Tribals are known to be the real sons of the soil or inhabitants of the country. The existing situation of tribals in India remains far more than worse in India though measures have been taken to curb the indifference faced by them and ease their plight, which is safeguarded by the constitution of India as well as a new act introduced by the parliament in 1996 namely Panchayat (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act,1996 (PESA Act) but the real question which remains is what is the actual situation which still exists even after the enactment of such laws and the lacunae which needs to be fixed for proper enforcement of the law and safeguard their rights.

Tribal, Fifth and Sixth Schedule Areas, PESA Act,1996, Indian Constitution.
