FOREST RIGHTS – ENGLISH
 |
Forest is the tribal habitat, their home and livelihood, centre of their culture, existence and survival. Over centuries they had developed a symbiotic relationship between their communities and forests but the forest management has not always respected their rights. However, today the forest dwellers are becoming aware of their rights. Because of it they are able to influence at least partially the National forest policy, 1988. There was a strong reaction also against their eviction all over India in 2002. They demanded that their right to shelter be recognized. The draft forest bill being prepared by the present Central Government is, therefore, meant to regularize their right to a house and land. Also the court judgments were the results of interventions by social activists and others communities. From this background a PIL (22/02) filed by Sri Jacob Marak and others against the State of Assam is discussed in detail in this booklet.
