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.

very well said nirmalaji,The opposition party seems to take advantage of these tragic incidents.The policies should be made such to take care of thier rehabilitation and livelihood.Legally the govenment need not give the money to the tribes , but keeping in mind the welfare and prosperity of the tribes,they should be paid atleast some share of the money ,as they are getting a 10fold profit from tata's.
