There is a wide recognition throughout the globe that regions of ecological prudence exhibit a symbiotic relationship between habitats and culture. Societies that live close to nature, which include tribal societies/indigenous/adivasi people, have evolved with their environment, modifying nature but actively maintaining it in a diverse and productive state, on the basis of their indigenous and ancient knowledge. Realising the fact that the theoretical schemes of praxis in the domain of sociology of knowledge treat human beings as the generators of new descriptions rather than being one hope to describe accurately. The proposed article embarks upon a historiographic approach to understand the tribes within the subaltern framework by looking specifically at the past and contemporary tribal protests and environmental movements across the globe. The mapping of the undercarpeted tribalism and tribal rationality is the need of the hour for creative alternative indigenous development and subaltern representation.
