Adivasi Land Rights

Adivasi land rights refer to the legal and socio-political entitlements of Indigenous communities in India to their traditional lands and resources. Adivasis, often referred to as tribal people, have a deep connection to their ancestral land, which is crucial for their culture and livelihoods. Historically, their rights have been overlooked, leading to displacement and exploitation. Legal frameworks like the Forest Rights Act aim to recognize and protect these rights, ensuring that Adivasis can access, manage, and benefit from their land. Upholding these rights is vital for preserving cultural heritage and promoting social justice.
