Tribal movements in central India are against sarkar, sahukar and zamindar. Comment.

Tribal movements in Central India have historically been against the Sarkar (Government), Sahukar (Moneylenders), and Zamindar (Landlords). This is primarily due to the exploitation and oppression faced by the tribal communities at the hands of these entities.

1. Sarkar (Government): Tribal communities have often been at odds with the government due to issues like displacement caused by development projects, non-recognition of their traditional rights over forest resources, and imposition of alien laws and customs on them. The government's failure to effectively implement protective legislation like the PESA Act, 1996 and the Forest Rights Act, 2006 has also led to discontent among tribal communities.

2. Sahukar (Moneylenders): Tribal communities have been exploited by moneylenders who charge exorbitant interest rates. Due to their lack of access to formal credit institutions, tribal people often fall into debt traps laid by these moneylenders. This has led to movements demanding better access to formal credit facilities and regulation of moneylending activities.

3. Zamindar (Landlords): Land alienation is a major issue faced by tribal communities. Tribal lands have been taken over by non-tribal landlords, often through illegal means. This has led to movements demanding the restoration of alienated lands to tribal people and the implementation of land ceiling laws.

In conclusion, tribal movements in Central India are a response to the systemic exploitation and oppression faced by tribal communities. They demand recognition of their rights, justice, and an end to their exploitation.
