“We dream of our land. Every thing we see, that we walk on, that we feel through our body, it belongs to our land. We need the land to think about ourselves, to know who we are. We are no people without our land. The government should understand this. This is not negotiable. Land cannot be compensated.” 148 There is a need for understanding and interpretation of indigenous traditions and their epistemologies. In the many sources they were portrayed almost as non-humans, the classical literature portrayed them as exotic, the different disciplines treated them only as part of the subjects, and the State sees them as poor, marginalised and schedules them with least priority. There is another side of the picture too; it is something which has kept them alive, which they have drawn out from their traditions, they would be willing to share. The question is, is the modern world ready to accept that there are indigenous peoples and they are not the successors of those who want to dominate. 148 Bineet Mundu, India Case Study.
