Gender Discrimination among the Tribes of Andhra Pradesh

Abstract

Gender discrimination in India is observed to be extremely complex in view of India's social and economic diversity, the interplay of cultural and economic factors and the impact of policy initiatives. Of late some scholars pointed out that tribals are being assimilated into the national culture of discrimination and hence the gender discrimination is no more a nontribal characteristic. This paper deals with the gender discrimination in the case of two tribal communities in India.
