The book captures the everyday violence of loss of livelihoods, displacement, insecurity, poverty, and hunger, not to mention the overt violence of ethnic conflicts. It argues that these consequences to people’s well-being can hardly be captured in terms of disease and death alone.

This book brings together the findings from three studies across four sites: Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Kerala. It aims to understand and explain the diverse nature of health inequities along with processes and historical contexts which create, configure, and sustain health inequities among tribal populations in India. The book reveals that beneath the oft-repeated storyline of the poor health of tribal communities lies a more nuanced reality of varied experiences across different tribal communities; and within-group differentials among the same community. The book also forcefully brings home the inadequacy of commonly used health indicators such as morbidity and mortality to describe the multiple dimensions of lack of well-being experienced by the tribal communities.

T.K. Sundari Ravindran has more than four decades of experience as an academic and an activist working on gender and social inequities in health. Renu Khanna has over 40 years’ experience as a feminist development practitioner, trainer and evaluator. Vandana Prasad is a community pediatrician and public health professional with specific experience of working with tribal communities. She is technical advisor Public Health Resource Society (PHRS).
