ABSTRACT: India is the home of different kinds of indigenous people. Scheduled Tribes are the most marginalized and underdeveloped communities scattered across India. Many tribes were displaced as companies encroached on their lands, and some of them continued fighting to either protect their homes or demand just compensation. The government was denying these people the most fundamental sources of livelihood by removing forest lands for industry and plantation forestry rather than protecting the native species that support their way of life. The lives and livelihoods of tribal communities in Kerala largely depend upon the forest and natural resources. The governmental policies and programs adversely affected tribal communities in Kerala. They are the victims of large-scale development projects, including the construction of dams and longstanding politics, land laws, etc. Kerala is well known for its socio-economic development and land reform policies. However, these reforms least benefited the tribes in Kerala because they historically lived in the forest. Another important factor for the deprivation of tribes faced and continues to face is land alienation. Small land holdings, lack of resources and infrastructure for agriculture, conflicts with wild animals, particularly elephants, and drought in rain-fed agricultural areas due to inadequate rainfall put tribes' livelihoods at risk. Tribal people's malnutrition has a direct relationship with food and an indirect relationship with non-food factors. Some of the tribal hamlets in Kerala, especially Attapady in the Palakkadu district of Kerala, have the lowest rate of life expectancy and living conditions. Tribes in India are ignored by the governments, political parties, and media. They have to struggle for their existence. This paper attempts to discuss the problem of marginalization of Tribes in India with special reference to the state of Kerala.
