If we calculate all the risks, 90 million Adivasis are struggling for their survival, losing access to forests and suffering the gravest threat of being alienated from their forest lands and traditional habitations.

This book is an attempt to understand the relationship between Adivasis and the forest, unfolding the ground realities of the Forest Rights Act. It exposes the dual role of the State and the various threats to Adivasis and other forest dwellers. It also attempts to gauge the climate crisis and its threat to the existence of agro-forest-based communities. Finally, it raises a fundamental question about who the real custodian and protector of the forests is, which the book answers is none other than the Adivasis.
