Because certain groups of society are excluded from the decision-making process due to their unique historical socio-cultural experiences, empowerment inevitably requires political inclusion in the institutions of decision-making as well as a change in the existing power relations. Therefore, proper and effective representation in the institutions of governance is necessary for people to feel empowered in a democratic political system and to participate in making decisions that have an impact on their daily lives. Political inclusion through representation and empowerment are fundamentally connected. Despite the various definitions and approaches to empowerment, it can be agreed that marginalized and previously excluded groups' representation and political presence in institutions of governance will give them significant power to alter the game's rules and to negotiate power relations with the privileged groups of society. Evidently, oppressed groups, including unorganized workers, poor peasants, tribal people, dalits, and women, see empowerment as goals of social justice and economic development in the democratic process. Furthermore, it is expected that the political, social, and economic landscapes will change as a result of the inclusion of excluded groups like Schedule Tribes in politics. Political empowerment, which refers to a group's level of significant representation and influence in political decision-making, is also known as political inclusion. As a result, this essay explores India's political empowerment and tribal development.
