This paper presents before the literary world a review kind of investigation in the short stories ‘The Adivasi Will Not Dance’ of Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar. There has always been lack of literary pursuits to explore the different layers of Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar’s stories. Social, economic, educational as well as moral issues of the tribals have been touched by very less number of writers. Tribal India is the 'other world' for sophisticated writers who focus more on intellectuals than dealing with the harsh reality of tribals. Nevertheless, a few Indian English writers have dealt with the theme of Tribal India in their writings. Arun Joshi's The Strange Case of Billy Biswas (1971); Kamala Markandaya's The Coffer Dams (1969); Manohar Malgonkar's The Princes (1963); Gita Mehta's A River Sutra (1993); and Ruskin Bond's short stories are a few examples of work that deals with different aspects of Tribal India. Mahasweta Devi, Kiran Desai, and few more writers have dealt with the life and struggle of the Tribals in their literary works. Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar is the latest color in the rainbow of tribal literary horizon.
