Abstract [Hindi]
राजस्थान की जनजातियाँ प्राचीन काल से ही अपनी बहादुरी, स्वतंत्रता प्रेम और संघर्षशीलता के लिए जानी जाती रही हैं। ब्रिटिश शासन के दौरान जब संपूर्ण भारत स्वतंत्रता की लौ जलाने के लिए संघर्ष कर रहा था, तब राजस्थान की अनुसूचित जनजातियाँ भी इस संग्राम का अभिन्न अंग बनीं। इस शोध अध्ययन का उद्देश्य राजस्थान के भील, मीणा, गरासिया, सहरिया और अन्य जनजातियों द्वारा स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में निभाई गई भूमिका का विश्लेषण करना है। राजस्थान में कई अनुसूचित जनजातियाँ निवास करती हैं, जिनमें मुख्य रूप से भील, मीणा, गरासिया, सहरिया, डामोर और काथड़ी जनजातियाँ शामिल हैं।
राजस्थान की अनुसूचित जनजातियों ने अंग्रेजों के खिलाफ विद्रोह किया और कई वीरों ने स्वतंत्रता के लिए अपने प्राणों की आहुति दी। राजस्थान के अनुसूचित जनजातियों ने स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई। कई वीरों ने अंग्रेजों और जमींदारों के अत्याचारों के खिलाफ विद्रोह किया और मातृभूमि के लिए अपने प्राणों की आहुति दी।
