Department of Tribal Legal Studies and Tribal Rights

Introduction: Tribals, as marginal people, have been subjected to various processes and

practices of rules, regulations and laws since times immemorial. In the colonial era, the process got accelerated in the name of technical planning and scientific progress. Furthermore, on the eve of modernization and globalization in post-independent India, the split-over effects of industrialization and free-market economy were brought into the tribal hinterlands trying partly to transform the peaceful countryside into industrial hubs and partly build up supermarkets in tribal pockets. Unfortunately, however, the discontentment over the discourses and practices of development rapidly increased unwrapping the unholy trinities of the agents and agencies of development.

Not only their resources are usurped but also their very identity is in question and hence existence is in jeopardy. This alarming situation of tribal development gives us an opportunity to establish innovative Department of Tribal Legal Studies and Tribal Rights to explore how, instead of whether, tribal people are related to law and their rights. Furthermore, it will be challenging to explore possibilities to make their right as well as the law related to tribal people in modern era. Objectives:

The course on Tribal Legal Studies and Tribal Rights will offer solutions for problems linked to legal issues of Tribal people. However, it provides training that enables students to understand and explore the theoretical and practical dimensions of legal issues and human rights, particularly tribal legal mechanism and their rights. The broader objectives of the discipline will be:

To develop a clear understanding of tribal world-views, their customary laws, conflict resolution mechanisms and social justice system.

To provide an insight into various international and UNO agenda and human rights protection available to the indigenous people.

To explore patterns and processes of legal knowledge base of the tribal societies vis-à-vis the modern legal system.

To understand the main concepts, theories and debates on legal studies and human rights in their historical and contemporary context with special reference to tribes of India.

To develop an understanding of the discourse of legal policies, politics and practices of law and their consequences to tribal communities and societies.

To make the tribal students and tribal communities aware about their rights and duties.
