Adivasi Lives Matter

On this day, we remember Dharanidhar Naik (5 May 1864), a fearless Adivasi leader born in Kusumita, Keonjhar, who stood against oppression during British rule.

At a time when the king of Keonjhar, Dhanurjaya Bhanja, imposed harsh systems like forced labour (Bethi) and unjust grain laws, the lives of Adivasi communities were pushed to extreme suffering. But resistance rose from the ground.

Between 1891–1893, Dharanidhar Naik led a powerful rebellion, uniting the Kol, Bhuyan, and Juang communities. He even fought the historic battle of Subarn, challenging both feudal injustice and colonial control.

This was not just a fight against a ruler it was a fight for dignity, land, and rights.

Remembering the courage of Adivasi resistance.

Adivasi Lives Matter

This Labour Day, remember those who build cities while losing homes.

Many Adivasi workers migrate not out of choice, but because land, forests, water, and traditional livelihoods are taken away or made impossible to sustain. What is often called “migration” is, for many, a story of displacement and survival.

They travel far from their villages to work in construction sites, brick kilns, factories, farms, mines, and homes, doing some of the hardest and most invisible labour that keeps the country moving. They build roads they may never walk freely on, raise buildings they may never live in, and produce wealth they may never share in.
Yet their contributions are rarely acknowledged. Instead, many face low wages, unsafe conditions, debt traps, language barriers, exploitation, and exclusion from welfare systems. Women workers carry an even heavier burden of underpaid labour and unpaid care work.

Their labour powers India. Their rights remain ignored.

Labour Day should not only celebrate work. It should ask who bears its heaviest cost, and who remains unseen behind development.

आज हम गोंड राजा लाल श्याम शाह महाराज को याद करते हैं, जिन्होंने जल, जंगल, जमीन, संस्कृति और आदिवासी स्वाभिमान की लड़ाई को अपना जीवन समर्पित किया। अलग गोंडवाना राज्य की मांग उठाकर उन्होंने अपनी जनता की आवाज़ बुलंद की।
ऐसे जननायक हमें याद दिलाते हैं कि नेतृत्व सत्ता से नहीं, समाज के लिए संघर्ष से बनता है।

उनकी जयंती पर कोटि-कोटि नमन।

Remembering Sadhu Ramchand Murmu on his birth anniversary.

A true torchbearer of Santhali literature, music, and education, he was not just a poet but a movement in himself. Revered as “Kobiguru” and “Mahakabi,” his words carried the soul of the Santhal community rooted in culture, identity, and resistance.

Through his writings and teachings, he inspired generations to embrace education while staying deeply connected to their traditions. His legacy continues to guide and empower Adivasi voices even today.

On this day, we celebrate his life, his vision, and his timeless contribution to our society.

Remembering the fearless Bhumij leader Ganga Narayan Singh on his birth anniversary 25 April 1790.

A symbol of resistance and courage, he led the historic 1832–33 rebellion against British exploitation, unjust taxation, land auctions, and systemic oppression in the Jungle Mahal region. Through the formation of the Sardar Guerrilla Vahini, he united tribal and local communities into a powerful force of resistance.

The British themselves termed this uprising as “Ganga Narain’s Hangama” a testament to the impact and intensity of his struggle.

Today, we remember not just a leader, but a legacy of resistance, unity, and the fight for dignity.

महान स्वतंत्रता सेनानी शहीद जीतराम बेदिया के शहीद दिवस (23 अप्रैल 1858) पर शत-शत नमन।

अंग्रेजों की गुलामी के खिलाफ उन्होंने न सिर्फ आवाज उठाई, बल्कि अपने क्षेत्र के आदिवासियों और छोटानागपुर के अन्य समुदायों को एकजुट कर आज़ादी की लड़ाई में झोंक दिया।
रामगढ़ और बोकारो की धरती उनके साहस और बलिदान की गवाह है।

गुमनाम रहे, लेकिन उनके संघर्ष की गूंज आज भी जिंदा है।

इतिहास भले भूल जाए, पर हमारी यादों में वो हमेशा जिंदा रहेंगे। ✊🏽🔥

अमर वीर शहीद तेलंगा खड़िया जी के बलिदान दिवस पर कोटि-कोटि नमन 🙏

23 अप्रैल 1880 यह सिर्फ एक तारीख नहीं, बल्कि साहस, संघर्ष और बलिदान की अमर गाथा है।
झारखंड के गुमला जिले से आने वाले खड़िया जनजाति के वीर सेनानी तेलंगा खड़िया ने बचपन से ही शस्त्र अभ्यास और कुश्ती में महारत हासिल की थी।

1831-32 की कोल क्रांति से प्रेरित होकर उन्होंने अंग्रेजों के खिलाफ लोगों को संगठित किया और संघर्ष की मशाल जलाई। अंग्रेजों ने उन्हें बंदी बनाया, लेकिन उनकी हिम्मत को कैद नहीं कर सके। रिहा होने के बाद उन्होंने फिर से आंदोलन को और तेज कर दिया।

उनके बढ़ते प्रभाव से घबराकर अंग्रेजों ने विश्वासघात का सहारा लिया और उनके ही एक साथी के माध्यम से 23 अप्रैल 1880 को उनकी हत्या करवा दी।

आज हम उनके साहस, बलिदान और संघर्ष को याद करते हुए उन्हें नमन करते हैं।
