Indian tribal rights

Indian tribal rights refer to the legal and cultural protections afforded to Indigenous tribes in India, recognizing their unique relationship with land, resources, and governance. These rights are rooted in the Constitution and various laws, such as the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, which seeks to protect tribal lands and ensure that tribal communities have a say in how their resources are used. The aim is to preserve their distinct identities, cultures, and livelihoods while also fostering development that respects their traditional ways of life.
