Exhaustive analysis on Tribals' issue, I believe already exist. I suggest you go to the archives of Economic and Political Weekly (EPW- www.epw.org.in), and search for stuff on the issues of tribals and that of institutions in these areas. <BR/><BR/>Ganes, <BR/><BR/>I think that NGOisation is strong where grassroots political movements haven't been good enough. Personally, I feel that Political mobilization and articulation is the best means of achieving progress, because come what may NGOs have a) sometimes a vested interest in themselves, b) they only try to improve upon the status quo and do not bring any worthwhile earth shattering change in essence. Its my understanding therefore that without political articulation be it in the form of movements or even institutional processes such as electoral mobilization, there cannot occur any proper change in the lives of the afflicted tribals. Its easier said than done.. Why would take a long time and a longer analysis to explain and elucidate. I am keeping that exercise for the sake of posterity later.Srinivasan Ramanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13620263203764236450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381909.post-1144183369093179592006-04-05T02:12:00.000+05:302006-04-05T02:12:00.000+05:30Nice post.. and should have been an interesting tr...Nice post.. and should have been an interesting trip.. very true, such groups exist in most parts of India..<BR/><BR/>I wonder how any change can be brought about in their lives.. government intervention -or- NGO action -or- ?? Wish someone comes up with a model that can solve most if not all of the issues..Kesarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788431854233381896noreply@blogger.com
