    'Tribals have paid a disproportionate price for the development of the rest of Indian society'. Highlight the sources of conflict between national development and 'tribal development'.

    Answer:

    Conflict between National, development and Tribal development:
    1. National development: in the Nehmvian era, focused on the building of large dams, factories and mines etc.
    2. But, because the tribal areas were rich in minerals. They paid a heavy price for the development activities, which bene fitted the rest of the nation.
    3. The displacement of tribes has been a result of setting up of dams and factories using the forested areas for various mining activities and other development work.
    4. The idea of private property in land, also, adversely affected the tribes. Tribes who mostly had collective community-based ownership were at a disadvantage in the new system. Example: series of dams being built over the N armada river.
    5. Many tribal regions have experienced heavy in-migration of non-tribals. This threatens to distrupt their cultures and communities. Example: Jharkhand and Tripura.
