Kani Tribes of Kanyakumari Denied Rights

The Kani tribes in the western ghats stretch of the Kanyakumari district still lack basic amenities in the tribal settlement areas. After dwelling in the forest for more than a century, the tribal community continues to face neglect from successive governments. Proper housing, toilets, roads and electricity remain a distant dream, while the forest department continues to strengthen their hold over the tribe. Human-animal conflicts remain unaddressed, while the monsoons and cyclones continue to increase their suffering. Once known for different agricultural practices, the community now depends only on rubber cultivation.
