Abstract

Before independence, tribal's right in forest was curtailed by the British colonial masters and after independence somehow the same nature of forest had been continued by the government of India. Then it was the environmental concerns which shifted the focus of the government to reservation of forests as well as the recognition of tribal's right in forests. And now with the adoption of liberalization of economy tribal's right in forests is in the most crucial situation.
