It is one of the initiatives of the UNO to protect the socio-cultural heritage of various ethnic groups of the world. Its preservation is not only a necessity, but also a right of an ethnic community. The Constitution of India indorses the declaration of the UNO by incorporating the Fifth and Sixth Schedule into it. The Tiwas had traditional monarchy based on decentralized power structure in a number of principalities and political institutions. The democratic character was its great value for which it is running even in modern days. The emergence of modern democratic institutions is bringing changes in it. There is also movement for autonomy under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution for which hectic political activities are on among them.
In this backdrop, this book aims at presenting a comprehensive understanding on the politics and administration of the Tiwas, from past to the present. The basic objective is to cast a deep into it and the tactics they use to adopt at various stages. It has been our effort to fill the gap, touch all aspects and reconstruct a theory on its values by systematic description and documentation.
