520			_aFor generations the tribal communities have been the custodians of the country's over-ground and under-ground wealth in the form of minerals, ores, forests, water and such other natural resources. Yet they have been and are being driven out of their ancestral homes and hearths for the sake of felling forests and mining minerals and ores. Their forced displacement has cut deep gashes in the tribal psyche. The recent years have seen a big spurt in mining-industrial activity in the country which is required, for economic development. But in the process tribals' rights are violated with impunity by authorities that put the interests of the corporate sector above their survival. In spite of a number of constitutional provisions, protective laws, and existence of constitutional and statutory institutions the tribal are faced with soul-searing atrocities, deprivations and displancement. There have even been overt and covert attempts to subvert the afore-said instruments, enactments and institutions hurting the tribal communities. As a way out it is desirable not to upset the applecart too hard, but to discover solutions within the subsisting structures to surmount the challenge. - Reproduced.
