Mapping the politics of Adivasiyat in Jharkhand - Economic and Political Weekly - 59(13). Mar 30, 2024: p.57-66
The contemporary articulation of Adivasiyat advances the claims of Adivasis on multiple levels based on the discourse of indigeneity. The politics of Adivasiyat, however, immersed in the regional specificity broadens the framework of making political claims. This framework envisages the idea of self-governance, not simply as the incorporation of locals in the administration but the simultaneous inclusion of community logic and institutions in the process of governance. Additionally, on the ideological ground, it postulates an emancipatory project from the burden of the colonial construct of “tribe” or the notion of “backward Hindus.” The paper, therefore, strives to make sense of how the politics of Adivasiyat and self-governance are entangled in Jharkhand, tracing the collective history of Adivasis genealogically.- Reproduced
