 Why do Adivasis, including C.K. Janu, believe that Adivasiscan also use this 1989 Act to fight against dispossession? Is there anything specific in the provisions of the Act that allows her to believe this?  

Answer:

 Adivasis activists refers the 1989 Act to defend their right to occupy land that was traditionally theirs. Activists have asked that those who have forcibly encroached upon tribal land, should be punished under this law. C.K. Janu, an Adivasi activist, has also pointed that in cases where tribals have already been evicted and cannot go back to their lands, they must be compensated. That is, the government must draw up plans and policies for them to live and work elsewhere.
