<br/><br/> "India has the largest tribal population in the world. Tribals number 8.6 per cent of its total population. They are also among the country's most marginalised."  (DOWN TO EARTH) The author attempts to address the following questions: "Why has India's political democracy not given its tribals their due? What is in India's political system that prevents the tribal voice from being heard? Or have tribal representatives in the high echelons of India's politicaldom failed their constituencies? What exactly is wrong?"
