We propose that through dialogue there exists the possibility of evolving alternative ideas and paradigms about protection, promotion and preservation of Indigenous peoples in India.
The JTICI endeavours to publish empirical, conceptual and theoretical articles that make substantial contributions to the field in all areas of Adivasi and Indigenous Peoples Studies including

This journal began in the year 2012 by the Tribal Intellectual Collective India supported by tribal academics from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Bodoland University, North Eastern Hill University, Central University of Hyderabad, English and Foreign Language University, Delhi University, Savitri Phule Pune University, IIT Bombay, Mahatma Gandhi University and others.

The tribal communities are leaderless in the academic domain and there was a felt need to galvanise the tribes in the knowledge enterprise. The Journal aims at creating support systems for Tribes to capacitate them in intellectual activities and provide space to articulate their academic work, plus facilitate other students, scholars, development workers, heads and staff of fieldwork agencies, and faculty from universities working in the areas of tribal studies and development to produce humane theoretical and empirical knowledge based on direct engagement with the field context.
