This paper examines tribal unrest in central India. The paper has a limitation as it depends on the studies of other tribal scholars to present the Adivasi predicament rather than on my own ethnographic study. The author pleads that Indian society ought to adopt radical ecological democracy that nurtures tribal values. Renunciation is the key. Greed is identified as the source of the problem of ecology, and adopting a simple life-style is the way to suppress greed. Living in harmony with the nature and keeping their needs to the minimum, the Adivasi communities proclaim the message that the earth resource should not be used indiscriminately to satisfy human avarice. They register a powerful protest against a wasteful lifestyle devoid of any sense of responsibility to the world of nature. Tribal resistance in central states of India is for radical ecological democracy which is an alternative path to inclusive and sustainable development.
