India is a multi-racial country. Different parts have different cultural traits and levels of development. It is not uncommon to find that there are certain tribes, which are not yet touched even by the fringe of civilization. Aboriginal are examples of this. The word tribe is taken to denote a primary aggregate of people lining under primitive or barbarous condition under a headman or chief. Tribes is a group of families living as a community under one or more chiefs, united by language and customs. The main and vital objective of this volume is to make in the book a few selected articles that represent some kind of contributions to the knowledge of tribal education. While writing the articles I have tried completely to emphasis on concept, principles and applied aspects of tribal education. This volume will be highly useful to faculty members, researchers, policy makers, local self govt. and NGOs working on tribal development and to the general public.

The tribals are industrious, hardy, peaceful and simple-minded people and have to be admired for the uniqueness of their culture. The socio-economic, educational and political development after independence have provided a new impetus to the forces of dynamism in the tribal India. Contact with urban people, spread of education, rising aspirations of the tribal youth, growth of social and political leaders all have combined to give rise to, what we may call, tribal elites. The study deals with various problems concerning the development of personality. It is found that some students are good in their studies, while others inspite of their hard labour do not do well in their studies and are frustrated. This has led psychologists as well as researchers to investigate into the different dimensions of personality.

This work provides a healthy, comprehensive counterpoint to the ethnocentrism engrained in the widespread belief that scientific knowledge about education is typically Western. Stressing that the Western 'minority' perspective cannot hold true for the 'majority' of the world population situated outside Europe and North America, this edited volume explores traditional educational theories and practices developed in the majority world to study how they can improve modern schooling globally. Educational Theories and Practices from the Majority World probes the elements of culturally appropriate, quality schooling for various indigenous people in India, the Pacific and the Americas. One of the sections dwells on how to synergise the systems used in modern schools with the ones used in non-Western formal schools linked to religious institutions, such as Koranic, Sanskrit, Buddhist and Vodoo schools. Another section delves into educational policy issues in the context of globalization. This compilation brings together difficult-to-access theories and research by contributors from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America. It is an invaluable resource for policy makers in Education and for students, researchers and academicians studying Education and Anthropology.
