Abstract: The objective of this research paper is to approach the debates on indigenous/tribal identity in international law deploying the framework of subaltern studies in South Asia with a view to, first, critically reexamine the approaches within the existing international law scholarship in representing the issues of the ‘indigenous’, and second, to apply the ‘subaltern approach’ evolved in the South Asian historiography to reconceptualise the relationship between law/international law and indigenous and tribal people.
