Mayur Suresh ()

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: This book attempts to address how the tribes in India have perceived the State and its law. The tribes stand apart from the general population, and are made to stand outside the law, characterises the author’s conception of law and tribes through the book. The legality is described as being derived solely from the state, the law being the state’s emissary, and the tribes exist as distinct and readily recognisable entities, forced into submission by the law.
