TRIBAL HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST

By MAHIPAL BHURIYA

Adivasikaran (tribalisation and aboriginalisation)

Mahipal Bhuriya is nationally and internationally renowned for ADIVASI KARAN (tribalisation and aboriginalisation) in public speeches, Radio talks and research papers on the tribal/Adivasi/indigenous & nomadic peoples issues specifically relating to human and cultural rights very much denied at all levels in India. For the support of these issues he has widely travelled in India and abroad participating in the seminars, reading research papers, sharing and discussing views with experts. To propagate the human rights and cultural rights, as such ignored by the mainstream society of India, he has prepared a 23 pages of important paper vitally dealing with today's dynamic topic of Adivasikaran (tribalisation and Aboriginalisation) in three important languages of India relating to the indigenous perspectives and the context , first, Hindi ( the national language of India) for national readership, second, Bhili (the language of the largest tribe of India) for the regional use and third, in English for the international readers. The paper is being translated now in Italian and Hungarian languages as well since more and more people are getting interested in the human and cultural rights issues of a wider and most marginalised populations of the country namely tribals/Adivasis/indigenous whatever name you may call them who form today as the marginalised and holistically deprived from many many centuries in India by those who historically encroached their God given Adivasi Habitats. Thanks to the British peoples, administrators and cultural anthropologists, that they created a separate category of tribals and Adivasis or indigenous peoples in India. Otherwise they would be irrationally be assimilated by Brahmanism, holistically dualities and all their land and properties would be bought by the most able ones like Tata and others from the India society in the name of national integration or development. The Great Constitution of India has sufficient provisions to safeguard the rights of these peoples. In this regard, thanks to the far reaching vision of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar due to whom these ethnic categories are legally safe and getting some benefits which too are are in great dangers today since the mainstream society is bent on depriving them in most modern way. In this connection surely ADIVASI KARAN (Tribalisation and Aborigninalisation) shall be a solid defence for their overall human and cultural rights in peaceful way with immediate effects in near future.


Recently a prominent Hindi weekly published from Udaipur (Rajasthan) India called Parivartan PRABHAKAR edited by Meghwal Bhagirath a tribal/Adivasi human rights activist, has carried a two and a half pages long article on the topic of Adivasi karan, in one of the January issues of 2009. Prior to this another Hindi monthly committed to the cause indigenous peoples of India, called BAHUJAN VIKAS, published from New Delhi, had enthusiastically printed the same paper in two issues the paper entitled Adivasikaran. Last year a Hindi-Bhili bi-monthly called Samanvaya edited and published from Meghnagar, District Jhabua (MP), by a social worker named Malhing Kattara, had carried Bhili version of the paper ADIVASI KARAN. Already two booklets of less than 70 pages, has been already printed and published from Jhabua. Since the paper written most from the indigenous perspectives and cognition, broadly dealing with the Tribal/Adivasi/Indigenous & Nomads' human and cultural rights in details, a larger version of these is getting ready soon for the English readers. It is believed by the scholars in India that it is holistic and best approach for the burning issues of the tribal development in India, says prominent cultural anthropologist of India Professor Sachidananda.
