On the World Indigenous Day, Lamakaan hosts a talk on 'Tribal Land and Forest Rights' by Dr Palla Trinadha Rao, is practicing lawyer, tribal rights activist, involved in tribal rights advocacy since 1986 and writing on tribal issues.
Land is their most important natural, valuable asset and imperishable endowment from which the tribals derive their sustenance, social status, economic and social equality, permanent place of the abode and work and living.
The entire tribal life process was centered and built upon two major means of production, that is, the forest and the land, which are described as twin pillars of tribal economy. The relationship with these two, especially with the latter, is something like their “philosophy of life”.The non-tribals started penetrating the forest and hill areas to exploit economic resources, thereby undermining the traditional economy and society of the tribals.
