TRIBAL PEASANTRY 71 could not be sustained due to the incapacity of any class to accomplish this integration successfully in the post-colonial period. Thus the process of disassociation continues and is spreading and becoming stronger. Tribes in India are not only numerous but differ widely from each other. Hence, there can be no universal scheme of development for all regions. The movements in the north-east and Jharkhand, apart from posing other issues, arc also a critique of the development policies being followed. They demand a policy which is not an imposition, which does not violate their traditional mode of existence but which implies a more humane application of science while acknowledging their indigenous values.
