India can boast of its varied Tribal cultures, which even make the westerners curious. Pure Indian traditions are often revealed through them. From ancient times many cultures of Europe, Middle East or others flew past the main land of India. But, these couldnt touch some pockets, where tribal would reside & their culture remained unadulterated. From this platform Tribal cant just jump to the technical advancement and so, industries like steel plants & heavy engineering will not cater to their requirement. Rather Agro-industries or tribal-crafts with application of latest technology would help them to get livelihood & also a touch of modernity. Its a pity that our market is flooded with fruit juice and packaged foods from countries like Thailand, Malaysia that are very near & similar to our states like Mizoram & all. Indias challenge lies in converting its huge tribal population to a resource. But politicians will never realize it.
