It may be by gun or hunger. Whether terror is by gun or by hunger, it always aims to convey the common message of human misery and massacre. While gun kills hundreds of people with dramatic suddenness, endemic hunger quietly terminates many more lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book focuses on terror by hunger among the tribals who are its worst victims due to persistent poverty, exploitation, corruption and bad governance. Looking back to the tryst with tribal destiny since independence, they find themselves in the spiral of slow death due to betrayal of their trust in the administration of justice. The main factors responsible for their pitiable plight include unabated land alternation, exploitation by money lenders, dismal post colonial development process, illusive implementation of the Constitutional safeguards and denial of self rule in the scheduled areas. Despite legal and constitutional provisions for the protection and development of the members of the scheduled tribes as also their land in the scheduled areas, the tribal have lost more than 50% land and, now they are struggling for survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tribal are now disillusioned with the politics of hollow promises of the politicians and hold bad governance responsible for their impoverishment. They no longer want to be treated as fodder for democracy. They demand justice, self respect, protection of human rights, self rule in the scheduled areas, effective enforcement of the constitutional guarantees, participation in the development process and full quota in all government posts in proportion to their population. They have declared their agenda and demand result oriented affirmative action without any political gimmicks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoverty trap\u003cbr\u003ePseudo protection of tribal land\u003cbr\u003eState induced land alienation\u003cbr\u003eDegradation by deprivation\u003cbr\u003eTribals revolt against the colonial rule\u003cbr\u003eColonial conspiracy of protective isolation\u003cbr\u003eConstituent Assembly Debate on tribal situation\u003cbr\u003eFifth Schedu\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"R C Verma \/ Aravali Books International \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153679446384,"sku":"12265","price":42.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/12265.jpg?v=1793912431","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/terror-by-hunger","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
