The indigenous people live in areas very rich in natural resources. In this era of Globalization, marginalization of these communities followed by destroying their natural resources, structure, culture and identity are to be mitigated by sense of sustainability.
Paper long abstract:
The indigenous people live in areas very rich in natural resources. In this era of Globalization, there are attempts to control over these resources. Marginalization of these communities followed by destroying their natural resources, structure, culture and identity are to be mitigated by sustainable way of development; otherwise the system will be used and reused by outside vested interests. We should not forget that these people can contribute a lot on behalf of their Indigenous Knowledge systems to humanity. Unless we incorporate these people, sustainability in favour of our future generations can not be achieved. Rather crisis to the nation may arise. Believe or not, indigenous communities so far neglected and even being in a pre-State condition are highly patriotic and very much attached to their pre-agricultural and agrarian production systems.
