The book "Being Adivasi: Existence, Entitlements, Exclusion" is a notable contribution to the discourse on Adivasi communities, focusing on their existence, entitlements, and the challenges of exclusion. Edited by A.F. Xaxa and G.N. Devy, the book comprises eleven insightful chapters contributed by different researchers, offering a unique Adivasi perspective on various issues. As part of the "Rethinking India" book series and in collaboration with the "Samruddha Bharat Foundation (S.B.F.)," this volume stands out for its fresh and nuanced understanding of the Adivasi experience, which is unique from what is done in anthropology and ethnography.
