The first was an encroachment on tribal land by immigrants. The second is the interface of community-based customary land management with the formal individual-based system through commercial crops leading to internal land alienation within the tribes and landlessness of many. The third is internal land alienation by a few leaders using the customary formal interface to their own benefit. These two types of interface together resulted in class formation and stronger patriarchy in the hitherto egalitarian tribes, a process that has further intensified under liberalisation.

Disillusioned with conventional research that was initially geared to colonial needs and later to the maintenance of the svstcm, some scholars tried a Third World Approach through research-methodologies. Slowly others began to think that only a generic Third World Approach was adequate from the perspective of the poor. Efforts began in the direction of action research and slowly they went on to participatory research.

One school of thought attributes child labour to the vested interests of employers. The government and other dominant sections attribute it to the poverty of the family, without looking at the structural causes. Most of the contributors to this book have opted for the second perspective and have looked only at the family and its poverty, suggesting solutions in this direction.

Most conflicts today are around identity, central to which is indigenous status and tribal sustenance. Much resource has been alienated for ‘national development’ since independence in 1947. A national failure to recognise the importance of community-based sustenance facilitates its alienation. Intensified alienation, resulting from globalisation, causes more conflicts and greater state suppression. This article discusses the link between development and indigenous status, and implications for human rights.
