India is one of the nations in the world to have expanded special arrangements for the hundreds of ethnic minorities in general and tribal communities in particular. The most important of the various rights that needs immediate protection by several domestic laws to the tribal people. The economic and social rights of the tribal communities must be protected in India with the integration of new laws that will be in tune with the human rights movements across the world. The protection of Human Rights of the tribal peoples is a large issue that attracts global norms beyond the national frontier. The present study has taken into justification the development of the laws relating to the tribal peoples in international as well as the national sphere. The study has also brought to attention the part played by the judiciary in the protection and upliftment of these tribal people. The provisions of the Indian Constitution in parts III, IV, X call for special consideration to the protection of tribal and tribal areas. Scheduled V and Scheduled VI are specially created for the tribal people in India. The problems are the scarcity of adequate legislation to protect the rights of this section of society. The existing legislation falls short of providing the basic rights to these people and satisfying their basic needs to a great extent. They have to fulfil the Constitutional objectives in the form of equality before the law and equal protection of the law.
