The economic and social backwardness, low levels of literacy, and poor health conditions makes it vital for a systematic process of inclusive tribal development. Though the tribal women work very hard and contribute significantly towards the economic condition of the family, they are still in poverty, mostly because no proper efforts are oriented towards them. The role of customary practices has a significant impact on the position of various rights of tribal women in their society. Inequality and injustice are the root causes of violation of the human rights of tribal women in contemporary society. At the same time, cultural factors also play a vital role in the mainstreaming of tribal women. Education is a vital instrument for bringing about change in the cultural norms and patterns of life of the tribal women, to change their outlook and make them economically independent. The government is providing a lot of support and grant for the education of Tribal students. This will help to increase the literacy rate and it will lead to the right way to development. The health status of the tribal is explored to assess their awareness regarding their health. Sometimes, they lack essential nutrients. Many a times, they suffer from various diseases as there is a lack of health and hygiene awareness. Thus, increasing the literacy rate and providing opportunities for gainful employment for tribal women will be instrumental in bringing about a change in the status of tribal women in India and handling challenges successfully. This book is a collection of literary work, authored by aspiring lawyers and social scientists highlighting the plight of tribal women in contemporary Indian society. The book is divided into nineteen chapters classified under four sub-themes: Education, Health, and Malnutrition in Tribal India; Gender Injustice and Human Rights of Tribal Women; Customary Laws and Tribal Women, Multiculturalism and Tribal Women. Besides scholars and students interested in the studies of gender issues in tribal India, the book will also be very useful for policy makers, planners, and social activists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBir Pal Singh\u003c\/strong\u003e (b.1970) is presently working as Professor in Panchayat Administration and Nyaya Panchayat, and Chairperson, Centre for Tribal Studies and Research at the National Law Institute University, Bhopal (M.P.), India.
