UNJUSTICE & TRIBALS

• The first outburst was witnessed at the dawn of

19th century
• The second wave of the tribal rebellion in
Wayanad was in the late 1960s.
• Tribes which benefited from land allocations
got into debt traps and had to become bonded
labourers.
• the Adiya and the Paniya tribals of Wayanad
were galvanised by the Naxalite movement to
rebel against the landlords.

• Tribals were treated on the same footing as

‘outside communities', when it came to the
issue of relocation and encroachment of forest
lands.
 Reasons of unjustice
Laws which causes tribals agitation:

• Forest Conservation Act 1980 separated forest

lands from the traditional inhabitants.
• The Wildlife Protection Act 1972
• The National Forest Policy 1988
