Anthropologist Megan Moodie examines the Indian state's relationship to 'scheduled tribes', or adivasis - historically oppressed groups that are now entitled to affirmative action quotas in educational and political institutions.

Why has India's astonishing economic growth not reached the people at the bottom of its social and economic hierarchy?
