Tribal Rights and Local Governance in Manipur: Challenges and Prospects

Author(s) T.N. Shimreishang

Abstract Tribal communities are associated with a territory and possess a strong living tradition of self-governance. Recognizing the characterized distinct identity and traditional governance systems of these communities, the Indian Constitution incorporates special provisions to safeguard and preserve their rights, customs, and traditions. However, despite these guarantees, there has been a problem of adequate implementation, and the hill communities continue to face significant challenges in the protection of tribal rights, which became a matter of grave concern to the tribal populace. The besieged conflicts on issues and the contests that society faces pertaining to the denial of the rights of tribals raise a question of justice, fairness, inclusive development, and good governance in the state. The study attempts to track and analyze the present issues concerning the rights and autonomy of the tribals and the effects of the measures on local governance. By shedding light on these issues, the study aspires to contribute to academic discourse generate insights into tribal governance, and offer recommendations for policy reforms. It also hopes to aid in fostering a more inclusive and effective governance system that upholds the constitutional rights of tribal communities while promoting sustainable development and social justice.
