Abstract

This chapter is an attempt to study tribal development in India where the tribals are not only marginalised but also dispossessed in the process of economic reforms. A massive transformation is taking place in the tribal societies in India where a crisis-ridden need-based society is being transformed into a desires-based consumer society. The process is accelerated by the neoliberal public policies in India that promotes the idea of ‘desired development’. In a way, this chapter is trying to document the nature of change in the tribal society which has travelled from ‘need’-based development to ‘desired’ development in the planning for tribal development. In this process of transition, the chapter is trying to locate the Freudian idea in tribal development planning in India that is putting tribals under durable poverty, underdevelopment and marginalisation. Hence, this chapter seeks to contextualise the transformation in the ‘logic’ of public and corporate socio-economic development programmes implemented amongst tribal groups in India within the broader changes that have characterised the gradual and sometimes fraught transitions in capitalist social relations.
