The
influence of globalization on the livelihood systems of the Bhils, a well-known
tribal group in southern Rajasthan, is investigated in this study. It examines
the historical background of Bhil subsistence traditions, including changing
agricultural methods, forest-based economies, and community land usage, and
critically evaluates the ways in which these patterns have been rearranged by
forces of global economics. The study finds important change agents by
examining the rise of extractive sectors, migration patterns, infrastructure
expansion, and shifting ambitions influenced by media and education. According
to the report, there has been a notable movement toward wage labor,
particularly seasonal migration, along with a loss of traditional autonomy, a reconfiguring
of gender and youth roles, and economic weaknesses. Local community case
studies offer well-founded perspectives on the intricacy of these shifts. The
article concludes with policy suggestions, arguing that in order to promote
long-term resilience among Bhil communities, development models should be
environmentally sustainable, culturally sensitive, and based on tribal agency.
