Abstract:
The political approach to tribal development and welfare has been influenced by three different tribal policies: Segregation, Assimilation, and Integration. The isolation policy initiated by British rulers was intended to protect the tribals from the exploitation of moneylenders, contractors, zamindars, and middlemen. The assimilation policy advocated by some nationalists strongly argued for the total assimilation of all tribes into the mainstream of the National Population. Social reformers, politicians, anthropologists, and government officials who were sensitive to tribal culture approved the gradual integration of all the tribes into regional and national settings. Policy aims to protect tribal customs, values, norms, and mores, as well as their distinct way of life.
