Revealing these existing inequities and vulnerabilities, the pandemic situation critically questions what this divide means for the already marginalized communities in India. The founding fathers of the Indian Constitution foresaw the profound challenge of creating social, political, and economic equity with huge diversity. They saw education with development as a solution to create a just society. Therefore, the structures of reservation and economic support were built into the Constitution. However, these government policies of development and education were intensely geared towards integration as a nation-building exercise. Meanwhile, access to education is still provisional, subject to factors like lack of infrastructure, and that access is not always enough for emancipation. Through this chapter, the nation-building exercise will be critically examined in the light of diversity and the missing narratives of the consent of marginal citizens through the post-colonial lens.

While grounding the body of these women, this article would also discern how these bodies are presented and represented in dominant state narrative. The question emerges, how are these lives seen, and how their existence is conceived? The stories that emerge from the multiple narratives of these women are a testimony to the precarity of their lives. Through this article, an account of what lives find validity and space in the national discourses of the mainstream would be explored. The explication would be arrived through the lens of Ego Historie, Sensory studies, textual and cinematic analysis. Who is a Tribal woman? The question of who is a woman is an important one especially in context to Feminist discourse and therefore necessitates who is a tribal woman. In context to this article, it is a mere reference of all those bodies who identify with the feminine gender in the most colloquial meaning of the term woman. The term tribal, here I borrow is in its closest meaning the Adivasi community of India under the Scheduled Tribe nomenclature as the concept has now been adopted by the tribal themselves to differentiate and perhaps claim their identity visa vis the dominant culture.
