The government of the Indian state of Jharkhand has declared that
tribal people from different parts of the state will be taken on tours
to visit cities.
The idea behind the visits is to show the tribes what 'development' is
in the hopes of integrating tribal populations into the 'mainstream.'
However, according to reports in Indian online newspaper Web India, the
real reason behind the plan could be that the government is eyeing up
tribal land for industrial exploitation.
