Tribal Development in Jharkhand: A Multidimensional Critical Perspective

Keywords Tribe; development; subaltern
ABSTRACT Here an attempt is made to look at the very concept of development in the context of a tribal milieu. Our contention is that in the name of development, tribal community in particular and Indian society in general should not adopt the model of western modernisation uncritically. Rather it has to be planned and implemented locally with active participation of the subaltern tribal community that cannot be reduced to their so-called ‘representatives’. Further, one needs to distinguish real social development from superficial development.
