Empowerment and gender equality are crucial for the socio-economic development of any community, especially the tribal communities in India. Tribal women face multiple challenges, such as low literacy, poor health, a lack of access to productive resources, and violence. They also have limited participation in decision-making and political processes, despite their significant role in collecting and managing minor forest produce. To address these issues, various policies and measures have been taken at the national, state, and local levels, but there are still gaps between policy and practice. The patriarchal structure of society and the household hinders the empowerment of tribal women and their agency. Therefore, there is a need for affirmative action and equitable progress to ensure that tribal women have equal opportunities and rights in all spheres of life. This paper reviews the existing literature on the status and role of tribal women in India, the nature and dimensions of change in their lives, and the challenges and prospects for their empowerment and gender development. The paper also suggests some recommendations for enhancing the empowerment and gender equality of tribal women in India.

Throughout history, humans have expressed their relationship with nature in various ways that reflect their cooperation and harmony with the natural world. These expressions show how humans depend on and value nature for its blessings and gifts. Many religions also honor nature and its elements as sources of divine or sacred power, wisdom, guidance, inspiration, or revelation, as well as meeting human needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. For instance, some religious traditions worship the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth, the water, the fire, or the wind as expressions of the divine or as vital forces of life. Furthermore, humans have been given the responsibility to protect and care for God's creation, as taught by different religious traditions. This means that humans have a moral and spiritual duty to respect and preserve the diversity and integrity of nature, as well as to avoid or reduce any damage or destruction that may disturb its balance and harmony. Religion plays an important role in environmental issues and values. However, religion may not have expressed its concern for these issues in the same way as we do today. Modern environmentalism arose in response to the ecological crisis caused by human activities such as industrialization, urbanization, deforestation, pollution, overconsumption, and climate change. These issues need scientific knowledge, technological innovation, political action, and social change to solve them effectively. Religion may not have the same tools or strategies as environmentalism, but it can offer a different perspective and a complementary approach that can improve and enrich the environmental discourse and practice. Religion can offer a holistic vision of the relationship between humans and nature that is based on values such as love, compassion, justice, peace, and harmony. Religion can also encourage and motivate people to work for the common good of all living beings and to seek solutions that are sustainable and fair. Religion can also cultivate a sense of awe and wonder for the beauty and mystery of nature that can foster a deeper connection and a greater appreciation for its worth and meaning.

According to Croissant & Lorenz, Southeast Asia as a region is an extraordinarily diverse collection of states, which vary widely in history, demographics, culture, economy, political systems, and the political challenges they face. Geographically, Southeast Asia is divided into an insular or maritime region, comprising Brunei, Indonesia, parts of Malaysia, the Philippines, and Timor-Leste, and a mainland or continental part, including Burma, Cambodia, Laos, the Malay Peninsula, and Vietnam (Croissant & Lorenz, 2018). Political and cultural synthesis can be seen in the way that Southeast Asian states have adapted to various external influences and internal challenges over time. Political and cultural synthesis can also be seen in the way that Southeast Asian societies have developed their forms of nationalism, identity, and civil society that reflect their diverse ethnic, religious, and linguistic backgrounds. The paper argues that political and cultural synthesis is a key feature a...

The article examines the phenomenon of witchcraft in medieval Europe, focusing on the role of ecstasy as a key element of the witch’s experience. It shows how witchcraft was conceived as a heretical and demonic activity that involved flying through the air, having sex with devils, and joining in night-time gatherings. It also analyses the historical and religious factors that influenced the formation and expression of witchcraft beliefs, such as the impact of classical mythology, folkloric traditions, Christian theology, and popular superstition. Moreover, it investigates the legal and theological reactions to the alleged danger of witchcraft, such as the papal bull of 1484 that authorized the persecution of witches, the influential treatise Malleus Maleficarum that established the witch stereotype, and the various trials and executions that occurred across Europe. The article uses various types of evidence, such as literary works, court documents, and theological writings, to demon...
