Human rights are the birthright of every human being and they form an integral part of the socio-cultural fabric of humanity all over the world. However, they are vulnerable to abuse and violation.

At the same time, human rights are cultural concepts that are slowly evolving in response to social change or contestation (Nair Ravi, 2006).

Tribals' human rights provide fundamental insights into the causes, manifestations and consequences of human rights violations experienced by Tribal communities.
