are direct descendants of the first modern humans to leave Africa but lack a distinctive feature of Australian aborigines, another early group to leave Africa. This comprehensive book is an effort to search the origin of history of Indian tribes. Students, social workers and researchers will find this book valuable in their study and work.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The word 'tribe' takes its origination from the old French tribe, referring Roman Ancient States (Ramnes, Tities, Luceres). Historically Tribes have existed as social groups comprising of distinct people dependent on their regional land for their livelihood and their self-sufficiency makes them partially independent of being integrated into the national society. In India, the tribal people have known here as Adivasi a modern Sanskrit word that carries the specific meaning of being the original inhabitants of a given region. Geographically, the Tribes in India establish their presence throughout the country. Adivasi communities believed in collective living wherein the resources  jal, jungle, jameen  belonged to the community collectively.

This comprehensive book depicts the detail overview of Indian Tribals, their rights and triumphs and government policy.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Tantra is one of the most important systems of Indian philosophy and spiritual practice. But you are correct: it has never been accorded its rightful place. Tantra has no single coherent doctrine; instead, it developed a variety of teachings in connection with the religions adopting the Tantric method.
