Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The tribal communities of Orissa face a massive new threat from legislation for conservation and forestry and their judicial interpretations, as well as from the increasing onslaughts of globalisation. The indigenous forest dweller community (mostly the tribal people) as a whole do not get recognition as owners of land that they cultivate from generations, even though they do not possess any records, in fact they do not need to as the entire land is community owned.
