Jharkhand and Odisha forests harbour the majority of tribal communities. Jharkhand, itself means “the land of forests” and its land area is about 49,821 square miles, and much of it is covered in trees! So is the case of Odisha. Land rights, displacement, right of forest produce collection, exploitation and identity crisis have been the main problems tribal people are encountering with.Based on the findings of empirical research study by the author, this book mainly discusses the following issues: Identity and Ethnicity in Jharkhand and Odisha; Development induced Displacement in Odisha and Jharkhand; Implementation of Forest Right Act, 2006 in Jharkhand and Odisha; Study on Land Rights in Odisha and Jharkhand; Significance of Non-Timber Forest Produce in the Livelihood of Adivasis in Jharkhand and Odisha; Labour Migration from Odisha and Jharkhand etc.Definitely, this will delight and enlighten researchers, administrators, policy-planners and all those concerned with tribal and forest issues—social and human rights activists.
