In this episode of the Perspective Prog. Based on ‘Protecting the Tribes’. The last known member of an indigenous tribe in the Amazon rainforest has died after living alone for decades. The unidentified man from an uncontacted Indigenous tribe in Brazil was known as the ‘man of the hole’ because he was often spotted taking shelter in pits dug in the ground. His death has now resulted in a lot of discussion among activists, once again bringing to spotlight the need to protect the indigenous people. In India, most of the tribes are collectively identified under Article 342 as “Scheduled Tribes”. There are 110 million tribals in the country, distributed across 18 states. The tribal population is known to live sustainable lives, in harmony with nature. However, with their numbers dwindling due to various contributing factors, the concern is on how not just to protect their population, but also to preserve their heritage, culture, language, art, traditions and sensibilities. What’s being done towards the protection and economic upliftment of the tribals in India? How are their concerns & challenges being addressed?
