Tribal India, book on Anthropology, is an important landmark of Palaka Prakashan in the services of the social sciences. Tribal India provides, in a synthesised and comprehensive form, different facets of life, society and culture of the 'exotic', colourful, virile and exploited tribals of India trying to come to terms with the hard realities of transition from the hoary past to the bewildering present.

Starting from the concept and definition of 'tribe' in the Indian perspective, it journeys through their origin, different facets of society and culture, their problems, welfare and development. Besides, such issues as tribal regionalism and debt bondage, ethnographic profiles of some select tribes have added to it's utility. The annexure part of the book provides a variety of statistical and qualitative data.

The expanse and coverage of the book have made it a sort of an encyclopaedic title on tribal india.

Tribal India fulfills the needs of a wide range of readership which includes planners and administrators, students of anthropology, sociology, economics and human geography. The book is extremely popular among the university students and aspirants of civil services.

Dr. Nadeem Hasnain, the author of this book, enjoys a high degree of popularity equally among the university students as well as the civil services aspirants. A well known anthropologist, he heads the department of anthropology of an associate college of Lucknow University.
