520 _aThis essay attempts to understand how, in the contemporary history of environmental movements in India, discourses on indigeneity have impacted environmentalist representations, and more crucially, effected self-representation of the adivasis. In other words, I ask: do deeply ingrained ideas of indigeneity enjoy certain traction in the environmental discourse? When adivasis are involved as actors in struggles over land, forests and rivers, does a certain depiction prevail – a depiction that is conspicuously absent when non-adivasi or heterogeneous communities raise similar concerns? What does this mean for adivasi representation and self-representation within contemporary debates over ‘development’ and industrialisation?
