India's tribal Adivasi population are struggling for survival against the forces of economic growth. This devastating report examines the challenges they face, and the ways the tribes are rising to meet them.

Without caste or education, India's ancient tribes are at the mercy of mining companies, moneylenders, poverty and disease, suffering years of imprisonment and abuse at the hands of the Government. However, there are signs of hope; the Adivasi and Dalits are forming increasingly influential human rights groups. "A non-official school was opened here. We built up a group and saved money." Can they finally break out of years of oppression?

caste comes from the manusmriti which is smriti which means remembered knowledge. Smriti means written by men which also means can be changed and even discarded because it is not shruti which is revealed knowledge that comes from god. Indian society is very able to discard caste practices if it decides to do it.

A late section of the Shanti Parva of the Mahabharata suggests an origin of this practice: "He who becomes harsh in speech, or violent in temper, he who seduces or abducts other people's women or robs the wealth that belongs to others, should be cast off by us".

UN have asserted that the caste is a form of racial discrimination. UNICEF estimates that some form of discrimination based on caste affects 250 million people in India.

All others who did not belong to this Hindu society, including foreigners, tribals and nomads were called Mlechhas and even those who had been excommunicated to being "Anaryas" (non-Aryans), were to be treated as contagious and untouchable barbarians. Its members feared banishment from society as a powerful disincentive against violating social norms.
