Tribal movements in India often center around issues of:

Forest rights and land alienation
Displacement due to development projects
Preservation of cultural identity
All of the above

The correct answer is: d) All of the above.

Tribal movements in India often center around issues of forest rights and land alienation, displacement due to development projects, and preservation of cultural identity.

  • Forest rights and land alienation: Tribal peoples have traditionally had a close relationship with the forests, which they rely on for their livelihoods. However, in recent years, there has been a growing trend of forestland being taken over by the government or private companies for development projects. This has led to the displacement of tribal peoples from their traditional lands and a loss of their livelihoods.
  • Displacement due to development projects: As mentioned above, tribal peoples are often displaced from their traditional lands due to development projects such as dams, mines, and highways. This displacement can have a devastating impact on tribal communities, as it disrupts their traditional way of life and often leads to poverty and social problems.
  • Preservation of cultural identity: Tribal peoples have a rich and unique culture that is often threatened by the forces of modernization. Tribal movements often seek to preserve their culture and traditions, which they see as essential to their identity.

In addition to these three main issues, tribal movements also often focus on other issues such as education, health, and women’s rights.
