My name in Rajkumar. I am calling from Baghelkhand Adivasi Kisan Mazdoor Mukti Morcha in Satna Madhya Pradesh. We are starting an indefinite dharna from 1st Nov demanding implementation of forest rights act, payment of wages and ration etc. Here Govt is burning houses and crops of adivasis who got land deeds for forest land long back. Many do not get ration in PDS. Wages are due from 5 years. People have got land deeds 10 years back but no possession. For more please call Rajkumar Ji at 09752216971

आदिवासी कला की रचना नहीं करते
हस्तशिल्प बनाते हैं

आदिवासी
संस्कृतियों की नहीं
दंत कथाओं की रचना करते हैं

आदिवासी मनुष्य नहीं
मानव संसाधन होते हैं

आदिवासियों के नाम नहीं होते
उनकी बस संख्या होती है
वे कभी इतिहास में दर्ज नहीं होते बल्कि
पुलिस की गोली से मारे जाने पर
स्थानीय अखबार में उनका ज़िक्र होता है

एक आदिवासी की कीमत बस एक कारतूस के बराबर होती है

My name is Chitra Kumari. I am calling from Bagmara block of Dhanbad district in Jharkhand. Damodar river flows next to my village but the river is in bad shape thanks to coal mines in the area. Many of them throw their waste direct in the river. Thousands of villages and lakhs of people depend of the river. I request the Govt to stop this murder of the river and force coal mines to level the open cast mines and give people their land back. For more Chitra Ji can be reached at 09570081278

My name is Mukesh Kumar. I am calling from Jaba block of Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh. On 15th day of our cycle yatra we have reached a village called Raghunathpur. Here Govt is bringing piped drinking water to people’s houses but the water is not being brought to adivasi houses.
