संतालों की पारंपरिक स्वशासन व्यवस्था कोई किताब की कहानी नहीं, बल्कि पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी हमारे पुरखों से हमें मिली धरोहर है। हमारे लिए यही थाना और सुप्रीम कोर्ट है, जहां फैसले हमारे संस्कृति के अनुसार होते हैं।
यह व्यवस्था सिर्फ कानून नहीं, बल्कि हमारी पहचान है, जहां न्याय, संस्कृति और सामूहिकता साथ चलते हैं।
क्या आपके गांव में भी ऐसी कोई पुरानी पंचायत या पारंपरिक शासन व्यवस्था आज भी चलती है?

Adivasi Lives Matter

This August, as we celebrate Indigenous Month, we’re deep-diving into the rights that empower Adivasi communities.

Last time, we learnt about Article 14 — the foundation of equality in our Constitution.
Now, let’s understand Article 15, which takes the idea of equality even further.

From non-discrimination to affirmative action, Article 15 protects us and empowers us.
But what does that mean in real life?

Swipe through to know how this Article safeguards Adivasi rights and why it’s more than just words on paper.

Did you know Article 15 also empowers the State to create special provisions for Adivasis?
What’s one place where you think discrimination still happens despite these laws? Tell us in the comments.

This month, as we celebrate Indigenous Day all month long, let’s take a moment to understand why Article 14 of the Indian Constitution is so important — especially for Adivasi communities.

Article 14 goes beyond just equal treatment.
It ensures equality with justice, especially for those like the Adivasis who have faced generations of exclusion.

- Protects against arbitrary state actions
- Allows for special laws like PESA and the Forest Rights Act
- Supports affirmative action to ensure real, substantive equality

For Adivasis, equality means:
Rights + Recognition + Protection
Because justice isn’t about ignoring history — it’s about correcting it.


Do you know of any Adivasi stories where rights were restored through these laws? Share them with us!

Wishing everyone a joyous Naknyulum Festival!

May this beautiful celebration by the Chang community of Nagaland continue to remind us of the triumph of light over darkness, and hope over despair.

Let us cherish the light and the hope we still hold — to preserve our traditions and culture.

नारायण सिंह उईके, जिन्होंने निस्तार अधिकार, स्वतंत्र गोंडवाना राज्य, आदिवासी क्षेत्र बंधन हटाओ मुहिम और व्यापारिक शोषण के खिलाफ निरंतर संघर्ष किया।

उनका जीवन एक प्रेरणा है — एक आवाज़ जो न्याय, अधिकार और आत्मसम्मान के लिए उठी और कभी नहीं थकी।

हम उन्हें नमन करते हैं और उनके अधूरे सपनों को साकार करने का संकल्प दोहराते हैं।

As Tripura observes Ker Puja, we honour an ancient tradition rooted in protection, discipline, and spiritual harmony. Celebrated a few days after Kharchi Puja, Ker signifies a sacred boundary set to ward off misfortune and invite peace and prosperity for the entire community.

With chants, drumbeats, and rituals guided by the royal lineage, this age-old practice continues to remind us of the strength found in collective faith and cultural continuity.

On this day, 17 July 1835, U Tirot Sing, the valiant Khasi chief of Nongkhlaw, breathed his last in British captivity.
A leader from the Syiemlich clan, he led a fierce resistance against the British East India Company's intrusion into the Khasi Hills of present-day Meghalaya. His revolt stands as one of the earliest tribal uprisings against colonial rule in Northeast India.
U Tirot Sing's courage continues to inspire generations as a symbol of indigenous pride, resistance, and sacrifice.

At just 22 years old, @animesh_kujur_ is rewriting the history of Indian athletics. On May 31, 2025, he stunned the nation by winning a bronze medal in the 200-meter sprint, clocking an impressive 20.32 seconds — setting a new national record. And just weeks later, on July 5, at the prestigious Dromia International Sprint and Relays Meeting in Vari, Greece, Animesh made headlines again by becoming the first Indian ever to run 100 meters in just
10.18 seconds.
His incredible pace, dedication, and consistency are not just personal milestones — they mark a new beginning for sprinting in India. A star is rising, and the world is starting to take notice.
