2) Adivasis cannot be equal citizens until they are considered holistically as a part of cultural and ecospheres with unique customs and practices, and not just as welfare recipients receiving doles. Critically comment why discrimination and atrocities against Adivasis in India continues unabated, even in states that are educationally advanced. (250 Words)

They remian unabated due to the following factors
1. Their culture which is not in mainstream with the society. For e.fg. which section of the scoiety practice Jhum cultivation in central India, or Maharatshtra? None. So, many downlook upon them- including civil scoiety and NGOs
2. They are too shy to protest. There was an incident where a photogrpher was taking phtographs of naked women in north east. This is against the dignity of women and their right to life- Art 21
3. They look different than most of the people in India. The reason may be attributed to some Tibetan influence, or say chinese influence, cross breeding amon the individuals in the long past . We can not do much about it now. But we have to protect them.
4. They lack much of scientific attitude. Rest of India talsk about digital india, bo pharma mission, and atal innovation mission, are these missions also replicated in north east in letter and spirit? If the adivasis can also develop scientific temper, we can prevent the discrimination and atrocities in them
5. Environmental benefits: They have long been dependent on forest resources for their livelihood. While the rest of india depend upon super market chains, multi brand retail outlets and vegetable mandis in the town. This is a stark difference. If we can eliminate this difference, then we can prevent the atrocities against them.
Innovative approach and iron wll is required based on laws of the land and constitution.
