An opinion on development with respect to indigenous people's own concept in life

Historically, indigenous people in developing countries have been socially discriminated against and marginalized by the process of economic modernization. However, they are not always in ignorance and unconsciousness. They might value traditional knowledge signified under their own concepts in life, because it is fundamental to their cultural values, spiritual beliefs, and collective identities. Development concept promoted by Western countries must be deducted by some abstract ideas of economic modernization, West's rationality and polity etc. Sometimes development itself is not undesirable for the indigenous people, but the Western development concept behind the development processes is intolerable for them. Development specialists are saying that the indigenous people are poor due to their disentitlement. The entitlement is exercisable within a fabric of society structured in line with an abstract concept consisted with them. Such disentitlement might be caused from their dislike to living in the outside concept. It is forbidden to compel indigenous people to entitle if they dislike living under the abstract concept related to the entitlement. Motivation to development of the indigenous people is essential for the success of their development. Such motivation can make it effective being formed an incentive and related drive simultaneously. Incentives for development can be induced easily, however drives for development will not be brought about within their mind unless they mentally accept the development concepts. It is not permitted to enforce the new concepts on indigenous people abjuring their own faith and traditional concepts. A development is to shift from a stabilized cultural balance to a new steadiness in culture assimilating stranger concepts, through various development processes taking long time. In order to motivate indigenous people soundly and to redress such conceptual inconsistency successfully, a self-examined participatory approach is recommended for adoption as watching their progress intently.
