The Tribal Voices in Selected Indian Fiction delves into the often-overlooked lives, struggles, and cultural legacy of India’s indigenous communities through the lens of contemporary literature. Drawing from works by Mahasweta Devi, Gopinath Mohanty, Narayan, Romen Basu, and Maitreyi Pushpa, Dr. Sona Agarwal examines how Indian fiction reflects—and often distorts—the realities of tribal existence.

This thought-provoking study explores themes of displacement, identity, ecofeminism, and the politics of representation, tracing the evolution of tribal portrayals from colonial marginalization to modern resistance. It brings to light the profound wisdom, resilience, and environmental consciousness inherent in tribal traditions while questioning the impact of globalization, modernization, and cultural assimilation. 

Scholarly yet accessible, this book is essential reading for students of literature, anthropology, and postcolonial studies, as well as for anyone seeking to understand the pluralistic fabric of Indian society and the voices that have long remained on its fringes.
