    Indian Act Research Paper

    The Indian Act is just one of many policies developed by the government of Canada in order to assimilate and colonize First Nations people of Canada. The Indian Act sets forth racist, colonizing and assimilating properties in order to control First Nations people and ensure their right to self-determination is abolished. Women’s rights, property rights, and self-determination are just three aspects of the Indian Act that has negatively impacted First Nations people in Canada throughout history and to this day. The Indian Act especially impacted women as it took away their right to status in certain circumstances. Property rights were also affected as the government took away the rights to the land, and continues to use it for their benefit today. Lastly, the Indian Act has not helped First Nations people and their fight for self-determination in Canada, more so it has attempted to assimilate and completely colonize First Nations people without regard for their right to self-government. The amendments to the Indian Act were done to fix the wrong doings of the original Indian Act, however the Indian Act still has a far way to come before it is completely fair and acknowledges the rights of the First Nations people in Canada…

    Witch Hunting in Adivasi Society(Special Reference to North Bengal)

    Adivasi societies are particularly present in the Indian states of Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal (Special reference of North Bengal), Mizoram and other north-eastern states, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Many smaller tribal groups are quite sensitive to ecological degradation caused by modernization. Both commercial forestry and intensive agriculture have proved destructive to the forests that had endured Sweden agriculture for many centuries. Adivasi populations suffer disproportionately from India’s modernization. Many depends on India’s forests for their livelihood, and they have suffered from both the destruction of these forests as well as state efforts to preserve the forests which often fail to account for the populations that live within them. They are increasingly becoming migrant laborers, a process which tears at the social fabric of their communities. The condition of the Adivasi populations varies quite considerably from one state to the next. National law gives states considerable power over defining who count as a “Scheduled Tribe” and who does not. As a result, the same group might be considered a scheduled tribe in one state, but not in the neighbouring state.…

These organizations acted as a gift for town poor group as opposed to a danger, this framework stayed limited to settle minor issues identifying with organization or neighborhood question. These two frameworks, in view of the present populist soul, were stripped of their great components and provincial administration crushed the soul of such discussions amid their time and formalized them into court-like foundations to force and uphold honest to goodness ridiculous and unforgiving laws just to stifle the town group.
