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. The local adivasis tell that they have no option but to look for laborer work all around the whole day. This is the situation after so many years of independence.
