Much has been written about primary health care in rural India, however research on primary health care in tribal India still needs attention. Tribals in India still continue to suffer from digestive, skin, respiratory and nutritional disorders. This is especially the case amongst women and children. The recent studies by the Tribal Research and Training Institute of Maharashtra. Pune, have demonstrated that malnutrition amongst tribal children below the age of five years is 92 per cent and as high as 70 per cent amongst tribal women. The problem of tribal health and nutrition is linked with social, economic and educational status of the tribals. This book presents issues of concern in tribal health, nutrition and medicine. It provides recommendations to resolve tribal health, nutrition and medicine issues. The book will be useful to students of anthropology, sociology, health sciences, social work, tribal and general readers. Contents: Tribal People in the Indian Context and the Bhils, Nature and Role of Ethnomedical Specialists, Changing Circumstances, Current Health Needs of the Bhils, Recommendations for the Future.

This book, which is the outcome of a national seminar in India, examines different issues relating to tribal health and nutrition in India, in specific context of their culture, local ecology, voluntary efforts, and institutional intervention. The broad conclusion of the seminar's papers highlights the pitiable conditions in this regard. Scholars have however suggested ways and means to deal with the inhibiting factors that are responsible for the slow and lopsided process of improvement in health and nutritional status of tribes. The book will be a valuable contribution to the field of tribal health and nutrition.

The present book highlight ethnographic, demographic, nutritional ecological, economic and cultural profiles in relation to the scenario of food and nutition of five tribal communities of India viz., the Lodhas, the Mahalis, the Koras, the Santals and the Mundas. The study pinpoints nutritional anthropology of the foregoing communities to assess and recommend ameliorative measures. The profiles of different aspects referred to above are interwoven with one another and conjointly provide to frame a holistic picture which would hopefully better equip the readers to assess the anthropo-nutritional problems of the tribal communities and also find out the plausible solution to them. Micro-study of this kind on the tribal population is probably the maiden venture in the Indian context. The book would be helpful to the planners, administrators public health workers, nutritionists, medical personnels, biochemists, sociologists, anthroopologists and other interested in anthropo-nutritional profile of the Indian tribes.

The tribes were chosen because their territories were adjoining, but their dietary customs were different, "the Akikuyu being almost exclusively vegetarian and the Masai chiefly carnivorous."
