Abstract

This paper examines the plight of tribal communities, who possess unique customs, cultures, and lifestyles distinct from non-tribal populations. Despite numerous laws and constitutional provisions intended to uplift these communities, they continue to suffer from marginalization, deprivation, and oppression. The relentless pursuit of progress, modernization, globalization, and industrialization often disregards the profound impact on the lives of these marginalized individuals who are the original inhabitants of their countries. Although there exist a plethora of constitutional provisions and laws aimed at safeguarding the welfare, interests, and rights of tribal communities, they largely remain confined to paper and are limited to competitive examination answers. In practice, the majority of tribals are unaware of their rights, some even oblivious to the existence of laws specifically designed for their protection. This research paper explores both international and national measures implemented to protect tribal rights. Its primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of these laws in securing the rights of tribal communities and, if ineffective, to identify the underlying reasons and causes. Furthermore, the paper presents findings, suggestions, and recommendations to facilitate the proper implementation of these laws, ensuring the protection of tribal rights and the preservation of their unique cultures and traditions in their authentic form.
