Dear Rahul
What has really taken a toll in modern society is the marriage between
modern centralized systems or ideologies (be it capitalist, communist,
theocracy) and the scientific industrial systems.

So while modern idealogies took away power (democracy, independence,
etc) from local systems such as villages and concentrated at the
centre. This is bad enough but scientific achievements allowed for
maximum opportunity for greed.

This is what has led to the exploitation of the disadvantaged sections
of society, The adivasis are one of the worst affected.

Naxalites may wriggle out of naxalite systems, but even their system
is also centrally based.. it takes out the power from the villages,
etc which in the past had functioned with least interference. So
naxalism is also not the solution.

And even if the tribals were to given freedom to run their regions,
you will still find centralization and fight for power and authority
and then again clamour for freedom by smaller tribes who find their
language, culture, job opportunities being taken over by the larger,
stronger groups.

Your problem may be too ideologically oriented or reductionist (eg
blaming patriarchy)

Prior to modern influences (political ideologies and
industrialization), the adivasis led a peaceful life. So that should
be the goal. Should it not? Ideologies bickerings will not get us
anywhere near that cherisehd goal.

Peaceful history of Bastar versus current situation
http://www.mail-archive.com/jharkhand@yahoogroups.co.in/msg03183.html

"win found the tribals of Bastar "gentle, friendly, with no desire
for property or power". They were, he wrote to his mother in London,
in striking contrast to the warring Europeans. The life led by the
Bastar adivasis was "a great lesson to the world at this time. So long
as men cling to the desire of empire and wealth such catastrophes as
the present one [i.e., World War Two] are certain to occur".
