Спасибо!

Если это про Индию, то "untouchability" -- это неприкасаемость (т.е., принадлежность к касте неприкасаемых и все связанные с ней радости жизни). "Tribal people" (в Индии еще говорят "tribals") -- это индийский эквивалент "коренных народностей Крайнего Севера", только живут они, понятное дело, не на Крайнем Севере, а в каких-то более индийских сюрреалистических глубенях. Живут обычно обособленно, своим мирком, и с окружающей их со всех сторон Индией если и взаимодействуют, то чисто экономически. Сплошь и рядом говорят на своем собственном языке, имеют свою собственную религию (обычно местную ветвь индуизма -- поклоняются местным богам) и свою собственную политическую систему (обычно основанную на власти старейшин). Учреждения индийского правительства и правительств штатов не племенных территориях могут не существовать вообще, существовать только на бумаге или существовать, но фактически исполнять волю старейшин(ы).

"Take up the cause" и "welfare", хочется надеяться, и так понятно, но если нет -- свистите...

Sayajirao Gaekwad III in 1875. The first few years of power brought to Sayajirao an acute awareness of his own shortcomings and at the same time of two of his dominant passions in later life: education and travel. He travelled extensively in India and abroad. It was during one of his trips to England that he found and engaged the services of A. A. Ghose. In the fields of education, health, communication, water supply, the progress was remarkable, and hardly seen in any State in India; the Baroda administration could well stand comparison with the very best to be found in British India. Having understood the value of education, Sayajirao opened schools in villages and towns of his state. Schools for boys, schools for girls. Education was made available to children of all classes and castes. He took up the cause of removal of untouchability and the welfare of tribal people. The Baroda College —its activities financed from State funds —was built in 1881 in the State's capital Baroda. "When I knew him," recalled Sri Aurobindo in 1936, "the Gaekwad was a free-thinker without any religion; I don't know if he has altered his views since. Formally, he is of course a Hindu." Sayajirao was a sportsman, a patron of arts and culture. He associated with some of the eminent Poona intellectuals who were critics of the Raj. The British bureaucracy, unable to swallow his great popularity among the Nationalists, came to regard him as a 'patron of sedition' and kept filing secret reports against him.

No, Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad was not a prince for nothing: honour and dignity were his watchwords. At the Delhi Durbar of 1911, when the royal couple visited India to celebrate their coronation, he went in a simple dress without the princely regalia or decorations, a walking stick instead of a golden baton. And to the consternation of the assembled dignitaries, he was the one prince who did not walk backwards after presenting himself before the King-Emperor George V and his Queen Mary.

"Tribal people" (в Индии еще говорят "tribals") -- это индийский эквивалент "коренных народностей Крайнего Севера" - а как их по-русски назвать?
Просто туземцы? :)

Знал бы -- рассказал бы...

Не зря назывался принцем.

Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad, даром что принц, оказался парень не промах....
