The legislation to deal with these communities began in India with the enactment of the Act XXVII during the year 1871. The Police Commission of 1902-3 criticized the working of the Act and a fresh Act III of 1911 was enacted. As there had been many amendments to the original Criminal Tribes Act that a fresh Act of 1924 was passed consolidating the provisions of various earlier Acts. The Act of 1924 was amended by Act I of 1947. In the light of the actual experiences gained, the government finally repealed the Criminal Tribes Act in 1952 and many of the criminal tribes were let free from the provisions of the criminal tribes' acts of 1871, 1911, 1924 and 1947. But the shadow of the Criminal Tribes Acts is still haunting several communities in Independent India.The present work is an effort to study the need for regulation and control of the criminal tribes and passing of certain regulatory acts called the Criminal Tribes Acts between 1871 and 1965. In addition, the life patterns of certain historically branded tribes under the Criminal Tribes Acts are also discussed. The study looks into the major changes or the deviations that took place under the Criminal Tribes Acts and the reasons that motivated the British to pass the Criminal Tribes Acts. The appendices contain a wealth of information.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746245386513,"sku":"NGR9789390729999","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9390729998.jpg?v=1763221319"},{"product_id":"denotified-tribes-of-india-discrimination-book-malli-gandhi-9789388540650","title":"Denotified Tribes of India: Discrimination","description":"Public welfare measures pay scant attention to the issue of reform and rehabilitation of these sections and, they are made to suffer from an identity crisis today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51608472584465,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51608473043217,"sku":"NGR9789388540650","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0DLWK2MGN.jpg?v=1751352316"},{"product_id":"denotified-tribes-of-india-book-malli-gandhi-9780367861827","title":"Denotified Tribes of India","description":"Social stigmatization is a virtual curse imposed on certain Indian social sections by the colonial government as part of their contextual political strategies by late nineteenth century. The so-called denotified tribes (formerly known as ex-criminal tribes) in Indian society occupy this state-made category. According to the latest survey reports, India has 198 groups belonging to nomadic and denotified tribes: unorganized, scattered and utter nobodies. Social justice is alien to them and economic disempowerment eventually resulted in slavery, bonded labour and poverty. Public welfare measures pay scant attention to the issue of reform and rehabilitation of these sections and, they are made to suffer from an identity crisis today. Most of these communities are split under reserved categories: Scheduled Castes and Other Backward Classes. The work tries to present a narrative detailing the conditions of denotified tribes during colonial and post-colonial India. And the undeclared wish in doing so is to seek the attention of those in policy-making and decision-making bodies under the Indian government.

While tribes could be integrated into a single unit-distinct from the mainstream society, they are highly diverse among them­selves. Administering the tribes in the country has never been an easy task despite having specific policy-formulations, separate administrative machinery, budgetary allocations, and fixed targets over a period of seven decades. Over the years, there have been a number of high-powered committees that have studied tribal issues, on the basis of which several Acts have been passed and modifications made in the existing Acts.   Our Constitution recognises 645 tribes as Scheduled Tribes of India. South India represents several tribal communities such as Andh, Bagata, Bhil, Gadaba, Gond, Kolam, Dulia, Helava, Kurvikaran, Pardhan, Porja, Rona, Savara, Sugali, Valmiki, Yanadi, Yerukula, Koracha, etc. Among these, some tribes are identified as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs).  This study is a modest attempt to deal with some of the forgotten Adivasis of South Indian states, their heritage, socio-cultural milieu, economic status, present conditions and their overall development. These tribes have a rich cultural heritage, and indigenous knowledge at their command. However, tribal cultural heritage is fast disappearing. Against this backdrop, there is a need to document their heritage for the benefit of posterity.  There are four parts in the present work. Part-I deals with the Tribes of Andhra and Telangana: Nomadic, Semi-nomadic and De-notified Com­munities; Part-II discusses the Profile of Selected Tribes; Part-III covers the Tribes of South India: Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala; Part-IV discusses Development and Change in the Nomadic, Semi-Nomadic and Denotified Communities.  In the reconstruction of the narrative, the study uses varied kinds of sources, old, new, contemporary, oral traditions, etc., and also field survey data and extensive personal interactions with members of respective tribes in the selected places. It is expected that the study will result in furthering the commitment of those concerned with tribal welfare activities in the country, especially in South India.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53395640090897,"sku":"NGR9789360803506","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-malli-gandhi.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
