GROSS VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

India is the land of gross violation of tribal human rights from very early centuries. Since Mahabharat and Ramayana, be it their geographical space, thumb of Eklavya, hospitality, chiefdoms, kingdoms, virgins and women, land, territorial rights and it's belonging, mutation of their names and surnames and, religion, languages, festivals and folklore, crops and seeds, relief and developmental funds, jobs, self respect and socio-cultural security, traditional culture and art, myths-folktales-legends and other forms of oral traditions, since centuries their property and now a day’s their innocent lives and human rights are under serious threats in sad to say in Free India. Mama Baleshwar Dayal a doyen of tribal human rights in Bhilanchal used to often say, the second slavery that is deshi, in modern India we shall never be able to over throw it. All over India similar cases are frequently repeating in-spite of Government of India has promulgated Atrocity Act to protect the tribal human rights in depth and honesty. So far it is good but on the grass root level its impact is far from satisfaction.

The recent incident that took place in Raipurya of Jhabua district (MP) on the 14th of January 2009 in the present day is but a representative one of the same horrible situation that is persisting today freely in the tribal areas since many centuries unnoticed. The Jhabua incident also shall be bypasses conveniently by the administration including many other cases or charges will be framed against the innocents, without punishing the guilty persons. Much worse in the present case, the policemen of Jhabua district beat up an innocent tribal Thavria Meda (40) mercilessly to death. The names of the policemen are Kartar Singh and Ishvarlal. At present there is a good Superintendent of Police (SP) in the district of Jhabua. But the culprits are not punished to give justice to the tribal human rights.

In normal life of the district police and other law enforcing authorities are literally chasing the tribals round the clock. During the folk festivals of the tribals' the police and administration are the least respectful of their celebrations such as on the occasions of Bhagoria, marriage, Gal, Gad, Gohari, weekly markets etc. Others also commit the crimes but police is not seen scrutinising them. The local MP Kantilal Bhuriya and newly elected MLA Valsingh Meda visited the badly affected village but to no satisfactory effects. It is good to keep the law enforcing authorities in the state and in the district of Jhabua as well. But in such lawless situation, who shall police the overall corrupt police force in the districts, and promote with honesty and dedication the tribal human rights....?
