| What happened to the tribals in the Jharkhand area after industrialization? |
Because of heavy migration, they lost control over the resource and there was a serious decline in the proportion of the tribal population in the region. Tribal communities in Jharkhand got prosperous by selling their land to industries. Tribal communities were central in the process of industrialization. They became industrial labourers and achieved social and financial mobility. Tribals from Jharkand migrated to other cities to find more industrialized jobs. |
| Because of heavy migration, they lost control over the resource and there was a serious decline in the proportion of the tribal population in the region. |
| Many tribal concentration regions and states have also been experiencing the problem of heavy in-migration of non-tribals in response to the pressures of development. This threatens to disrupt and overwhelm tribal communities and cultures, besides accelerating the process of exploitation of tribals. The industrial areas of Jharkhand for example have suffered a dilution of the tribal share of the population. But the most dramatic cases are probably in the North-East. A state like Tripura had the tribal share of its population halved within a single decade, reducing them to a minority. Arunachal Pradesh is feeling similar pressure |
